You've read the reviews, now see the show. HBO is making the premiere of Girls available to non-subscribers now on various platforms -- and they'll do the same next week for Julia Louis-Dreyfus' new comedy Veep.

Obviously trying to build some buzz -- especially among younger viewers in the same demo as the shows' characters -- HBO has the Girls premiere streaming free at hbo.com/girls.

(You'll have to log-in with a birthdate to view; it's TV-MA content.)

It's also on YouTube and TV.com. Or try your cable/satellite provider to see if it's available among free on-demand options. GIrls viewing ends May 14.

Veep hits the web the day after its HBO debut at 10 p.m. ET Sunday (April 22). This premiere stays up through May 21, and also will be available free on iTunes during the sampling period.
