According to Rachel Bloom's Instagram (such is the world we live in) they've been renewed for Season 3. Yay!

Hey it's back! In fact I missed the first ep Friday but I'm watching it now.

Yes! This show just took the piss out of my least-favourite trope: when a man buys sexy clothes for a woman and they fit perfectly. Seen in everything from Gilmore Girls to the Handmaid's Tale. Thank you, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

This has become really really bad, right? There are no jokes any more ;_;

uh...

no
but i guess there are always BIG BANG THEORY reruns on if you're that unhappy
― maura, Friday, 15 December 2017 01:01 (six years ago) link
I don't think it's bad but it's kind of in a weird place after the "I Never Want to See Josh Again" ep. Dealing with some of the mental illness-related stuff that's been an undercurrent in the show is maybe making it less consistently funny but I'm hoping it resets a little after the break.
― The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 15 December 2017 03:41 (six years ago) link
I... don't like big bang theory? I'm 1-2 eps behind on CEG but the last one had Valencia on social media as a subplot.

which wouldn't have seemed out of place on BBT
― kinder, Friday, 15 December 2017 08:43 (six years ago) link
I still love this show. Nathaniel's songs have been uniformly fantastic; he is an excellent addition to the cast. White Josh is always great. And when Trent reappeared and did his own BLAM!, I laughed a lot.

I admit I tried to get back into this but I really hated the big number that opened this season so I stopped there. I should give it a shot again huh

I've had problems with my mental health for a long time (not BPD though) and I've got to say that this show deals with these issues better than any other comedy I've seen
― paolo, Sunday, 11 February 2018 10:47 (six years ago) link
Catching up on S3 at the moment - it's definitely less funny, but it couldn't have gone on eliding* Rebecca's mental illness and the damage / displacement that Paula's doing to her own life much longer. Hopefully it can come out of treatment-related or life-evaluating plots for various characters and find new paths for them, but being so desperately marginal a show must make it hard to invest in long-term plotting.*or: not that the creators or the text did, but that the audience was asked to accept the tension and stay invested with the protagonists for the sake of laughs and songs, while that tension kept building. Valencia going from being the only person who saw Rebecca for what she was, to an accepting friend & also an actual nicer person, is the biggest fumble / "oh just go with it, it's a sitcom" that they've pulled
― Haribo Hancock (sic), Sunday, 11 February 2018 11:12 (six years ago) link
It is one of the struggles that I've always had with the show, its juxtaposition of pretty horrible behaviour with humour and whimsy. That's a combination that can curdle in the wrong hands (see Three Billboards, for example), but I think Crazy Ex-Girlfriend just about walks the right line. I partly think this because the show often does address things when they come to a head, and I partly think it because if one of those male anti-heroes from one of those prestige AMC shows was doing this stuff and ruining the lives of everyone around him, everyone would think he was dark and fascinating.

Yes, I miss Valencia as a worthy antagonist. She has been defanged to the character's detriment.

i suspect things will twist further with her next week.

Idk about this third season…
― treeship., Monday, 26 July 2021 02:29 (two years ago) link
I’ll see where it goes. I loved seasons 1 and 2. And I understand they need to grapple with the fact that some of the stuff Rebecca’s been doing has been extremely destructive, you know, not cute.
