Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is for the single folks. We’re all beautiful, special snowflakes, and the holidays can sometimes make us second guess our awesomeness. This show is the reminder we all need this time of year… it’s not just Christmas, crazy can come anytime of the year.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend stars Rachel Bloom as Rebecca Bloom, successful lawyer and owner of an unrequited crush that sometimes borders on an obsession. Rebecca moves to Southern California to chase an old boyfriend after she runs into him outside her office in New York City.
Essentially, Rebecca is all of us when we like somebody who doesn’t like us back – unreasonable, single-minded, and just a little pitiful. The holidays only makes it worse, and if you’re like me, you really like to lean into sadness. Just give over to it and wallow around in it for a while until you’ve used it all up. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is exactly the thing for it.
Rebecca does so many ridiculous things in the name of her crush that you’ll feel so much better about eating that entire carton of cream cheese icing with your fingers. Don’t feel too bad about being single at the holidays, it could be worse. You could drop trow and pee all over your ex-boyfriends camping gear after having spent three days stalking him online.
