http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... -2012.htmlDie Sex and the City-Vergleiche sind bei einer neuen HBO-Comedy um Frauen in der Großstadt wohl unvermeidlich, aber die Kritiken (momentan herausragende 90 % aus 18 Kritiken bei metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/tv/girls/season-1 )bestätigen bisher meinen Eindruck, dass die Ähnlichkeiten nur oberflächlichster Natur sind. Die erste Folge der zehnteiligen ersten Staffel läuft diesen Sonntag. Angesichts des Presseechos dürfte die Verlängerung selbst bei schwachen Quoten nicht lange auf sich warten lassen. Ob es mir selbst gefällt oder ob es am Ende doch zu östrogengetränkter Humor ist, bleibt abzuwarten.
Inhalt
Lena Dunham stars as Hannah Horvath, a would-be novelist and intern who is supported by her professor parents. She lives in a shabby walk-up with her best friend Marnie (Allison Williams, daughter of news anchor Brian), who works in an art gallery, has terrible sex with her lothario partner Adam (Adam Driver), and is more or less adrift. Hannah is not so much navel gazing, as navel obsessing, whether it is about being the “voice of [her] generation” (or “a voice of a generation”), the “stuff that gets up around the sides of condoms,” whether she has AIDS, or what she will do with her life.
She is, in other words, the archetypical 20-something existing in the increasingly deep chasm between adolescence and adulthood, and Dunham makes Hannah instantly charismatic and hilarious, willing to bare her body and her soul with the same ease.
Girls is, in many ways, the antithesis to HBO’s own ladies-in-Manhattan fantasy, Sex and the City, offering a far more realistic portrayal of sisterhood than that of Carrie Bradshaw and Co., though virginal student Shoshanna (Mad Men’s Zosia Mamet, daughter of playwright David) does have a SATC poster prominently displayed in her “bachelorette pad,” and she categorizes herself and other women by Sex and the City character types. But while Carrie and her kin moved effortlessly through high fashion and fabulous sex, Hannah and her friends live a decidedly less exuberant lifestyle.
Those friends include the uptight and tightly wound Allison, convinced that her boyfriend Charlie (Christopher Abbott) is too good to her, and naive and sheltered Shoshanna, who brings candy to an abortion clinic, as well as the nomadic Jessa (Tiny Furniture’s Jemima Kirke, the daughter of Bad Company drummer Simon), Shoshanna’s English cousin, who breezes in from Paris, leaving havoc and wounded feelings in her wake. Jessa’s caustic egocentrism hides a mass of vulnerability, as well as a seeming inability to express empathy for anyone around her. Even an unwanted potential pregnancy becomes simply a trifling inconvenience for the thrill-seeking Jessa, as she collides literally and figuratively with everyone and everything around her.
