Ones to watch: TV’s 2013 gems

If you want to make a series about the lives of American 20-something urban females, it’d be the dream scenario to have a creator, writer, director and lead actress who are of that group. Step forward Ms Lena Dunham. Girls was one of the sharpest new additions to the schedules last year, and the release of the DVD boxset next month should help ensure its popularity snowballs. Chris O’Dowd stays on for part of the new series, while Rosanna Arquette also makes an appearance.
