But she has always suffered from anxiety and depression, for which she is on a plethora of pills.

User Reviews

You'd be crazy to not give this a go.

When I first started watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend it was not at all what I expected, especially when they kept breaking into song all the time. But after the 2nd episode I was completely invested and in love with this show and the characters.

Such a funny show, every episode puts a smile on my face. A Cast of great actors, all funny in their own right.

Though this show might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially due to the musical side of it. I think it is definitely worth having a go. I watch it faithfully every week and can't wait for the mid season break to be over.
