Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 Spin-off
10 August 2022
This show has an audience and I hope it is not too late for them to discover this gem. If Apartment 23 broke your heart when you discovered it only has 2 seasons and went off the air years ago, I have a gift for you. Phoebe Robinson is Krysten Ritter's Chloe, if Chloe had a closer relationship with her family instead of creating a found one. Like 23, the editing feels like someone worked in animation involved in the production- visually dynamic poppy layers of fast-paced comedy.

It is the first time I have seen an accurate portrayal of a woman with a large romantic appetite on TV that has just desensitized her family to her antics and can just exist honestly in judgement free-ish purgatory. Usually the archetype for this character is estranged from her family but the closeness of the family is a more interesting place for comedy to exist and is more honest to the times we are living in.

If this show gets a second season, it would be fun to have Chloe exist in this universe and be a guest on her podcast as a warning of the ghost of Christmas future since they are both owned by ABC. A crossover episode would be amazing.
