Why do I feel like I’m somehow meant to feel shame for loving this show so much? I mean, it’s fucking funny, y’know? And I asked my lady-wife (bared tattoo feminist) what the Manic Pixie Dream Girl thingie was and she explained it to me and I still love it - and I kind of don’t even think she IS that much of a MPDG. She’s an idiot, but so is every other person on the show (obviously all idiotic in an endearing way). And she has all these eccentricities, but again, so do all the blokes on it - like, seriously! And I still really, really love the speech in it where she said something like “Yeah, I brake for birds and wear polka dots but that doesn’t make me any less of a tough lady than you”.
It makes me do loud shouty laughs at it in much the same way Parks and Recreation does. I dunno. Woe and feelings and thoughts.
I watch for Schmidt, who is a good performer and funny. It’s not evenly funny, but then again I don’t find Parks & Rec funny (something I’m ‘supposed’ to like).
Disagree with all characters having solid quirks. Only Schmidt and Jess have real meat to them.
Stef talks about movies and TV and websites and music and books and podcasts and radio and sometimes even places outside of her flat!
