In a not so distant past that seems oh so distant, Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna were set to do a dark rom com musical series over at Showtime. 

A network change to CW and a handful of award wins later, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has redefined what a musical can be, what a romantic comedy can be, what a female led series can be, what the CW’s branding for comedy could be, and how to talk about a plethora of sensitive, timely topics in a nuanced and informed way AND still be funny and very clever while doing so. 

For all what it has acheived, it might be worth your time to tune in tonight at 9PM for the fourth and final season premiere on the CW (or tomorrow on the CW app).
