The New Girl

The New Girl 

The article written by Landon Gilbert 

So there is this new show that I started watching on tvbydirect.com. It has one of my favorite actors in it, Zooey Deschanel. I think she is just the bee’s knees. She always plays parts that are a bit quirky which is, I think, a bit like she probably is in real life. The part that she plays in The New Girl is no different. The premise of the show is that she had to move out of her old place and ended up living with three guys. She has a weird relationship with each guy in that she is not quite sure how to act around them. They are not love interests of hers but she still has a strange chemistry with at least one of the male characters on the show. The writers take us on a journey of Zooey’s character learning to live with three bachelors in an apartment that is the size of a small mansion. Unrealistic that they would be able to afford to live there in real life? Yes, of course. But isn’t that how television goes?
