Crazy Ex Girlfriend is a musical tv show about a Jewish lawyer, Rebecca Bunch, who’s being crushed by her busy life, so she decides to move from NYC to West Covina, California on impulse after seeing her ex-boyfriend from summer camp when she was a teen. Throughout the show, Rebecca and multiple other main characters battle mental illness and address tough topics around self image, sexuality, relationships, and more.
