Episode 9 of the new HBO series Girls aired last Sunday, and since I can hardly find time for homework this week, I am only now getting around to watching it.

Lena Dunham is the creator and star of the new series that follows the lives of four 20ish-year-old friends as they live in New York City. 

The season started as Hannah (Dunham), an aspiring writer, gets financially cut off from her parents, and is left in the big city to sort her life out on her own.

Each of the four main characters of the story Allison Williams as Marnie, Jemima Kirke as Jessa, Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna, and Dunham as Hannah support a refreshingly unique personality and story within the series.

In episode 8, Hannah and her aloof lover Adam (Adam Driver) are starting to spend more time together as Marnie agonizes over the breakup of her and her boyfriend. 

Frustrated with her flakiness, Marnie is upset with Hannah forgetting their plans when Jessa stops by. Jessa and Marnie decide to hit cocktail hour where they meet an attractive yet irritating venture capitalist and discover a new facet to their girl-on-girl friendship.

Hannah discovers some new sides to Adam’s character from witnessing him perform an amazingly open and real monologue, to watching him impulsively blow-up at his acting partner and yell at a driver, to discovering him posting “Sorry” signs on the corner where the car nearly hit Hannah.
