These 5 'Girly' Shows Are About to Become Your New Guilty Pleasure

Everyone has a guilty pleasure. And if you're looking for something to share between you and your TV, these 'girly' shows could be just the thing:

1. The Sex Lives of College Girls

The clue is in the name. Four girls starting college struggle to balance their studies with the usual pressures of young adult life. And they all have pretty full sex lives - which can at times add another layer of complexity to their troubles. There are currently 20 episodes of the show across 2 seasons, with a third greenlit in late 2022.

2. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

New York City lawyer Rebecca moves to California to track down Josh, her ex-boyfriend from high school summer camp. Except Josh already has a girlfriend. But there's always his best friend Greg, with whom Rebecca begins an on-off relationship. There are 62 episodes over 4 seasons and the show is a musical comedy with a great soundtrack.

3. Hacks

Aging Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance faces losing her residency if she can't freshen up her act. She ends up working with an up-and-coming young comedy writer who's notoriously difficult to get along with - and who's been cancelled because of an insensitive tweet - but it doesn't look like a match made in heaven. It might just work, though. With just 2 seasons and 18 episodes, it's highly bingeable and you can watch it all in one weekend.

4. Gilmore Girls

A show about mother-daughter relationships. Single mother Lorelai Gilmore has high hopes of opening her own inn. And her daughter Rory wants to go to Harvard. The two get along well - but Lorelai's overbearing parents loom large in their lives. Emily and Richard Gilmore are obsessed with keeping up appearances and help pay for Rory's tuition at a private school. Much of the tension comes from the forced Friday night dinners that Lorelai and Rory attend in return for this generosity. 153 episodes over 7 seasons.

5. Sex and the City

The ultimate girly show. It's timeless as it follows the exploits of four close friends with very different personalities who remain inseparable. Set in New York City, the women lead active sex lives and the show tackles subjects such as promiscuity, sexuality and the meaning of femininity. A classic of the 90s and early 2000s, there are 6 seasons and 94 episodes.
