As Season 5 begins, Hannah (Lena Dunham) has put her writing ambitions aside and is teaching alongside Fran (Jake Lacy), her new boyfriend. Marnie (Allison Williams) realizes that she needs more space after her honeymoon with Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach).

My Thoughts

Girls is a fun series that follows a group of women as they try to make it through their twenties. This is a time of life where there are a lot of changes. People start careers, and meet their future spouses. The four girls in this series go through relate-able issues while they build their lives, and they do it with both laughter and touching moments.  One dreams of being a writer, one is trying to be a therapist, and one is adjusting to marriage. Together, they make up a group that is easy to get attached to and always fun to watch.


Even though I am coming into this series late, I still really enjoyed it. I like the bond between the girls and how they stand by each other,  Boyfriends may come and go, but their friendship can survive anything. We all need a group of friends like this.
