Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2--with SPOILERS

I wrote about Season One of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend a while back. Thankfully, I had binge-watched it a month before Season Two, so I didn't have to wait an entire summer to be reunited with Rebecca, Paula, Greg, Heather, etc. (Can you tell that I just don't like Josh?)

Season Two started out with a new theme song. Beware...it's catchy. In fact, it's playing in my head as I write this. At the end of the song, Rebecca yells "Blam!" and sticks her head through a group of hearts on paper. Then they zoom in on her grin for what feels like forever.

This season took a lot of new twists and turns, including a few game changers. (One I'm still upset about even now.) There were some fun guest appearances, such as Patti LuPone, Yael Grobglas (from Jane the Virgin), Jamie Kaler (from My Boys), and Brittany Snow (from Pitch Perfect).

If you haven't had a chance to experience the greatness of this show, both seasons are on Netflix now!

Since it was pretty short, I'm going to share my top five favorite episodes and top ten favorite songs. (Here's where the spoilers come in.)


Favorite Episodes:
1. When will Josh see how cool I am? 
Rebecca and Greg finally have some closure, but there's also some promise in it. I also like how Paula handles Rebecca's laziness with her recommendation letter. I would have done the same thing.

2. Who is Josh's soup fairy?
I love that Rebecca and Paula finally make up after they had a friendship fallout.

3. When do I get to spend time with Josh?
This is when we meet the "new guy" (Nathaniel) and also see how dedicated Rebecca is to her job.

4. Will Scarsdale like Josh's shayna punim?
There's a Bar Mitzvah. Patti LuPone is a Rabbi. Need I say more? Oh...and Tovah Feldshuh! We also see another side of the new guy.

5. Josh is the man of my dreams right?
Those devil winds...they make things we-e-e-ird. That's all I need to say, really. Well, the sexual tension in the elevator is pretty hot.

Favorite Songs:

1. "Love Kernels" because it is so true when we want something to cling to for validation of someone else's interest and affection. Also, Darryl being played by a broom!

2. "Greg's Drinking Song." So funny! "I pee my pants, my pants. I pee my pants!"

3. "The Math of Love Triangles." Such a cute song and you might even learn some geometry. I love the part about all the men being gay and getting nothing out of Rebecca singing and being cute.

4. "We Tapped that A$$." Another hilarious song. Had a feel similar to songs from "Singin' in the Rain."

5. "You Go First." In the style of a Heart song with powerful vocals from Rebecca and Paula. And it also speaks volumes about friend fights. Hard to get over our pride and just apologize!

6. "Who's the New Guy?" According to some friends, it's a meta song. It breaks the fourth wall of the show, but works those parts into the story anyway.

7. "We'll Never Have Problems Again." Great disco song, especially with Heather doing a Soul Train dance. And it makes sense too. People think that being in love erases all other problems in life.

8. "Remember that We Suffered." This song needs to be played at all Bar Mitzvah parties going forward. Only if Patti LuPone is singing it though! "I say we. You say suffered!"

9. "Santa Ana Winds." Set up like a Jersey Boys tune with this guy singing each of the five parts to the song. I love how he tries to tell bits of the story at the same time.

10. "You're My Best Friend." A cute little song about friendships that aren't so reciprocal. I love the little chair dance too. It was just very sweet and vulnerable, coming from Darryl.

Looks like I choose three out of five from this list.

There you have it. I don't know how I'll be able to wait until season three. The season finale ended on such a foreboding note.
