HEARING LOTS OF people talking about the TV show Crazy Ex Girlfriend lately? Listen to them. It’s on Netflix, and each episode is 40 minutes of comedic perfection.
The show follows the trials and tribulations of Rebecca Bunch, who quits her fancy New York job and moves to California after reconnecting with her teenage boyfriend, Josh.
Mental illness is a huge theme of the show, and it’s packed with “argh, too real” moments.
Right off the bat in the first episode, the Sexy Getting Ready Song contrasts the effort women put into getting ready (waxing, plucking, etc) with what the lads do (nap on the couch). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The show was also created by two women (Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna), and has a diverse cast and crew. Yas.
5. Rachel Bloom will be your new dream BFF

She always looks like she’s having the BEST time on red carpets (there she is with her Golden Globe). Throw us your plus one, will you Rachel?
