'Happy Endings'
Netflix had recently gotten rid of one of my favorite shows to binge watch, which is New Girl. I enjoyed the awkward moments, the cartoon-ish characters, the humor behind each event that occurred on each episode. Since Netflix got rid of the show, I needed something else to fill that hole in my heart. Enter Happy Endings, it also used to be on Netflix, but it was a while ago. Amazon prime had then taken the show under its wing. Now, I started watching the show. In the first episode, the character Alex leaves Dave at the alter, and the first few episodes they are trying to learn how to live in harmony in their friend group. They all share the same friends, so they need to learn how to co-exist as friends without inserting their drama. Dave has trouble getting used to living with Max, the non-flamboyant gay friend who does not have a working shower. Alex's sister and her husband (who played as Coach on New Girl) are trying hard to find a couple to hang out with. Penny the girl who is a bubbly personality is trying to find the love of her life, but somehow is out of luck when it comes down to it. All of these characters are fun to watch. In the second episode Dave is trying to move on by having a one night stand, but he has trouble blowing her off, so he keeps making plans with her. Dave in my opinion is somewhat of a realistic character, because after being in a relationship with Alex for so long, he forgets how to be out there and how to "have the conversation." Meanwhile Alex needs a new roommate, and her sister Jane wants to help her out. However, Alex has been known to not make the best decisions when it comes down to making new friends, she just has a knack for making friends that are a bad influences, or are into weird stuff. Alex being the youngest sibling tends to be an artistic person who usually sees the good in people, and somehow always misses the bad. Honestly, I find her to be relatable, because of her "no worries" attitude and her carefree life. Somehow she was the bad guy in the first episode, but you learn to love the character. Alex's outfits are always really cute—hands together for the costume designer which is Keri Smith. I am always jealous of Alex's clothes. They are so everyday, but super cute.
