Murky 'Girls' no rival to Sex and the City
It follows a group of close twenty-somethings living in New York City, and some people hoped it would fill the gap for Sex and the City fans still pining for TV glamour. There are certainly shades of SATC in here: the main character is a writer; she has three close girlfriends; they live in New York; they all have a varied sex life. They even mention SATC in the very first episode, but that’s where the connections end.
Girls is the coarse younger sister to the addictive and sassy SATC. In SATC we were served a tantalising cocktail of sharp plotlines against a stylish backdrop, involving men in even sharper suits, or cooly casual.
