Crazy Ex Girlfriend

I think I have a new favorite show.

I don't say this lightly. I like a lot of TV. I'm particularly drawn to The CW lately which caters to a younger audience. I'm not sure if that means I'm young at heart or immature in my preferences. I have The Flash (where the protagonist is named Barry so what's not to like), iZombie that I simply adore, as well as binging on older shows I catch on Netflix.

This show isn't for everyone. It has singing and a humor that is subtle. I really like the lead. She's gorgeous, smart and witty and while that can draw you in, and even sympathize with her on a lot of levels, she does things that send alarm bells ringing all over. In one plot point she starts feeling attraction to a man that took her to a carnival and to overcome her feeling trapped by that feeling, leaves him standing there and sleeps with a carnie. The man that took her out can't understand just what is wrong with this girl but he still is fascinated with her.

The lead, Rachael Bloom, isn't quite as overtly crazy as Liana Morris of Overly Attached Girlfriend fame but she does have a history of portraying obsessive love as demonstrated in her earlier Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury video.

I won't go into the psychology of the situation and my own latent fears of appearing to be the crazy ex-boyfriend to my past significant others. I have my own issues with appearing to be stalkerish when I really just like to talk and be social. You know, social media, I figure if they didn't want me to look at their 6 year old photo albums and post a random like, they wouldn't keep them there, amiright? I also try not to tag their photos with my name, but sometimes mistakes happen.

It's a good show. Not for kids as there are plenty of references to body parts and functions as well as the whole psycho thing. Still. it is good for some of your remaining time on the earth. At least that is my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
