Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (2012)

I finally binged on this show, watching both seasons in two days. It is hilarious, brilliantly written, and superbly acted! Chloe is evil -- she will scam, con, or outright lie and steal anything she wants, whether to have it for herself (for however briefly), to make a point, or just to mess with someone. She exudes sex, confidence, and unmitigated gall, as these are her stocks in trade. She takes in June, a fresh-faced Indiana transplant to New York City, as yet another one of her scams, but over time they strike an uneasy alliance, as a bit of June's midwestern authenticity rubs off on Chloe, and more than a bit of Chloe's chutzpah rubs off on June. James Van der Beek plays himself as their D-list best friend, and Dean Cain plays himself as his occasional foil. Every character in this ensemble cast rocks their role -- especially the girls' stalkerish neighbors on either side, and JVDB's effusive personal assistant. I only give 5 stars to TV shows I positively love and could watch over and over; Don't Trust the B---- is one of them! It is wilder and funnier than Better Off Ted. It should have been renewed, at the expense of 2 Broke Girls. Enjoy! 5 stars. (10-2-2017)
