Perfectly Nicole



Last month a terrific comedy started on MTV, though the press has said too little about it. As with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you have a loveable woman operating in her own world, though instead of living in a hole in the ground like Kimmy, Nichole lives in a bubble of her own making where wigs are required, work is optional, and boyfriends are abundant.

The series is call Loosely Exactly Nicole and stars Nicole Byer as the lead and Jacob Wysocki as Devin, her enabling roommate.  The two reside in Hollywood where they are still too self-involved to know they are in a wasteland of broken dreams.  Nicole still attends auditions between babysitting marketing various drugs knowing she will be found someday.

Devin also has his own wacky story-line as a gay man trying to find his romantic partner, or at least an interested evening.  He is fun to watch as he tries to educate those around him about gay culture and fashion on a $2 budget.

This duo creates plenty of adventures, only slightly tempered by Nicole's more grounded friend Veronica (played bJen D'Angelo).  

It's a nice break from more predictable comedies, and adult in nature (so hide the kids).

Give Nichole a try.
