Last week "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" finally returned with new episodes and here are some spoilers for the second half of the season.
According to an interview with co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna viewers can expect more rap music this season, a big moment for Darrell (Rebecca's boss), Rebecca sends a very important text to the wrong person and we will also get to see Greg (Santino Fontana) and Paula sing more.
Though the show hasn't been a ratings hit since premiering last October it's recent hot streak of awards for its star Bloom- she won both the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for Best Actress- could change that. The series has averaged a little over a million viewers a week and has not been renewed for a second season yet though it will be airing all 18 episodes of its first season. Bloom revealed at the Golden Globes that Broadway vet Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon) will guest-star on the season finale. Salonga confirmed the guest appearance on Jan. 10. She tweeted: "I guess the news is out!!! I'll be appearing on the season finale of @CW_CrazyXGF! And singing, too! How fun is that?!"
Marc Silver of The Washington Post wrote, "In a few short weeks, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" has gone from that strange musical comedy show with the possibly offensive title that no one watches (1.07 million a week, which in the world of network TV is pretty paltry) to the award-winning, innovative TV program whose co-creator and star Rachel Bloom has just received a Golden Globe (she licked it and said "It tastes like winning and power. And the Illuminati.") and Critics' Choice award for her performance, and is the subject of a laudatory New York Times profile."
If you just read the outline of the plot it does sound a little silly. Rebecca Bunch (Bloom) leaves her lucrative but depressing corporate law job in New York City to move out to California after running into her ex-boyfriend, Josh, from camp. She follows him back to his hometown of West Covina where she soon finds out he has a girlfriend but in the meantime she starts work a a wacky, laid-back law firm and strikes up a friendship with a coworker and Josh's friend Greg Santino Fontana (Frozen, Broadway's Cinderella). However, the show is really a tour de force of feminism and musical theater (which turns out to be an unstoppable combination) as Bloom has figured out how to find the joy in romantic misery and the utter conundrum of being a single woman in the year 2016.
On this week's episode Rebecca and Josh return to the camp they met at. Watch the preview below.
