Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's second season premieres on The CW tomorrow night at 9/8c. This serves as your reminder: you need to be watching this show.

I wrote about the first season at length, and time and distance have only solidified that it's one of the most powerful pieces of fiction I absorbed this year in any format. It's funny, it's heartbreaking and utterly original, and yesterday's Glamour interview with the creator of the show, Rachel Bloom, gives a solid view into why this show works as well as it does. Bloom's suffered depression and anxiety - she dealt with it throughout the writing and production of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's first season, in fact. She talks about it with disarming frankness and no small amount of humor, and it's that wry, refreshing candor that sets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend apart, too. If you've fought with an impossible, tyrannical beast within yourself, one that doubts you, disdains you, treats your every triumph like a looming failure, if you've had anxiety about anxiety until it's consumed every moment of your day, even your sleep, you'll see some of you in Rebecca Bunch.

That all of this is true about one of the most fun and energetic shows on television is a miracle, though it also makes sense considering Bloom's own demeanor. "I’m naturally bubbly, even when I’m sad," she tells Glamour, and it's that beautiful dichotomy that gives Crazy Ex-Girlfriend its unique perspective. It's one I recognize and relate to deeply, and one that I think was missing on the pop culture scene until now.

Also: it's just a really, really good musical. If you like musicals and you're not watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, forget about all of the depression stuff and just watch it for the songs.

If you're already into Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, here's your reminder about the second season premiere, and a fun blooper reel of the first season for laughs:

If you don't already watch it, please give it a shot. The first season's streaming on the new CW app or on Netflix.
