Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Special

There’s a meta thread running throughout the special, a self-awareness that adds just the right amount of spikiness to its more sentimental moments. And that all comes together in the end, with a conclusion that’s as funny and emotional and sincere as everything that’s come before.

Even if you’ve never seen an episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, you’ll get a lot out of seeing Bloom speak openly about grief while keeping it harmonious.
