Enjoying the season so far. show hasn't missed a beat, at least not in any significant way.
I love Robbie. he is the best-worst. He's been an incredible 3x-a-season character. I don't want to see him be Jess's boyfriend. and this is coming from someone who watched and loved all of Traffic Light. Hope they take a left turn from that right quick.
Cece and Schmidt are working alright as a married unit. "Maybe we just go to a Norah Jones concert, stand outside and look lost." Funny line but also rings true in that it feels like they haven't returned to working individually, and they also don't totally work as a perpetual pair yet. Early in the season though.
Winston and Aly's relationship has really found a sweet spot! I'd love to see her play off the rest of the cast more, cause I think she could find a spot in the ensemble.
"Damn you raven-haired dandy-boy!" I've wanted Nick to seriously pursue writing for a while and it feels like they're already doing a good job. Plus it's making me realize more how much of Meriwether is in Nick. It's always been easy to imagine she's mostly in Jess but having Nick as a writer reminds me that she probably relates to him just as much. Simple but funny ending there too. "Schmith is a dirtbag."
Great song at the end,
Cayucas - Will "The Thrill". Think the band was also in
Drinking Buddies but iirc it was a different song. Still, Jake Johnson connection.
So I've never seen the show, but 6 seasons in, isn't she not the new girl anymore? (ooh original observation bucko)
Unless the theme is bringing in a new girl every season then ok.
She's originally the "new girl" in the lives of a bunch of guys who live in a loft apartment. it hasn't really mattered that she's not "new" for seasons and seasons. And are you suggesting that the show should've been titled like, "The Loft" or something? It'd probably communicate the appeal of the show better tbh but it's a blatantly less advertisable (word? probably not) title. "New Girl" has a hook for new viewers and anybody who gets multiple seasons in and remains unable to look past it is a lost cause, honestly
Though I guess a lot of people
still maintain that swapping Jess out for Reagan (played by Megan Fox) would be a legitimately good move for the show, despite Jess being a character with an actual story and personality and Reagan being a hot but entirely hollow object of desire. so maybe they should just go with the proposed "new girl a season" conceit.
