Rachel Bloom's and Aline Brosh McKenna's tale of a girl who's just in love is a fast-paced, hilarious show with catchy tunes and captivating performances, executed with a junior high budget, apparently. One of the most honest portrayals of mental health issues I have ever seen, this is one of my go-to recommendations.

What was once my attempt to claim an Academy Award for Best Picture as my favorite movie became my actual favorite movie. Zeta-Jones, Zellweger, Gere, Latifah and Baranski (through less screentime, granted, but still my favorite) pull out all the stops.

Rapid-fire dialogue, three-dimensional characters, immersive scenarios, period costumes and hairdo, an outstanding cast (Brosnahan, Borstein, Shalhoub, Hinkle)... indeed, Marvelous
