Summary:
"Created and helmed by female showrunners, featuring a diverse cast, and exploring mental health, gender and sexual identities, as well as media's influence on how we understand ourselves, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is a prime example of quality post-network television. The essays in this collection situate the show within the current television market, explore its genre-bending musical numbers as self-reflexive parodies, and argue for the show's groundbreaking treatments of mental health and sexual and gender identities"-- Provided by publisher.
