1 "Sex and The City"
I mean. it is in the title of the show, so this first choice should be pretty obvious! This show follows a writer, Carrie Bradshaw, as she blogs about her sexual experiences, friendships, and life in the big city of New York.

"Girls" is the HBO show starring Lena Dunham about a group of recent college graduates finding themselves and their careers early in their adult lives.
