 The last season's thread was archived before there was any discussion of a thread for the new season. I looked around and couldn't find a thread for the latest season but if I'm really dumb (which I am) and missed it just let me know and I'll close this one. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a musical comedy created by Aline Brosh and Rachel Bloom, it's also very best show that absolutely no one is watching. Breaking with the grand tradition of amazing shows that don't get watched it has actually been renewed for a third season which premiered last night at 8/7c on The CW. For current viewers The primary theme and set-up of season three is that Rebecca will become a classic crazy ex-girlfriend out for revenge on the men who wronged her. Obviously she's always been a crazy ex-girlfriend but the newest season is doing it in a much more direct manner than we've seen before. Instead of only the viewer and some of her friends being aware of Rebecca's plans and motivations now the whole cast will be aware of what happened between her and Josh. I'm really excited to see how the season handles the "generic" ex-girlfriend trope and I really think they'll do some amazing things with it. I'll add much more to the OP after work tonight, I just couldn't believe we still didn't have a thread for one of the best shows currently airing! . I'll add a run down of the main characters and where they are both narratively and thematically in the story after the events of the first two seasons like I did for the season two OP. For now though I really want to hear what everyone else thought of the season premier and the latest songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lo5pqaOjNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwZyO2XHS50 For new viewers I know you're already rolling your eyes thinking "A musical comedy doesn't sound like an amazing show.". I was a skeptic too but the following two songs convinced me to give it a go because they were catchy as hell and also extremely funny. I'm glad they did convince me because I ended up watching an incredibly funny show that deals with human problems in a very real way. A show where things aren't simply fixed at the end of an episode or with a moving speech. Problems take time and growth to work through and the show reflects that across a number of characters. It also sets up and then subverts classic TV show clichés constantly in a really interesting way. In short it rules hard. Some posters from the last thread recommend different introductory songs and some recommend just trying the first episode rather than watching songs out of context. These two are just songs I think are great and are the ones that I saw before I had any idea what the show was about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4hh1YhDfbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIJKuxzWAGs If you're still with me and not entirely made of straw then I suppose it's time to explain what the show's about. Fortunately the opening credits from the first season (don't worry it's 30 seconds long and I'll be here to hold your hand) explains the premise quickly and funnily! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzY3EaJTuJk
