New Girl

Just arrived, her

New Girl is an American sitcom (2011–2018) about an awkward, upbeat young woman who moves in with three male roommates after a breakup.

The title character Jess, played by Zooey Deschanel, embodies a quirky, earnest femininity.

The show popularized "adorkable" as a descriptor for this type.

We're having a New Girl marathon this weekend.
