New Girl - 1.01-1.08...ish

So this is very enjoyable in a pass the time kind of way, but my brain can't quite figure out how to watch it. It not super funny, but it's not super soapy either (i'm annoyed that they seem to be pushing a Jess/Nick romance, and i'm usually into romances.) I think i'm mainly watching it as a sort of dark, Dostoyevskiyan slide into soulless dissolution of Schmidt thing.
