    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. A girl can wake up to a new day not expecting to run into terrorists on every single episode chasing them and hunting them down. It's a new day and it's not only refreshing and colorful but cheerful, funny, andI dislike predictability in a strong way.

    Very disappointed with the new fall lineup so far. This was one of the few pleasant surprises which is bad news since every show I like usually winds up canceled (sorry Bad Judge).

    The nicest thing I can say about the pilot is that nothing stuck out. Nothing took me out of the moment and made me think, "Well, that didn't quite work." From the way it's shot, to the casting, to the writing, comedy, performances, and of course, the musical numbers, all of it works. I mean, heck, even the previews for next week are hilarious.

    Loved the band instruments being taken away from the kids during the opening musical number because of funding cuts. And the Nipsey Hussle story is hilarious.

    Like the love interest dude, Greg. Josh is great. Oh, and her new pal Paula makes me smile.

    *Sigh* I am so smitten right now. It can't last, can it? That'd be crazy.

    By the way, Ms. Bloom created and writes this show, along with Aline Brosh McKenna who wrote The Devil Wears Prada. Soooo...this show gots serious pedigree. js    … Expand

    Crazy Ex-girlfriend is underrated, and underwatched. I'm guessing that women aren't watching it because they don't want to be a crazy ex, and men don't watch it, because it has a musical element (albeit a slightly seditious one).

    It's a quite funny show, i just don't enjoy the premise of it... the idea of someone being that obsessed with someone because of a summer fling for me isn't very funny, just really sad, the songs are probably the most creative part of the show

    It's featuring two types of love. Discriminate and indiscriminate loves. Rebecca loves Josh obsessively but Greg loves her in a controlled way and i think this is the key note that this show is attractive to follow.

    This show is rooted in a billion TV and movie cliches which may put off skeptics. But I urge you not to be deterred by that because this show is also funny and sweet with great music. The lead (who is also the co-creator) is very charming, complemented by equally well-cast supporting characters. I really liked the premiere.

    There were basically two songs (both quite good) in the initial episode so it's hard to call this show a musical. The show, and Rachel, just perfectly catch the realities of hitting one's 30s and realizing you're not really happy with your life. Fixing it turns out not to be as easy as Rachel had expected, but it makes for a funny, interesting, clever, and funny show.    … Expand

    It is a wonderful comedy that makes you connect and relate to all the characters in natural way. You feel for them and you want to understand them, also why they are doing what they are doing. They let you know that nobody is perfect. I feel like I can learn a lot through this show and it makes me wanna be a better person.

    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.

    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.
