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.

    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. I have zero excitement for season 3 at this point, notI thought the 2nd season was a dud. She went from the cute kind of crazy, to the uncomfortable kind of crazy.

    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.
