Being honest, there is such a deluge of "actors making it in LA/New York" web series that I'm about to institute a moratorium on watching them. It's not that they're all terrible, just that there isn't much different between the shows than the casts.
Today's show, Girl Parts, doesn't do anything terribly new in the subgenre, but it's still a solid and genuinely funny show. Main character Ash and her boss are the breakout characters. They play off each other well, and have great chemistry as the actors clearly try to one up each other.
While the actresses all give great performances, there really isn't a whole lot differences in Ash's roommates. This could be because the season is only five episodes in and they're just supporting characters, but it's hard to tell who is who at times.
The show looks good, and has some interesting camera angles like a shot from within the fridge in the pilot. The sound is also excellent, as is the 60s British Rock-inspired theme song. Overall, the production is good and I can't find any flaws that interrupt the viewing process.
Episodic is the name of the game. There isn't much of a continuing story, but there is a strong sense of continuity between the episodes, such as a running gag about Bill Murray.
If you can get past the original setup, Girl Parts is an enjoyable little show, albeit a little on the bubblegum side. I'd definitely recommend giving it a chance.
