About this show

New Girl features a young ensemble cast that takes a fresh look at friendship. After a bad break-up, Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) needs a new place to live. An online search leads her to a great loft…and three single guys she's never met before. Nick (Jake Johnson), law school dropout turned bartender is the most grounded...and the most jaded. Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is a hustling young professional who's pretty proud of his own abs. Winston (Lamorne Morris), is an intensely competitive former athlete who doesn't know what to do next. Rounding out the group is Jess' childhood best friend, Cece (Hannah Simone), a model with a killer deadpan. The fivesome realize they need each other more than they thought they would and end up forming a charmingly dysfunctional – or strangely functional – family.

Cover Blown

This is a true ensemble show with talent coming from all those involved. The actors really put themselves into their performances and make their characters feel real to the point where every character reminds me of someone I know. I particularly enjoy watching Jake Johnson as Nick Miller, who has grown into one of the most 3-dimensional characters I've seen on television. Another special note goes to Damon Wayans Jr. as Coach. Despite having just been re-introduced, he has fit in seamlessly with the rest of the cast.

If only each of uz could find friends so honest and accepting of our quirks and true dorkiness, we'd all be happier daily. My kids and I adore each characters quirks and the chemistry between them. It's a laugh out loud pleasure each week.

I've tried a few times to get into this show and I cannot get past season 2. The drama is so infuriating and I found Coach more obnoxious than in the premier. It seems to be more of a writing issue to me than characters or actors...
