Crazy Ex-Girlfriend romps and rolls without really missing a beat. Read full review

Bloom is so perfect for the part, emerging as a fully formed character. She grounds Rebecca, but is also fearless when Rebecca needs to live up to the title of the show. Read full review

A charming, ambitious, utterly singular show about a slightly nuts, but loveable woman who regularly breaks into song has made it onto TV. Read full review

The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend premiere also was full of surprises, taking oddball twists and turns with, not only Rebecca, but the supporting characters as well. All in all, an impressive prime-time debut for Bloom as star, co-creator and executive producer of the slyly crafted show. That's the good news. The great news is that, from what the CW has revealed of future episodes, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend appears to be staying on the wild and unpredictable track. Read full review

The good news: the songs remain both sharp and diverse in style, including riffs on Bollywood and boy bands to go with the more showtune-y numbers. And the show's starting to sketch in the supporting characters. Read full review

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has the sort of kooky, off-kilter, off-the-wall energy of such true TV originals as Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. The musical productions are wonderfully surreal, if slightly grotesque. But the songs themselves are merely adequate. And judging from the pilot alone--the only episode the CW made available--the characterizations are shallow and the humor far too broad. Bloom is impressive as the title character, Rebecca Bunch.

This is my favorite new show of the season! I love the main character as well as all of the supporting characters. I find this show thoroughly charming and love how they break into clever musical numbers in each episode. I hope this show is successful.

My wife and I are pretty discerning, and didn't really expect much from this CW show -- not really our demographic.

I dislike predictability in a strong way. I can't watch shows like Blindspot because it's the same episode every time in a new light. I love how the plot changes in this show.

The pilot is practically perfect. It's consistently enjoyable and often hilarious. Though it could use a new title, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is off to a great start thanks to its energetic and refreshing lead actress.

CrazyEx is different. It's quirky, witty and refreshing. The main character, Rebecca Bunch played by Rachel Bloom is hilarious and confident with her Spanx but ridden with daddy issues.

She parodies real life current situations i.e. misplaced apostrophes which I believe, was wasted on people who make the mistake on a daily basis.

I like the show for its originality and unpredictability and Rachel Bloom is a comedic genius. Unfortunately most won't get her brand of humour and the show might not last longer than one season....… Expand
