I discovered this a month or two ago -love it! The premise is an over-achieving but v insecure, Harvard -educated ball busting lawyer decides one day she is unhappy with her six figure New York job and will only find happiness by moving to West Covina, California & taking up with a former teen flame, who sells skateboards (or something) for a living.
Each episode is interspersed with wacky musical theatre routines - great script, cast, & acting.
So to start the ball rolling, fans, what's your favourite musical routine from Series 1? ( The only one I've seen -I am pacing myself). Mine is:
(I JUST GAVE YOU) A UTI - sung by the incomparable Santino Fontana.

I love it! The yoga song is my favourite

I actually grew up near West Covina, so I know how "meh" it is. That's part of the joke.

Gotta say I watched the first episode I wasn't that impressed Sad

Love it! Watching the first ep of the second series literally right now. Can't remember specific songs in the first series as I watched it a while ago but it's a really clever funny programme that's about so much more than it seems on the surface.

I love it too! It's the best show I've seen in ages. I like the 'put yourself first but in a sexy way' song and agree the guy who plays Greg is amazing in it - I love 'settle for me' with the fred&ginger routine too.

Just finished watching Episode 2 of second series, the one where she attempts to play ping pong.
In Episode 1, there was a very good song set in the desert, about surviving emotionally on tiny bits of affection.
I have not had a relationship like that in years, but I have had in the past. So I can defo relate.
I think nice but dim Josh realises that he is just a character in the romantic fantasy Rebecca has created -Valencia did this, too- and he doesn't like it much.
My partner watched with me tonight & enjoyed it - I thought the musical numbers might turn him off.

When we're together, I feel so grand! My heart goes tippity tap tap when I hold your hand

Massive fan. Watched it twice through and can't wait for the next episodes! I may have the soundtrack(s) too. DD wants to listen to it all but at 3, obviously no! She loves 'I have friends' though! :)

Andy thanks for the you tube link. The song I was referring to is called "Love Kernels" Last night was Greg'Drinking Song.
I will be surfing that web site.
