New Girl: TV Show Trailer Review


At first it looked great - then at exactly 1:13 it became insincere and never recovered.

Now, I love Zooey Deschanel.

And, I know it's supposed to look awkward, but the whole thing is forced. The glasses she's wearing are unbelievable and the cryfest wasn't realistic.

In reality, from what I saw in the trailer, the breakup was ordinary and so was the recovery. The producers probably insisted everything stayed fairly normal so that the situation would be relatable… but now the show is being billed as something it's clearly not.

Also, the asian guy isn't hot enough to go on a date with Zooey... and then not even call her to cancel the date. Maybe he is in the show - but it doesn't work in the trailer. There is no reason to explain why she would even care about him. If he was a rebound then that's all he is - it's no reason to flip out - and there's certainly no reason for all three guys to show up for her at the restaurant.

I hope there's more to the show than that, but the trailer leaves me feeling hollow inside. It's a solid fail for insincere acting and misrepresentation on the part of the titles.
