Girls season 5 (HBO)

The familiar funny/painful story arcs continue in this fifth season as the girls hit their mid-twenties and shit starts to get serious. All four appear to be getting their acts together, but appearances can be deceptive. Marnie elects to take the ultimate in dysfunctional relationships to the next level of dysfunction and marries Desi. Hannah has abandoned writing for her unique take on teaching and has accidentally found herself living with the terminally nice Fran. Jessa has finally found her passion and plans to become a therapist, but another passion could finally de-rail her relationship with Hannah. Shoshanna has discovered Utopia in Japan, but living a fantasy isn’t always what you expect. Adam, Elijah and Ray provide support and provocation in equal measure. Constantly making terrible decisions, these privileged white New Yorkers are eminently slappable but ultimately loveable. By the end of the series all four girls have circled back to something like their true selves, but are they doomed to keep repeating their mistakes?
