New Girl’s title and its theme song tell us what this show is about: the latest addition to a loft of big personalities, Jessica Day. After a major breakup, Jess explores a new chapter of her life: one that centers friendship and fulfillment. But while the show started out following Jess’ journey, as it continued, the focus changed. Her roommates became more dimensional, with great development and comedic timing. Meanwhile, as Zooey Deschanel’s hipster schtick faded in cultural relevance, Jess’ cutesy, quirky "thing" started to feel a little played out. The longer she relied on this gimmick, the harder it became to ignore the truth of her character: for someone who falls while standing still, Jess has her life deceivingly together. Here’s our Take on why Jess isn’t the protagonist of New Girl, what made her too unlikable to lead for some audiences, and how her supporting role in the series actually led to a show -- with ample screen time for other characters who ended up being more interesting.
