Review of New Girl

New Girl (2011–2018)
7/10
It was a good show

Warning: Spoilers
The first few seasons of New Girl were great! The writing was funny, quirky and the cast was weird in a good way. Everyone was a perfect mess.

Fortunately and unfortunately Zooey was the center of the show. The show fizzled once Zooey left for several episodes and was unable to recover its magic once she returned. The writers had to pivot for a while by bringing in a barrage of special guests to fill in during her absence and the story changed to accommodate these new changes. It became a different show. By the time Zooey returned the show had fizzled and was unable to get the magic back.

The wheels completely fell off in the last season. Everyone was domesticated and they even threw in a kid. The kid bit didn't work. I recommend only watching seasons 1 - 5.
