“The Sex Lives of College Girls” (TV-MA) – A diverse group of four 18-year-old freshmen girls, Kimberly, Bela, Leighton and Whitney, get assigned to room together at Essex College in Vermont. Even though they all come from different backgrounds, the girls find themselves at a level playing field as they make their first ventures out into the “real world.” Without parental supervision and with more freedom than they’ve ever had before, they attempt to navigate adulthood in the only way 18-year-olds know how: the occasional crash and burn. Created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, this comedy series is full of great laughs and heartwarming moments, beautifully encapsulating the beginning years of adulthood. The first two seasons are out now! (HBO Max)
