Welcome to the 5th S/S thread for
New Girl.
About the show:
After a bad break-up,
Jessica "Jess" Day needs a new place to live. An online search leads her to a great loft... and three single guys she's never met before. But Jess moves in, and through her upbeat personality, unique sense of self and the unlikely support of her new roommates, she learns to move on.
Nick is the most grounded of her new roommates...and also the most jaded. A law school dropout, he spends most of his time hiding his feelings under his hoodie and tending bar.
Schmidt is a hustling young professional who's pretty proud of his own abs.
Winston is an intensely competitive former athlete who doesn't know what to do next - but whatever he does, he wants to win it.
