Given that media helps to shape the way we see and interact with the world, this final-year project is aimed at analysing the representation of mental distress on television, focusing its attention on the main character of musical television series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015-2016). In order to do so, the project exposes what the main character’s depression represents, as well as what we can discover from her moving from the East to the West of the USA. Moreover, it reveals how the influence of the men in her life and the idea of romantic love affect her mental condition and ideology. Furthermore, the project also explores the show in relation to postfeminism, and gives evidence of how it falls into the intertwining of feminist and anti-feminist ideas that characterises postfeminism. Lastly, it concludes with the finding that the show is indeed a postfeminist product, and that both diagnoses of mental distress and romantic love are social constructions used to oppress women and maintain the established gender roles.
