Stop what you're doing and watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend season three on Netflix

'I was working hard at a New York job, making dough but it made me blue. One day I was crying a lot so I decided to move to West Covina, California, it happens to be where Josh lives, but that's not why I'm here... she's the crazy ex-girlfriend. She's so broken inside!'

Welcome to dreary West Covina, where the peppy, high energy, and ever crazy ex-girlfriend Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) has relocated from her glam job in New York to chase a boy she'd once dated at the age of 16. Sound crazy? Well, yes that's the point. Because she's the 'crazy ex-girlfriend'.

Rebecca is more than a little messed up. But something that begins as an outlandish personality quirk quickly turns swiftly into an exposé about serious mental health, without ever loosing it's upbeat enthusiasm for life, and magnificent musical breakouts.



The creative re-mixes of pop classics and serious social edge that Glee always promised, but never quite delivered, are in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in abundance. Songs about generalising about men, impossible to please mothers and cruel patriarchal beauty regimes are littered throughout a quick and insightful script.

Season three came out on Netflix this year. We're loathed to tell you too much about what you've missed so far. But, if you're looking for your next Netflix binge and haven't seen it yet, we seriously recommend this hilarious, poignant and sometimes troubling musical comedy by Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna.

West Covina... California.... here we come!
