After going through a rough breakup, awkward and upbeat Jess (Zooey Deschanel) moves in with three single guys. Intelligent and witty Nick is an underachiever who took the bartender off-ramp on his road to success. Schmidt obsesses over his social standing and looks at Jess as a personal project. Winston is a competitive former athlete who, after realizing he will never become a pro, moves into the loft. Together with Jess' best friend, Cece, they bond to form an unlikely, and dysfunctional, family.

New Girl is back to being the energetic wonder it was last year. Go to Full Review Lanford Beard Entertainment Weekly 12/25/2013
It wasn't the most polished - or even the most nuanced - New Girl episode ever. But a second viewing that made for even more laughs than the first gives me hope that this season has somewhere to go. Go to Full Review Neil Drumming Salon.com 11/06/2013
kudos to the writers of New Girl for getting Winston to a place where he makes an impact. The question now is, where does Coach fit in? Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/12/2020

Raquel E @raquelea 4d Coach’s return and a handful of stronger storylines bring back some of the show’s original charm. However, the repetitive plots and familiar style of humor remain its biggest weaknesses, making the season an improvement over the last but still unable to fully recapture its early appeal. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 23 funny Fox TV episodes. Especially the beach town episode. See more Affleberry F @JimSnow 10/12/2022 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. See more 05/24/2021 Having Coach back on the season kept it fresh as the Cece-Schmitt storyline was running it's course. Coach stands out with Nick closely behind him for best character over the season. See more 03/28/2021 This is as far as I could get with New Girl before Nick Miller became insufferable. See more 07/06/2020 In my opinion this is new girls best season. Every character has a great dynamic and the chemistry between nick and jess is amazing. See more Read all reviews
