Girls: The Complete Third Season

Genre: Drama, Romance,
Rated: MA
Lena Dunham returns as the third, highly anticipated season of her Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning comedy series Girls comes to Blu-ray™ and DVD from December 10th. Following the misadventures of a group of 20-something friends in NYC, the series centers on Hannah Horvath (Dunham) and her mess of anxieties, insecurities and uncertainty as she approaches her mid-20s. In Season 3, Hannah is now in a committed relationship with Adam (Adam Driver), and the two are settling into a newfound domesticity in Hannah's apartment. Hannah is also working on rehabilitating her writing career and concentrating on delivering her eBook to her eccentric publisher. Meanwhile, Marnie (Allison Williams) is adjusting to life after a sudden and traumatic breakup with Charlie and meticulously working to achieve the life she feels she deserves. Nearing graduation, newly single Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) masterminds a plan to create a healthy (at least on paper) balance between partying and her studies. And, continuing her streak of disrupting the lives of those around her, Jessa (Jemima Kirke) resurfaces and strikes up an ambiguous friendship with a flamboyant father figure.
Over this season's 12 episodes, the friendships between the girls are more volatile than ever, proving that female friendship is its own kind of romance. As always, love, life, sex and death can all interrupt the circuitous path to adulthood – and will arrive when you're least prepared.
One of HBO's signature comedy series, Girls premiered in 2012 to an overwhelming reception by critics and fans, receiving five 2013 Emmy® nominations and winning two 2013 Golden Globe Awards: for Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy and for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy (Dunham).
At the end of Season 2, Hannah was on the brink of collapse due to a flare up of her OCD and anxieties from her looming eBook deadline, with Adam coming to her shirtless rescue; Marnie's life seemed back on track, having managed to win back the newly-successful Charlie; Shoshanna split with Ray (Alex Karpovsky) after concluding that her optimism was incompatible with his dark outlook; and Jessa was MIA once again, having abandoned Hannah on their visit to Jessa's father's upstate house. The new season finds the girls a little older and wiser but still coping with the demands of being young and (relatively) independent in an often-intimidating metropolis.

Looking: The Complete First Season
Cast: Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Murray Bartlett, Scott Bakula, Russell Tovey, Lauren Weedman, O.T. Fagbenle, Andrew Law, Raúl Castillo
Genre: TV Drama
Rated: MA
Looking offers up the unfiltered experiences of three close friends living – and loving – in modern-day San Francisco. Friendship may bind them, but each is at a markedly different point in his journey: Patrick (Jonathan Groff) is the 29-year-old video game designer getting back into the dating world in the wake of his ex's engagement; aspiring artist Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez), 31, is questioning the idea of monogamy amid a move to domesticate with his boyfriend; and the group's oldest member, longtime waiter Dom (Murray Bartlett), 39, is facing middle age with romantic and professional dreams still unfulfilled. The trio's stories intertwine and unspool dramatically as they search for happiness and intimacy in an age of unparalleled choices – and rights – for gay men. Also important to the Looking mix is the progressive, unpredictable, sexually open culture of the Bay Area, with real San Francisco locations serving as a backdrop for the group's lives. Rounding out the Looking world are Dom's roommate Doris (Lauren Weedman), Agustín's boyfriend Frank (O.T. Fagbenle), and Patrick's co-worker Owen (Andrew Law), as well as love interests Kevin (Russell Tovey), Lynn (Scott Bakula), and Richie (Raúl Castillo).
Looking is a groundbreaking comedy that demonstrates, to varying degrees, the extent to which the gay lifestyle has gone mainstream. Unlike other recent TV shows about gay life, the focus of Looking is not just on sex and gay clubs, but on themes that everyone, gay and straight, can relate to: falling in love, finding professional fulfillment, forging an identity in a complicated world, searching for happiness.
Over the course of the first season's eight episodes, Patrick deals with a choice between two mates – one who speaks to his head (Kevin), and another who speaks to his heart (Richie) – while grappling with insecurities about who he is, what he wants, what his parents and friends think. Agustín, an artist who fancies himself a radical, struggles with the idea of domestication; with his boyfriend Frank's support, he strives to reach an ideal he set for himself, but is afraid he won't get there. And Dom, older than his friends but still unsure of his future, starts a relationship with a man in his 60s (played by Scott Bakula) – a shift from Dom's prior obsession with youth and beauty.
