A crazy ex-girlfriend who gives up her life to move to a small town just so that she can stalk her ex because she wants to be with him forever? Yes, that's how it starts, but the series Crazy Ex Girlfriend goes much further and deals in its 4 seasons with many more serious topics packed into an entertaining show with many musical interludes. And exactly these musical numbers are probably the biggest USP of the series. The actors sing funny or more serious songs here on topics such as sex during menstruation ("Period Sex" (Season 2)), antidepressants ("Anti-Depressants Are So Not A Big Deal" (Season 4)) or the generalization of prejudices ( "Let's Generalize About Men" (Season 3)). Many of these songs are on Youtube and the like. to find and are the highlight for the fans of the series, which is whistled for breakfast coffee in the morning.

I don't want to anticipate the story of the 4 seasons, so I'm not going to go into much here. At its core the series accompanies Rebecca Bunch - the Crazy Ex - who initially wants to win over her ex, but in the course of the series realizes that she has deeper problems with which she often refuses to deal with herself. Starting from her job as a lawyer, other characters come across each with their own problems in their lives and / or in cooperation with Rebecca. Divorced marriages, non-heterosexual sexuality, fear of failure, you name it. For me, dealing with all of these problems openly is the greatest strength in the message of this series. Nobody has "no problems". But dealing with it openly clears a lot of heartache.

And also extremely funny musical numbers on topics that nobody else touches with the pliers? But hello! 8/10
