ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

harrisonlundy I remember stumbling on this show through YouTube. The first glimpse I got of it was the song "Love Kernels." After watching that, all I could think was "oh my God, I have to see this show." The musical genius this show carries with it may not appeal to everyone, but I want to urge everyone to try watching the first few episodes and decide for yourself. This show is raw, real, and relatable above all else. I can imagine myself in the same scenarios that the main character Rebecca finds herself in, and I can imagine myself acting the same ways as well. There are several moments every episode where I laugh out loud, because the script is satisfyingly unpredictable. You can see the HBO-esque roots of the show in the songwriting as well, as many have mature, satirical undertones to them. Rachel Bloom, of course, delivers my favorite performance overall, with Donna Lynne Champlin being a close second for me. Like I said, this musical is perfectly imperfect in my eyes, but it may not be for everyone. From the beginning, the show was probably for a specific group of people, but i'm happy to know that this group is growing, and more people are appreciating this show. As of season 3, I'm not sure what's next for the show, however. The premise of the show was wonderfully executed, but now that the main story arc is more or less over, the show is now at a steadier pace. But that's why I like this show so much. Rebecca isn't the only "crazy ex." Characters like Valencia or Paula can also be seen as a "crazy-ex" at times to remind you that it's never just one person. If this show were to end after season 3, I would feel satisfied, but I do hope it continues, because I want to see what the wonderful writing staff has prepared for us!

mrbigdogu I was actually enjoying the plot and thought the characters might grow on me - until she started singing. Oh, just DON'T. Halfway through the first musical number I was tempted to turn it off but hung on. Mercifully, the song ended and they went back to building an actual plot with some humorous potential. Just as I was starting to get interested again, BAM, another musical number even more pointless than the first one. I didn't make it through that one. Good bye.

Azzurra A musical comedy about deconstructing this sexist term, Crazy Ex Girlfriend is the story of a modern girl's quest for happiness and love. While she might try to find them in the wrong places, she'll meet people along the way whose lives she'll change and who will help her confront her delusions.Rebecca Bunch is a likable anti-hero, stuck in a limbo of embarrassing self-sabotage and hilarious musical fantasies, attributes that remind me of two other TV characters I love very much: Ally McBeal (from the eponymous show) and John Dorian (Scrubs).What really made me fall in love with this show is the way Rebecca does not get away with the questionable decisions she makes and how the show defies the expectations the audience has over the protagonist's romantic arc.A laugh out loud comedy with catchy hilarious songs, this is the show for you if you're looking for a realistic and feminist take on romance and mental illness.

Joey Cat Some of this show is pretty hard to watch especially when someone as beautiful and talented like Ms. Bloom lowers herself to win the favor of 2 jokers who remind me of people I smoked pot with back when I lived in West Covina. The cast is very talented, although I wish she would give glimpses of the real West Covina that I know. I like that she is focusing on the underrepresented Filipino community and I hope she hires more Fil/Ams, still this isn't the West Covina I know, the drug use, the crazy ex boyfriends, gangs, street races, back yard parties, bbq's etc., West Covina isn't too far from Pomona,(I'm not knocking The P-Town) so I'd like her to include some of the violence I witnessed growing up there. I also think she should focus more on slap stick humor instead of all this self deprecation. She doesn't look broken, she's cooky, funny, but thats not enough to help define the narrative what her show is about. I know real crazy ex girlfriends, and she is on the borderline of "not that interested in you but I will try anyway." I guess I went in expecting the genius comedy of Laverne and Shirley, but I digress, the show could stand some improvement.If you like musicals, with talented performers this show is a must watch, but if you grew up in the West Co during the 90's give the show a grain of salt. Peace!
