I felt the same way about most of Sex In The City. I think both shows are probably best serving the female audience that identifies with particular characters. The girls in Girls do have that whiny sense of entitlement and that is part of the show. It is the sort of attitude that a lot of middle to upper middle class young women have at that stage in their lives. They have an education that they were told made them special in some way. So they do think the world owes them a bit of something.
What comes next in their development is being knocked back down to earth and having to find out who you have to earn your place in the world. I suspect that is where the show is going. There have been several scenes in it that could have been ripped out of a diary of my circle of friends from late high school/early college. I am pretty sure I would hate that version of myself now.
