The comparisons to that other HBO show can’t be avoided, in fact are faced head-on with Shoshanna proudly hanging a poster in a pink bedroom. However where the SATC women where grown-ups established in their careers and entrenched in New York society, These “Girls” are trying to find their way and the miss-steps they take on the road to adulthood are comedy gold. A job interview is derailed when things get a little too comfortable; a trip to the GYN is played straight but delivers the squirmy awkward humor that all women can relate to. “Girls” shares its sensibilities with Ms. Dunham’s critically acclaimed first feature “Tiny Furniture, it’s a wholly original voice that bares comparison to “Manhattan” era Woody Allen. The dialogue rings true like conversations were overheard on the Subway. It’s as if you looked into a window of a tenement in Greenpoint and were sucked in to the lives of the tenants.
