Is it actually any surprise that a show named Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is occasionally full of crap, though?

Just the title/general premise is a major turn off for me.

Considering that the title is usually the worst thing about the show? Yeah, it is kinda a surprise. It's a pretty decent show that deconstructs the trope of the "crazy ex-girlfriend", has great depictions of female friendship and mental illness, and actually had an abortion subplot where the abortion was treated as a reasonable and responsible and normal decision, among other things.

Even this was more of a stumble than a major misstep.

Plus, the title of the show is usually determined by the network, which is why some actually pretty good shows (Selfie, apparently Cougar Town but I've never watched it, Don't Trust the B-- In Apartment 23) have horrible titles.
