Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–2019)
5/10
a mixed bag
11 March 2017
I have never been as mixed up about a title as I was with this one. On the plus side of the ledger, Rachel Bloom has true star quality. You cannot take your eyes off of her, and she has great hooters. The other cast members are also extremely talented. But the premise is, even giving it slack for its inventiveness, "crazy". Nothing about Josh made it seem like he would be the object of such non-stop stalking, other than the fact that he was her teenage summer romance at camp.

But the thing I found most objectionable was that in every single situation, the so-called comedy went so far over the edge to pain that it was: not funny.

Listen to what I am saying. I feel like they took a plot and songs that could have been edgy and *cute*, and made it painful to watch.

I am pretty sure I would not be the only one who feels this way, so I am just forewarning anyone else.

Because of this, although we finished watching all of Season 1, we are not going to continue. Life is too short, and it is really too bad, because I wanted to like this.
