Winston is a competitive former athlete who, after realizing he will never become a pro, moves into the loft.

Ben Travers indieWire "New Girl" has had to balance its romantic payoffs with extending the tension, and occasionally the storytelling has suffered as a result. Nevertheless, the absolute joy and unabashed goofiness at it core always delivers. Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Emily L. Stephens AV Club It's hard for a situation comedy to change its situation... But a makeshift living situation can only stay static for so long. Now is a perfect time to strip the show's dynamics down to the studs. Rated: B+ Sep 21, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Affleberry F One of the most criminally underrated shows of all time. There isn't a bad character, or a bad episode, in the whole series. I would strongly recommend this to anyone with a sense of humor & a desire to laugh...a lot.

Awesome characters and fun stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a good season. There were some very nice moments. I liked the romance in this season from start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great character development for most characters, seeing Winston at his best, notably in Operation Bobcat. Ally is a great character throughout the season and I feel like we get the best version of Nick. Jess is a mess as she has little to no development from the first episode of the show to this point relying on the same quirks while everyone else has matured over the years and found their purpose. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review jackson m Not the best season. Some of the stories do NOT belong and do not make sense, even from a comedy-show perspective. Robby and Jess have the most uncomfortable chemistry, as if to watch a full blooded brother and sister making it work. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
