So far the show is biting, funny, touching and surprising. In short, it's an absolute delight, and possibly even better than the landmark first season. Read full review

It's richer than ever. It's more nuanced. Whereas it used to be buzzy and contentious, it's now simply good. Read full review

Season four is definitely a turning point for these characters, as we watch them reach for some semblance of adulthood, but this newfound maturity is shaky at best. Read full review

It remains invigoratingly itself and it continues to land in Hannah in a series of situations in which layers of thematic complexity stack up like delayed planes circling a busy airport. Read full review

Hannah’s finally growing up, and how she deals with the inevitable betrayals of people she placed too much trust in will provide Girls with a worthy season arc--and give the aspiring novelist inside the hipster some real material to come. Read full review

Girls continues to operate in a very limited range, both benefiting from, and in some ways handcuffed by, its generational specificity. Read full review

With talents like Dunham (who created the show, writes, directs and stars) and executive producer Judd Apatow behind the scenes, you’d expect at least more chuckles than you get from this sad return. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Users should not be able to rate seasons based off just the first episode.

This was by far my favorite season of this show. Characters went from wildly hard to relate to and transformed into still quirky characters that brought interesting perspectives to very relatable life problems.

Hannah struggles to find her place in this world, while Marnie desperately seeks affection. Jenna is still the crazy strange woman she has been, but in season 4 that plays to her favor. But most of all, Shoshanna has some bombshell lines such as - “People always talk about how love is like the strongest emotion. But I was scared, and sometimes that’s even stronger."

If you didn't like Girls before, you aren't going to like it now. But if you're like me, who got hooked for the first season and felt that it was derailing itself and losing purpose in season 3, season 4 will be a pleasant surprise for you.… Expand

The characters are brilliantly fleshed out. No one escapes Dunham's scathing critique (including her own character, Hannah). These are silly people full of their own sense of importance basically fighting for attention like a box of puppies.

These are silly people full of their own sense of importance basically fighting for attention like a box of puppies. Toss in rather graphic sex scenes and you've got one Molotov Cocktail of a show. My favorite character is the motor mouthed Shoshanna Shapiro who spits out one brilliant catch phrase after another. Never thought I could get into a show called "Girls" but I'm hooked.… Expand

Displays a new maturity in the premiere, an effortlessly confident episode that's not bent on being controversial. There have truly been just a few bad episodes of Girls (the rom-com-y beginnings of season three). Dunham knows exactly what she's doing and she's good at it.

I'm surprised to say that season 4 of Girls has taken a turn for the better. Cutting, funny, touching; let's just hope this revitalization will continue on throughout the season.

The first episode felt a bit on the weaker side, but it was nice to see a lot of healing going on with characters after last season situations prior to Hannah's final moments. Will be interesting to see where this season takes us.

"Girls" has become the annoying girlfriend and dramaqueen you so much dislike, but who enriches your boring routine. I cringe and yet can't look away. But once your had your dose, you're happy to be left alone again with your, by far, less boringly complicated life.
