New Girl

I really enjoy this show so far, only 3 episodes in, I can't believe the bad reviews people are giving it. Jess(Zooey) is so endearing and funny, some people are saying it's same show different actors, but really what show is this like? It's similar to three's company from 30 years ago. I really hope this show makes it, Zooey Deschanel is perfect for this character. This is the first review I've written, I check out a lot of shows but I really only enjoy a few and this is one. I was just appalled at what people were saying about this show. Sure I could take or leave the other guys in the show but maybe with time they will grow on you. Nick isn't so bad.

The 1 star review that shows up when I looked this up on IMDb is ridiculous! I watch quite a few shows (way too many) and this one genuinely gets a smile on my face without cheap tricks, fake laughter, annoying punchline tunes trying to convince me what just happened was funny.

The main characters in this show are already memorable in the pilot, they just have chemistry straight away. A lot of shows that I really love now didn't start off as well as 'New Girl' has for me.

The 'formula' feels fresh to me, I haven't seen this show before in another form and I absolutely love Zoey in this. Her personality in this show is exactly why I fall in love in real life. Just watched the third episode and I'll be sure to tune in next week!

Season One: 8/10

Season Seven: 8/10

Themes: Comedy, Roommates, Friendship & Relationships.

Review: You simply cannot go wrong with a sitcom about a group of friends, and this one hit the nail on the head. I loved seeing these goofballs form friendships and relationships with each other, and I adored the dynamics between all the different personalities. Schmidt and Nick will always be the absolute funniest to me but in such completely opposite ways, Jess and all her quicks are so unique and loveable, Cece is such a bad b*tch who will never not be absolutely iconic, and Winston is just so odd but I love him too.

Top five characters: 1) Schmidt, 2) Nick Miller, 3) Cece Parekh, 4) Jessica Day and 5) Winston Bishop.

I can't give this show enough love. It's GENIUS! The chemistry between characters is amazing! And the character development is outstanding. In the beginning we get a more serious Winston, but as the show progresses, we see a more goofy Winston, which works. The writers really took their time to improve on each character. The only reason I didn't give it 10 stars is because of how annoying Jess gets after Season 3. I'm not sure if it was purposefully done, but some of the episodes of her acting entitled and "catty" are hard to watch. Other than that, it's the perfect show. Perfect blend of comedy and drama. I just finished watching it all the way through for my 3rd time and immediately started watching for a 4th time. It's my comfort show. I watch it at night before going to sleep and most nights fall asleep to it as background noise. Highly recommend, especially for those who were fans of How I Met Your Mother. I guarantee you will fall in love with it.

New Girl is received a whole lot better than a lot of other US TV shows due to the lack of a laugh track. You're not directed as to when you should find something funny, it is just an easy watch to enjoy throughout. The quality fluctuates across the series but overall it ticks all the boxes for a sitcom, and Winston will easily become your favourite character by the end.
