    Last season, we saw Rebecca moved into town and changed everyone's life. This season, the people around her are waking up and trying to make positive changes to their life, whilst Rebecca is still stuck in her love problems.

    This show reminds me of Flight of the Conchords. What sets this apart from FOTC, though, is that the dialogue between characters is as funny as the songs and the storyline is stronger, whereas in FOTC the bits in between the songs just felt like filler to set up the next song. Sure, maybe females will get more mileage from the show and relate more to Rebecca, but funny is funny.

    'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' is probably the most underrated show on television right now. It's amazingly well-acted, tremendously funny and creative, leaving us 'adorably obsessed' by it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Improved on the first season. While the first season mainly focused on Rebecca's pursuit Josh, this season took the wiser choice going down differing paths creating more varied content.

    Unfortunately, Greg, one of the best characters leaves after only a few episodes. His absence is felt and the new guy who replace him works, but can't compare.

    Valencia becomes a main character this season and I love it. Last season, she was wasted as the mean competition. This season she's fully utilized and works great with Rachel. Nice to they toned down Donna's manic blind-sightedness.

    The show is still very funny, not as many songs that land, but the ones that do are great. The recurring cast at Rachel's office is expanded upon to great effect. Most importantly, the show goes to greater efforts to break down rom-com stereotypes looking Rachel's expectations through a blend of humor, horror, and sympathy.    … Expand

    Really feel like it's lost it's charm this season. The songs are a bit of a throw-away and don't seem as integrated with the sets and story as they used to be.

It's like, time for a song, cut to a different set, let's shoot this song, now back to the story. Last year, much more integration into the actual scene where characters would just start to break out into song in the midst of a scene, like it was a natural thing to do. Songs also seemed more funny and clever last season, whereas this season they feel a bit forced.

    Story is also beginning to struggle with the eventuality of being bogged down in a love triangle that swings back and forth, and back and forth, and reality. The fun thing about this show was the absolute delusional fantasy that Rebecca was in and the struggle to maintain it and having Paula be right there with her. The show is struggling a bit to find the magical sweetspot of last season.    … Expand

    I thought the 2nd season was a dud. She went from the cute kind of crazy, to the uncomfortable kind of crazy. I also thought the musical element felt very forced this season and didn't flow like season one. What felt like a charming show that i couldn't wait to see in season one, became a chore to get through the second season.

    When I first started watching this show, I loved it. I couldn't stop. I binged for like 4 days. The first season was awesome. But they should have stopped there. I can't deny the satirical genius of Rachel Bloom, but the once stirring and volatile show has become prosaic and mundane. It's once appealing satire has become trite and played out. I haven't even made it to season three so iWhen I first started watching this show, I loved it. I couldn't stop. I binged for like 4 days. The first season was awesome.

    Amazing, comedically perfected and underrated. Best show I've seen and the most feminist and inclusive show out there. Can't wait until season three and four in the upcoming falls.

    One of my favourite shows of all time. Focused funny and human. Honestly unique with it's musical segments and wacky characters. The way it treats it's characters is humane.

    The whole thing comes wrapped in music: a couple of typically clever original numbers, and incidental touches such as a novel use for Scott Joplin’s ragtime touchstone “The Entertainer.” Even the show’s theme song undergoes a re-think; as Rebecca explains, it’s “an emotional thesis statement for myself.” It’s this kind of self-consciousness--tart and pointed, yet not excessively vain--that gives Crazy Ex-Girlfriend its lift.

    There are times when things feel just a little off. Perhaps because of pressure to meet the high expectations set by season one or just some minor challenges finding its footing in season two, the writing occasionally comes across as forced, especially with regard to the Rebecca-Josh-Greg triangle.
