    Summary

    Reviewers say 'New Girl' is lauded for its quirky humor, distinctive character dynamics, and the strong chemistry among the cast, especially Schmidt and Nick. Zooey Deschanel's performance as Jess garners positive attention, though her character elicits mixed reactions. Some find the humor inconsistent and the show's reliance on Jess is seen as problematic. Despite these flaws, many appreciate its exploration of friendships, relationships, and its capacity to deliver both laughter and emotional depth.

    Genuine Comedy from a US TV Show

    New Girl is received a whole lot better than a lot of other US TV shows due to the lack of a laugh track. You're not directed as to when you should find something funny, it is just an easy watch to enjoy throughout. The quality fluctuates across the series but overall it ticks all the boxes for a sitcom, and Winston will easily become your favourite character by the end.

    Surprisingly Solid

    Watched during pandemic lockdown, and have to give credit where it's due! Didnt anticipate it to be so good. And though I wanted to binge this, I watched over a few weeks and it really was awesome. Bummed I dont have any more to watch! Probably going to join the select few I have in rotation for rewatching. Give it a shot

    Complete and utter goofballs together in an apartment are somehow quite heartwarming and funny.

    Season One: 8/10

    Season Seven: 8/10

    Themes: Comedy, Roommates, Friendship & Relationships.

    Review: You simply cannot go wrong with a sitcom about a group of friends, and this one hit the nail on the head. I loved seeing these goofballs form friendships and relationships with each other, and I adored the dynamics between all the different personalities. Schmidt and Nick will always be the absolute funniest to me but in such completely opposite ways, Jess and all her quicks are so unique and loveable, Cece is such a bad b*tch who will never not be absolutely iconic, and Winston is just so odd but I love him too.

    Top five characters: 1) Schmidt, 2) Nick Miller, 3) Cece Parekh, 4) Jessica Day and 5) Winston Bishop.

    Standards dropped

    Loved this show. Laugh out loud funny for a number of series and then at the end of s5 to the start of s6 it started to become a lot more cliche and lot less funny. I persevered and I'm glad I did just to see it through but it is almost like Liz Merriweather realised at the end of s6 that the show was just treading water with no real purpose so they bashed out s7 to put it all to bed. It comes off rushed and again a shade cliche. I just wished they had progressed the main themes a bit quicker or at least consistently to avoid this stagnation then rush rush rush end. Would still recommend it, some of the most loveable/hilarious characters and I did on occasion lose a manly tear. Also I much preferred the original titles.

    Finally a Series with some intelligent jokes

    Now most of todays TV-shows are sitcoms, where the jokes 99 of a 100 times are cheap, cheap as ****.

    The show is about 3 guys who let a girl move in and live them, which probably warns a lot of people that i think would like this show to not see this show.

    But what it is about and what they do is far from anything important in a Comedy TV-Series.

    The bottom line is, that this show has intelligent humor and another important ingredient is that the creators are spot on which characters that should have the most airtime.

      In the first season, Zooey Deschanel (Jess) and Jake Johnson (Nick) were directed to have as little physical contact as possible. This is because their chemistry was thought to be too distracting.
