Whether you're a fan of the show or despise the very thought of it, HBO's new girls-in-the-city comedy "Girls" is dominating the talk around Hollywood and all over the web.
The series follows Hannah (series creator Lena Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshana (Zosia Mamet) as they struggle to "make it" in New York City in their early 20s.
Sounds like another show you've heard of right? Yes, the explicit content is in the same vein as "Sex and the City," but there's more to these early-twenties girls than shoes, sex and clothes.
Find out more about the actresses and the roles they play here. They may not represent all millennials out there, but they're worth some attention.
The Creator: Lena Dunham
It seemed that overnight, "Girls" creator Lena Dunham became an indie darling on her quick way to mainstream success.
Dunham directed, wrote and starred in the comedy "Tiny Furniture" which won the best narrative feature at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2010.
The movie earned her some recognition with big-shot comedy producer Judd Apatow who helped bring "Girls" to the Home Box Office cable channel.
The Best Friend: Allison Williams
Allison Williams is a Yale graduate and a viral video sensation. Surprised? So were we.
From a very young age, Williams knew she wanted to be an actress. And only a few months after graduating from her Ivy-League university, she fulfilled that dream.
But it all started with a few simple videos on YouTube and Funny or Die.
She sang the theme song to "Mad Men" with a twist and made a "Why I Choose Yale" video which have both hit well over half a million views. And her Pippa Middleton parodies are definitely worth watching.
Jemima Kirke
The new British transplant to New York City on "Girls," Jemima Kirke is already a rising star.
The actress has known Lena Dunham since high school and even co-starred in Dunham's festival film "Tiny Furniture."
And that was the most acting experience she really had before booking the role on "Girls." Originally Kirke wasn't actively pursuing a career in the 'biz but when Dunham came to her about the show, she was in support and on board.
Only two episodes in and Kirke's character is already dealing with some heavy plot lines.
