New Girl is a millennial hit. The show re-defined sitcoms for kids who grew up on reruns of Seinfeld and Friends, lovingly expanding existing tropes for the 2010s. Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) perfectly embody this. Nick’s practical and headstrong bartender exterior houses a creative and loyal heart that grounds Jess’s affable but people-pleasing energy perfectly. His cynicism and her optimism serve as both boons and barriers in their relationship, making for a dynamic connection over the show’s seven seasons. Their millennial recession-core dynamic was a bit of a “Ross and Rachel,” and shaped the narrative for the whole show. So it’s surprising – and I’ll say it, a travesty – that Nick and Jess have possibly the worst sitcom wedding of all time.
