New Girl It might have started out as a fish-out-of-water comedy about unlucky-in-love Jess (Zoeey Deschanel) and her three new roommates, but New Girl quickly transforms itself into a full-fledged romantic comedy. Jess and her friends' pursuits of love are alternately funny and heartfelt, and there's a good reason this show usually appears on lists of "best first kisses" too! Watch New Girl on Netflix.
