her show literally ruined tv for me. the development for each character is better than any show i’ve seen. the lyrics and writing is clever and i can’t stop watching the show. i never rewatch shows but this is the exception. i was doubtful at first but it really is the best show
Marie Blarfingar legit tho. The character development for even minor characters is amazing and gradual as well. So much attention to detail throughout!!
i just finished the series, because i was lowkey in denial it had ended, & season four might be the best final season of any show i’ve seen. my goodness
After watching cxg, I watched '4 weddings and a funeral' hulu TV show written by mindy kaling ..... And I was like this is bad and toxic .... Nope done with this romcom crap .......
I didn't cry but thought using BPD was Kinda hit or miss because there are like 4 main types of BPD. Having been diagnosed with Borderline a long long time ago I don't think it was depicted that great. The movie girl interrupted does an amazing depiction about living with BPD.
@@M1sterBruh Yes there are 4 main subtypes, I have BPD and also went to University for psychology. Every one knows wikipedia's not a citable source. Feel free to read up on the medical journals and many scholarly articles about BPD from when it was first recognized as a condition up until now, and keep studying as new information is available.
@@briannalee1998 I can't comment on Barry or Better Call Saul as I've never seen them, but I can subjectively say Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is much better than The Good Place. Don't get me wrong, I was obsessed with both shows, but CEG just has way more depth, better story continuity, and more relatable characters. The Good Place season 1 was great, very creative and intriguing. Season 2 was pretty good, not as good as season 1. Season 3 was all over the place - there, I said it. The show claims to be edifying, but only turns out to have a superficial layer of morals. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, on the other hand, started off bumpy and cringey, then moved on to being the most relatable and hilarious show, that can still perfectly execute the underlying message and themes regarding sexuality, love and mental illness (along with the ingeniously written songs).
I just found this show on Netflix this week. I’ve never seen a show like it and I can’t get enough. All of the characters are really relatable in a weird way.
I really liked that bit at the end, "the chorus is like the thesis statement" and the other bits. I'm not a songwriter but I'd love to read a book where Rachel Bloom talks more about writing songs.
I know this comment is over a year old, but wanted to chime in: for the first season of the aforementioned show, Rachel and other songwriters recorded a commentated version of the soundtrack [you can find it on spotify] if you want a song by song process breakdown :)
I just found out (after watching the entire 4 seasons) that she co-created the show. The entire time I was like “wow casting is amazing, they really hit the jackpot when they cast her” 🤦🏻♀️ such a great show!
That bit where she talks about writing songs, and the chorus being a thesis statement and whatnot, I really love that. As an aspiring musical playwright, that was a really neat way of looking at it.
Rachel is my hero! The show is so good, I'm so so so thankful I "gave it a chance" two years ago. Everyone on the show is wonderful, but Rachel, what an inspiration...
unicorn puppy same! I watched one episode and found it ridiculous, so I stopped watching it. Few weeks later I was intrigued for some reason to give it another chance and actually really enjoyed it and binged the rest on netflix haha
I rewatch the show like once a year. As someone who was officially diagnosed with BPD along with other stuff, this show means so much to me. Rachel Bloom and the creative team were amazing. Also, heavy boobs is one of my most shared songs.
"Songs are like musical essays, you have your thesis statement in the form of the chorus and supporting ideas in the form of the other verses and the bridge." I think that is a great way to think of songs in musicals.
As a dude that hates musicals all all kinds of dancing and singing - take it from me.. do not pass up on this TV show. it is too good. it is funny and it is binge-worthy.
I've actually been really nervous about the show potentially not getting renewed, but I have a better feeling about it considering what the CW president said last year when renewing the show (and Jane the Virgin). It was mainly about how it's not all about the ratings and when you have high quality programming, that's more important.
Bless the CW, I don't understand how this show isn't more popular, it is an incredible show (may be my favorite of all times) and deserves a lot of seasons
Yeah apparently its only meant to have 4 seasons so I hope she gets it to finish the story! The ratings are worrying but Cw seem to be quite a good network so heres hoping!
She worked as an intern for Seth Meyers when he was head writer for SNL. Surprisingly, she didn’t get a spot when she auditioned! Rachel is soooo AMAZING and could have given those ladies a run for their money!
Her comparing a song to a thesis essay made me look at music in a whole new way. So, I think I'm going to stare at a wall for the next few hours in order to break down all of my favorite songs.
Crazy ex girlfriend is genius I highly recommend the show. Really poignant and really funny, the best portrayal of borderline personality disorder I have ever seen on tv. I normally hate musicals, but in this case it works producing classics like Love Kernels and so many more. Loving Rachel Bloom’s work she is so incredibly talented, intelligent and hilarious.
I said once Hamilton has the greatest songs and nothing can get over it until I saw Crazy ex-girlfriend and I must say Rachel Bloom and the other songwriters have made the best thing possible in terms of "sing what you feel" and also the further you get in the show the funnier the songs actually are. 1. Crazy Ex-girlfriend 2. Hamilton p.s. I know they're both in different directions. Crazy Ex-girlfriend deserves at least a spin-off.
H Blue Mole or a nathanial spin-off even since he struggles with MH too (only briefly covered in the show though) would be a good but different perspective
Her show is amazing and its so real the way it deals with real life issues but in a comedic way. I just got into the show this week and i have no regret. The songs are so brilliant too i hope they get better ratings they deserve it!
I'm seriously so happy I watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I avoided it for years because of the title and I don't like romcoms but I decided to give it a chance and OMG it is hands down the best show I've ever watched. Best show in existence maybe
It's on Netflix (if you're outside the US, new episodes go up a few hours after they air on the CW), and it's fantastic. One of my favourite shows in recent years.
The first episode is like super cringey and it’s sorta a slow burn for a first episode but after episode two it’s SO insane you’re invested in her craziness. You caught wanting the train to wreck but also wanting her to succeed in her wild plans. It’s very good and worth it. Even just the song creativity is worth watching the whole show.
I'm just after watching S3 E6 where Rebecca finally gets her diagnosis and has her attempt and I cried so hard as parts of that has triggered me. It's the first time that my opinion of the show went from just a parody rom-com musical to a more deep rooted and bringing up multiple mental health issues and awareness of personality disorder(s).
I watched this show innnn I wanna say year eight I think cause that’s like a really emotional part of my life idk meh! But the point is damn the way this show destroyed me and built me up again I never become so attached to a show like that before and since
her show is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY underrated
DEFINITELY
I agree. With every season it just gets better and better! It's like you grow and mature together with the show.
YAAASSSSS
Facts gurl, facts
Your so correct that the word correct is jealous.

Yesss! I have rewatched the show 5 times already and I continue to play it in the background when I do my chores. Sooo good!

Two real similar ones imo are The Good Place and Schitt’s Creek, I highly suggest them.
She's a legend. I miss crazy ex girlfriend so bad.
Same. I’m so broken inside now that it’s over
@@monohina1997 The situation is a lot more nuanced than that
Nobody OKAY we get it.
@@monohina1997 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!
Rewatch it! I'm on my 7th rewatch! I don't give myself time to miss it anymore haha
I cried when her character was diagnosed with Borderline PD. I’d never seen a show deal with the illness i have. Thank you ! ❤️
Dr Woo omg same. I rarely cry let alone sob but I had mascara ALL OVER MY FACE
Yaii! Always know youre not alone! we are all over the world
I didn't cry but thought using BPD was Kinda hit or miss because there are like 4 main types of BPD. Having been diagnosed with Borderline a long long time ago I don't think it was depicted that great. The movie girl interrupted does an amazing depiction about living with BPD.

It's THE BEST comedy on tv right now. Not exaggerating.

@@fromis.9 Watched a few episodes of it, got bored out of my mind.
@@bestusernameever6518 yeah the first few wasn't as good, but it keeps getting better every after

Right? It's so lovely and unique!
You can tell she’s such a theatre kid by the way she unprompted stands up to do choreography
It's so sad that this show is so low in ratings. It's truly an excellent show.

@@km90210snapcracklepop that's such a good album, it's on Apple music too. A bit sad now that Schlesinger has passed away though
She released a book by now
I do write songs, and I also love the way she describes them. I've never heard it described that way before.
I just found out (after watching the entire 4 seasons) that she co-created the show. The entire time I was like “wow casting is amazing, they really hit the jackpot when they cast her” 🤦🏻♀️ such a great show!
Created, wrote music for, writes, acts, dances - she’s incredible
That bit where she talks about writing songs, and the chorus being a thesis statement and whatnot, I really love that. As an aspiring musical playwright, that was a really neat way of looking at it.
Rachel and her show are on a whole other level. Kudos to her and her writers.
“lets rock the
boat!”

Jesus Christ she is just SO delightful. She’s hilarious and her dissection of music as an art form to deliver ideas is spot on
I'm not a fan of Dr. Phil by any means, but Rachel's impression of him was so funny. And honestly, so much funnier than he was in the show.
Crazy ex girlfriend is the most underrated thing I’ve ever seen in my life
Using very old sitcom methods it was one of the most unique and creative shows ever aired. Incredible amount of talent and she's just brilliant.
I rewatch the show like once a year. As someone who was officially diagnosed with BPD along with other stuff, this show means so much to me. Rachel Bloom and the creative team were amazing. Also, heavy boobs is one of my most shared songs.

She's such an amazing speaker. I love listening to her.
Rachel saved fiction.
y’all don’t understand how sad i was when this show ended
It’s one of the most underrated shows ever, I’m so sad so many people don’t watch it
Y’all I was going through a rough breakup and watched that episode with Dr Phil. It legitimately made me bawl my eyes out cuz it was just so real.
Keep it up Rachel! Love your show and I hope it gets a season 4

They're gonna have just four season because of the story arc.

This show is real af and I listen to their songs in difficult times, because it's great comedy but also really inspirational.
She’s so musical theatre it’s amazing!!!!
Her comparing a song to a thesis essay made me look at music in a whole new way. So, I think I'm going to stare at a wall for the next few hours in order to break down all of my favorite songs.
The song with Josh Groban is my favourite song from the series, and there have been a lot of great songs.
That wind song was like eating icecream as you orgasm.

Don't forget, "Period Sex."
I think she is too stable for borderline.borderline are so angry.

1. Crazy Ex-girlfriend
2. Hamilton
p.s. I know they're both in different directions. Crazy Ex-girlfriend deserves at least a spin-off.
I'd watch a White Josh spin off anytime
H Blue Mole or a nathanial spin-off even since he struggles with MH too (only briefly covered in the show though) would be a good but different perspective
I want a Trent spin off 😂
I agree
She's literally the best person in America! Rachel Bloom for President!
She should plan a coup with Gabrielle and Vella. They should for a squad and have squad goals.
SQUAD GOALS stay together forever
Despair Spreads Like a Virus what about Paula 😭
The Dr. Phil quote is a perfect description of Rebecca's character -- it predicts the entire arc of the show.
"Songs are musical essays." Wow, way to ruin music, nerd! Just kidding. I love Rachel Bloom
I just rewatched the Dr Phil episode and it’s SO FUNNY. Knowing that he totally improved makes it so much better
Her show is amazing and its so real the way it deals with real life issues but in a comedic way. I just got into the show this week and i have no regret. The songs are so brilliant too i hope they get better ratings they deserve it!

That analogy [is that right? Ha] she uses for songs is really great
:)
One of the best shows out there and Rachel is seriously a genius!!!
Crazy ex-girlfriend is my favorite comedy show ever! I love it so so much and i love Rachel Bloom!
"Boat themed parody of The Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Apt, because Dr. Phil's credentials are a figment of HIS imagination.
Applause for you!
Got damn!
Ms. Bloom, literally the best description of musical comedy. Thanks for bringing it into the world.
Season 2 is so amazing !!! This show is what tv has been missing. She is a genius : )
I literally had to stop the last episode halfway through and finish it the next day because I truly didn’t want it to end 😭
Such an underrated show. I love it ❤️She so talented.
When I am sad and broken I watched crazy ex girl friend this show really gives me hope and smile
I love Rachel, she's amazing, smart, and so pretty. Waiting for the four season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!
Rachel Bloom is bae.
I love her, she's amazing
I LOVE RACHEL BLOOM. BEST COMEDY IVE SEEN IN SOOOOO LONG!
She's hilarious.
She has an amazing personality :) I love how she doesn't make fun of mental health issues, like some other shows.
I just love the show, love how real it is. I love it so much
She was great on Cracked
I couldn’t have survived without humor and songs. Those have saved the day
Wow, she’s like a sane version of Rebecca. It’s scary.
😂😂
she is such an amazing interview.
What xD
Wowowow I tried to watch the show back when it first started and my friend more recently pushed me to finish it and I’m gonna miss this show geez
Huge fan of the show. Started watching after release from psych hospital. Accurate in hilarious ways
3:57 The Best part of this video-

Love love love her show and love seeing Seth gush over it, too. The other clip where she dishes the backstage dirt on him is even funnier, tho.
She’s so great.
Interesting... I came here right after I heard that she was gonna play somepony in MLP to hear her voice
This lady is really intelligent and talented
Yay I can watch this while I wait for the next episode. :) There was none last Friday. :(
