I've not watched it, but I have considered it based on Where's The Bathroom? and Remember That We Suffered.

First episode, but thats because I love musicals.

Unfortunately, the show's title is misleading and makes it sound like a show its not.

The show is incredibly witty and lampshades so many television, movie, and musical tropes by poking fun at them with eccentric musical numbers.

The show also plays on character and gender stereotypes by flipping them over their heads.

But most interestingly, the show can get surprisingly serious by showing the very harmful effects of mental health issues when left untreated. I was surprised how the zany situations at the beginning of the show suddenly became more serious when you realize the main character is in serious need of mental help but chooses to instead deny it and live in the fantastical world she created.

I really recommend people give the show a try. The writing kinda gives me a Community vibe, with some 30 Rock and Cougartown in there.

This right here is what really bothers me. It's like izombie, the title does not do the show any favors whatsoever and it's a damn shame. Before when people would talk about crazy ex gf I kept imagining this crappy uma thurman movie so ignored it for years, until one day I saw it on netflix and decided to play it in the background on a whim.

I had no idea I was in for a clever, witty show that could get surprisingly "real" about mental health issues, completely acknowledging some of the antics the character does as borderline, stuff that's usually passed on because "haha romantic comedy" type tropes.

And I really enjoyed the songs, as someone who's not really into music. Especially those rare times when I recognized what they were parodying, like the lala land drugs song. They're catchy yes but more importantly they tie into the story so well and fit perfectly, whether they're comedic or upbeat or what have you.

I saw her perform her show live on stage in New York. She did her most popular songs, then finished with the Heavy Boobs song and literally took her top off onstage and started shaking them as she performed the song topless. Was definitely not what I was expecting to see at the show but was much appreciated lol. Definitely a Rachel Bloom move.

it was a fun show but i think it got a fair bit worse at the end and i really didn't like the addition of the third love interest. i think it got annoyingly meta and a lot of the songs were lame in the final episodes (like the first link in the op)

still fun overall, but i immediately knew how it was going to end because of course she picks none of them and i'm surprised they even attempted a third love interest

To be fair, they did hint that she would in fact pick Greg in the future once she fixed things in her life.

I got into the show when I discovered Rachel Bloom at the Golden Globes in 2016. Never really cared for it; I was only tuning in just to watch her big tits.

Great series. Probably She Gives Good Parent, Jewish/American Princess Battle Rap, and Santino's I Could If I Wanted To.

Why are people getting into this show all of a sudden lol

It consistently had poor ratings throughout its run. I'm surprised it lasted four seasons

I forgot how I got into it initially, but I remember really falling in love with it during some specific numbers - namely the song "You Stupid Bitch" (yes, an actual title) because it adequately went over the thoughts you have when you're beating yourself up for something and I related so hard.

My personal qualm with the show happens post S3 because I didn't like how they did such a drastic shift in tone. It went from a comedy-drama to more pure drama and it just wasn't my thing. I also didn't like certain decisions they made later on like replacing Santino, rumored because he was so popular, etc.

Still, I'd recommend it 100% as there are some really REALLY catchy songs. Group Hang, I Give Good Parent, Let's Have Intercourse, etc. etc.

I keep reading that online, but I swear I saw nipple at our showing. My wife also noticed that. It was a later night showing, so maybe the pasties were in the earlier performances?

Well it was a CW show and they tend to go by how well the internet reacts to someone when deciding to Renew a show as they make money by selling the shows to streaming services

And despite its low ratings the show won Emmys and I'm sure CW liked having an award winning show in their docket

As a matter of fact, it just got taken off netflix which is really annoying when I want to rewatch a scene or clip that I love.

It's still on Netflix. My bestie and I are currently binging it (she's never seen it and is a therapist, so it's funny listening to her commentary.)
