      • Aug 30, 2023
        Funny and awesome! Great show for the evenings off and to relax. Great storylines and character build-up.
      • Aug 23, 2023
        Favorite show ever!!! The jokes are so natural and unexpected that you'll be laughing minutes after the joke has passed It's so modern as well and idk I just love everything about it Seasons 1-3 of New Girl were amazing but personally wasn't a big fan after season 4.
      • Jun 22, 2023
        Lead actress annoys the f*** outta me. That's the reason I gave up the series on episode 3.
      • Jun 20, 2023
        I like Zooey Deschanel but this show didn't hold my attention. I gave up after several episodes. Another reviewer called it awfully cutsie. I agree. It never felt natural to me, just actors acting. Later seasons got tremendous reviews so maybe I gave up too soon
      • Dec 04, 2022
        i didnt expect to like this show but nick miller schmidt and winston are absolutely amazing. i cannot understate how amazing and well acted their characters are. just perfect comedy. jess is a solid character as well and plays her role in the show well but the three guys are truly make the show hilarious
      • Nov 03, 2022
        I can't recommend New Girl enough. Loved every episode and gutted when it ended.
      • Oct 12, 2022
        One of the most criminally underrated shows of all time. There isn't a bad character, or a bad episode, in the whole series. I would strongly recommend this to anyone with a sense of humor & a desire to laugh...a lot.
      • Sep 16, 2022
        90/100 - Really good tv show. Worth the watch. Cute, funny, quirky. Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfields performances carry the show. Great characters.
