Discussion - We will also be adding an “honorable mention section” to the end of our discussion where we’ll highlight some of our favorite lines from the episode. Guest Stars - We’ll still continue spotlighting actors who are guest stars on the show! Rating & Favorite Characters - You’ll still get our take on each episode with a rating from each of us out of 10 and we’ll, of course, still share our favorite character of the episode. Spoiler Section - Of course we’ll still keep our spoiler section throughout Season 6 but there are some small updates there too!

This podcast covers a recap of the fifth season of New Girl. We’re your hosts, Kelly and Kritika, and we originally met through work but now we consider ourselves long distance best friends. We’ve bonded over our love of TV and brought you this podcast to recap one of our favorite shows -- New Girl. In Season 5, Jess is out of a few episodes while on a jury but otherwise finds herself supporting Cece as her maid of honor. She also rekindles a relationship with an old fling. Nick also plays a supporting character to Schmidt this season, but also finds room to grow into his potential. The season really revolves around Schmidt and Cece and their upcoming wedding but we still get a chance to meet a new character, Regan, who takes over Jess’s room when she’s at jury duty. Winston this season continues his journey as a cop but also falls in love with his partner, Aly. In this recap of Season 5, we break down the themes of each loft mate. Jess - We explore Jess’s absence, how she supported her friends, and her career, as well as how she revisited old relationships. Nick - We discuss how Nick embraced his potential this season and continued being a supportive friend. Winston - We examine Winston’s growth in his friendship with Cece and with everyone else in the loft. We also discussed his journey to Aly. Schmidt - We review Schmidt’s wedding planning throughout the season and how he has grown as a person and even reconnected with his dad. Cece - We take a look at Cece’s growing friendship with the loft and the hurdles she had to overcome in getting married to Schmidt finally. Additionally, we discuss our favorite scenes and quotes, “Schmidtisms”, pop culture references, and guest stars we had previously featured on the podcast. We also answered questions from you - our listeners! This season as a whole got a 8.5/10 rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Winston and a 7.5/10 from Kelly whose favorite character was Nick.
