Description
Summary:	Dominus discusses Rachel Bloom's subversive series--which just won her a Golden Globe--somehow manages to set women's uncomfortable truths to music. The series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" mixes the occasional Shakespeare reference with heart-tugging show tunes and anal-sex jokes, yet it hangs together with a distinct sensibility. Just how much of its humor reflects Bloom's own--goofy, whip smart, absurdist--became clear at the Golden Globes, where Bloom made the most of her time on the red carpet.
