The CW has premiered a brand new drama.
It is titled Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and, no, it is not about Taylor Swift. (We kid, T. Swizzle. And we love you!)
Instead, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 1 Episode 1 introduced viewers to Rebecca Bunch, a tightly-wound corporate lawyer whose personality has served her well at a firm in New York, but less well in her personal life.
Basically because she has no personal life.
But Rebecca takes it as some kind of sign when she runs into Josh Chan, her former summer camp crush, and then drops everything (her job, her apartment) to move to West Covina, California… where Josh happens to live!
Thanks to her impressive resume, Rebecca nabs a job at a local law firm, though the head paralegal there is suspicious of Rebecca’s basis for relocation and her boss isn’t much of an authority figure.
Settling into her new Southern California surroundings, Rebecca soon discovers something that her social media stalking somehow did not reveal:
Josh has a girlfriend! WTH is up with that?!?
Did we mention that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is sort of a musical? The main character is occasionally delusional, but always enthusiastic, a trait that rubs off on her new friends and neighbors.
It’s safe to say that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a departure from The CW’s gamut of superhero and supernatural-based offerings… but is it a welcome departure?
