Following the New York City adventures of a group of twenty-something women, the series focuses on Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) and her complicated web of friends, ex-friends, boyfriends and ex-boyfriends.

This season, Hannah forges ahead with her writing pursuits and begins seeing someone new, but her enthusiasm is tempered by the responsibility she feels for her now-ex Adam (Adam Driver), convalescing after being hit by a truck in the Season One finale. Let down by work and still lonely after calling things off with Charlie (Christopher Abbott), Marnie (Allison Williams) needs her best friend and former roommate more than ever, but lingering awkwardness - and some surprising turns - only drive a wedge further between them. Meanwhile, Jessa (Jemima Kirke) returns from her honeymoon and tries to settle into life with her new husband, Thomas-John (Chris O'Dowd), a sleazy businessman who she hardly knows. Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) takes charge of her sexuality - and copes with the emotions that come along with it - as Ray (Alex Karpovsky) has an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude toward their relationship. The girls may have their ups and downs, but the show's raw poignancy and fresh humour remain constant.

From writer/director/actor Lena Dunham and comedy veterans Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, this scripted half-hour series focuses on a group of women in their early twenties in New York and their adventures in post-collegiate floundering.

Two years out of liberal arts school, Hannah (Dunham) believes she has the talent to be a successful writer, though she has yet to complete her memoir - she has to live it first. But when her parents cut her off financially without warning, her New York life becomes a series of humiliating challenges. Further complicating things for Hannah is her unrequited passion for eccentric actor/woodworker Adam, with whom she occasionally has sex, at least when he can be bothered to respond to her text messages. As the harsh reality of rent and bills looms, Hannah leans on her very put-together best friend and roommate Marnie, who has a real job at an art gallery and an even realer boyfriend, neither of which she can admit she might not love. Meanwhile, their gorgeous British friend Jessa, who has travelled to as many different countries as she's had "lovers", appears in the city and moves in with Shoshanna, her naive younger cousin. Over the course of Season 1's ten episodes, the four girls try to figure out what they want - from life, from boys, from themselves and each other. The answers aren't always clear or easy, but the search is profoundly relatable and infinitely amusing.
