Zoe Dechanel is returning to the silver screen with new girl. I first saw her in weeds and have liked her since, I don’t think it’s totally down to her cuteness – but it might be the majority shareholder. New girl is created and written by Elizabeth Meriwether whom also wrote No Strings Attached, oh which i wasn’t a huge fan but only cos that story has been done too much recently.
Jess (Zooey Deschanel) has just found her boyfriend with another woman and so is looking for a new apartment. She moves in with three men – Schmidt (Max Greenfield) a guy that tries to act cool for his work mates and thinks he is a ladies man, he is douchebag and is rather annoying. Nick (Jake M. Johnson) a sensitive guy that has just gone through his own breakup and is starting to fall for Jess. And Winston (Lamorne Morris) aka coach, who is the sports guy with no understanding of girls emotions usually resorting to shouting to communicate. The premise is believable as are the characters, although Schmidt is a douche, and the setup of guys learning how to be better from a female friend is still quite fresh. Although the laughs are not huge I think it has enough to draw people in, the chemistry between the characters is good the emotion feels real and will only get better as the series goes. Definitely one to watch. But Schmidt is still a douche.
