I didn't watch New Girl when it originally aired on FOX, but began watching during the pandemic. Once I began watching, I could not stop. I love all of the characters, the stories, the portrayal of friendship and the laugh out loud hijinks. The way the guys, Coach, Nick and Schmidt, care for Jess in the beginning episodes is representative of the way they all care for each other throughout the series. I thought Nick and Jess had a real connection (oomph, as it would later be described) from the beginning and their story was so exciting to watch. It was heartbreaking to see them breakup - but to see how much they still loved each other in everything they said and did in Season 4,5 and 6, it was easy to tell they would end up together. It was surprising to see how much Schmidt matured during the show. He started out as a real 'douchbag' and as his love for CeCe deepened, so did his level of maturity. I have watched the series 4 times now. I will admit on my 3rd and 4th time through, I skip through a lot of season 4, 5 and 6. I did not think these seasons had the same flavor as the first 3 seasons. I did not enjoy the story line with Reagan and Nick. Reagan always seemed very aloof and stoic. I also did not like Jess and Robby together. I think the Reagan/Nick story could have ended sooner, allowing Jess and Nick to reunite sooner. It would have been nice to see more of the 'future family' in an episode or two.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable show with fun, quirky, relatable characters. I'd love to be a roommate with in 4D.
