Those who watched HBO’s Girls either loved the series or hated it. It was critically acclaimed and had a solid fanbase, but it was generally understood that its characters were highly flawed and insufferable almost all the time. They were certainly well-written and fully formed, but they weren’t necessarily the kind of people you wanted in your circle of friends, seeing as their redeeming qualities were few and far between. However, there were a few gems in the mix, particularly Shoshanna. Played perfectly by Zosia Mamet, Shoshanna was arguably the best character in the entire series. She was the fast-talking and genuinely supportive friend who ultimately distanced herself from Hannah (Lena Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) after realizing her worth and outgrowing them.
