Who it's for
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starts as a satire of romantic obsession, with Rebecca Bunch moving across the country after an ex, and gradually reveals the pain beneath: loneliness, self-hatred and a pattern of making another person her whole identity.

What it is
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a musical comedy-drama created by Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna that aired on The CW from 2015 to 2019. Rebecca Bunch, a Yale- and Harvard-educated lawyer, abandons her New York City career to pursue Josh Chan, a former summer-camp boyfriend, after learning he has moved to West Covina, California. Each episode features several original songs that parody musical-theatre conventions.
