Girls - Season 5
The Season 4 finale seemed to delicately hint that there might be more to the blossoming friendship between Adam and Jessa, and Sunday night’s episode confirmed it. The fifth season premiere is a reminder that recent seasons have done a lot to push the girls in different directions, and that they've rarely been together as a quartet.

As relationships take on new shades of meaning as they become grounded and real, Girls begins to really build something wonderful. Dare we call it ... maturity?

Rather than the weaving narrative of earlier seasons, this episode felt too bitty for the viewer to re-connect with any of the characters.

Girls still feels like Girls, albeit a less surprising version than it was back at the start, and that bumpy transition into real maturity should provide some good material for everyone as the series moves through these last two years.

There is love and gentleness to the show that is more pervasive than ever before in the fifth season.

Endearing, alienating, genuinely funny, and regularly contemptible, the fifth season of Girls remains the best-acted, best-written reason to scream into a pillow on a weekly basis.
