A comedy about the sexual politics of men and women, "New Girl" features
a young ensemble cast that takes a fresh look at modern relationships.
Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) is an offbeat and "adorkable" woman in her
late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves into a
loft with three single guys. Goofy, positive, vulnerable and honest to a

she's quirky and somewhat awkward, Jess is comfortable in her own skin.
More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the
boys - especially at home. Of her three new male roommates, Nick (Jake
Johnson) is the most grounded. He had big plans for life, but somewhere
along the way, he stopped caring and became a bartender. Usually the
smartest guy in the room, he has an uncanny knack for reading people and
uses humor to deflect everyone and everything. Schmidt (Max Greenfield)
is a hustling young professional who fancies himself a modern-day
Casanova. Though his heart is usually in the right place, he's always
scheming ways to climb the social ladder and is driven by an immature
and almost obsessive urge to be on "the scene." The third roommate,
Winston (Lamorne Morris), is an intensely competitive former athlete who
has recently come to the realization that he'll never play pro. He
moves back into the loft and must figure out how to live in a world
without basketball - a world where not everything is about winning and
losing.From the first episode, I found New Girl to be my favourite new series.
The premise of the show, a girl living with 3 guys and hilarity ensues,
is not the most original, nor the most realistic. But I find the
characters to be intriguing, so that I keep wanting to return to see
what happens next.
After a few episodes, the characters become more relatable than in the pilot. Jess is totally awkward, and it seems half the time her head is in the clouds, and half the time she's the most down to earth character. Her extroverted nature becomes more manageable as the series develops, so don't let it put you off initially.
Nick is a 30-something drop out that still lives with a student mindset. He comes up with some creative ways to not spend money. He's portrayed as not living up to his potential, yet his manner draws you in, kind of like a helpless puppy that you find adorable and pitiful at the same time.
Other reviews are fairly down on Schmidt. Yes, initially, he reeks of douche bag. But he's an ex-fat-kid that now overcompensates for his lack of self esteem with douchey mannerisms. Given that, he's a fairly realistic character with a well developed history. His arrogance is always portrayed in a humorous way, and has become my favourite part of the show.
Winston had his 15 minutes of fame and now is dealing with just being a nobody in a big city again. Fair enough, token black guy.
There is a lot of awkward humour in this show - the kind of moments that make you cringe, yet you can't look away, and feel guilty about wanting to laugh. But every episode does make me laugh out loud. There's a touch of light drama, for those that just want a light hearted show that won't make you think too much.
Overall, I think this is a show about nothing. Every episode seems to be a bunch of intertwining events that happen, like in most sitcoms, but this reminds me most of Seinfeld (the ultimate show about nothing), in that there is no ultimate destination that the storyline needs to arrive at - no huge expectations or conclusions being hung on the season finale. It's just humorous interactions, some fairly plain and everyday events, and some totally wacky events. Just a bright, light hearted show,
