I've been a fan of Rachel Bloom's singing and writing ever since her video "F*ck me, Ray Bradbury" popped up on YouTube. Her videos have never let being "offensive" stand in the way of comedy and pokes fun at today's "PC-climate".

I came into this show worried that her writing would've been toned down to suit broadcast TV rather than cable or on-line services. Musical comedy, especially non-PC, written by a YouTube star might not translate to the TV screen and isn't exactly mainstream to begin with.

Halfway through the first episode all my doubts had vanished. It's funny, clever, satirical and different. It's less like "The Big Bang Theory" and more like "South Park".
