Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Never. Let. Go.
Created by Aline Brosh McKenna, Rachel Bloom
On The CW
A musical comedy-drama that uses genre pastiche and self-aware humor to excavate the psychology of obsession, self-delusion, and the search for meaning through romantic attachment.
Rebecca Bunch is a successful, driven, and possibly crazy young woman who impulsively gives up everything - her partnership at a prestigious law firm and her upscale apartment in Manhattan - in a desperate attempt to find love and happiness in that exotic hotbed of romance and adventure: suburban West Covina, California.
