Watch Don't Trust the B In Apartment 23 Season 2 Episode 9 online The Scarlet Neighbor Preview

Watch Don't Trust the B In Apartment 23 Season 2 Episode 9 Online The Scarlet Neighbor free and Download Don't Trust the B In Apartment 23 Season 2 Episode 9 2x9 show A wide-eyed Midwestern girl moves to New York City to pursue her dream job only to find herself living with a outlandish girl with the morals of a pirate. June's (Dreama Walker) well-planned well-organized life takes a drastic turn when she arrives in New York to find that the corporate finance job she moved there for no longer exists. As she tries to navigate her newly single life in the big city, her Midwestern scruples are constantly put to the test by her wild and sophisticated party-girl roommate Chloe (Krysten Ritter) and Chloe's best friend, the actor James Van Der Beek (James Van Der Beek). The two girls form an unlikely friendship that leads them both to unexpected places and often-illegal experiences.

I really fell in love with this show. It is funny, fresh and original with amazing actors. I loved Krysten Ritter in Veronica Mars, Dreama Walker in Good Wife and James Van Der Beek in One Tree Hill and Dawson's creek. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by Liza Lapira who played Ivy in my beloved Dollhouse. But enough about actors. I really hope this show will be successful (don't see any reason why it shouldn't be), because there aren't enough snarky shows for women nowadays. Everything is too Disney-Glee sweet or too Jersey Shore vulgar. This is exactly between. And there are already legendary quotes going on. Don't miss out on this show. I laughed throughout the whole episode.

When I saw the previews, I wasn't optimistic. "Just another cash-in on the success of 2 Broke Girls..." I said. But while 2 Broke Girls is hackneyed, corny and forced, Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23 turned out to be a smart, sweet, and VERY funny show! The plot centers on June and Chloe, two girls that could not be more different. June is sweet, naive, and believes completely in planning your life out. Chloe is cold, amoral and believes in living only in the moment.

The twist comes when both of these girls turn out to be so much more than your stereotypical odd couple. June is naive to be sure, but she's also bright and strong. Chloe is a borderline sociopath, but she has a heart and is admirably accepting and honest about her personality.

Krysten Ritter, in a complete turnaround from her acclaimed arc on Breaking Bad, is undoubtedly the heart of the show. And what a great heart she is. Only a really great actress could make a character like Chloe lovable, and Ritter not only makes her lovable, she makes her identifiable.

Then there are the supporting characters: the creepy girl who lives down the hall, the sexual deviant who lives next door, the man who would have been June's mentor... all of these characters could have been empty and soulless (not unlike the supporting characters on 2 Broke Girls) but with great writing and acting, they become important parts of the show and offer insight and wisdom when the girls need it.

And then... James Van Der Beek. I was never a Dawson fan, but here, Van Der Beek follows in the vein of Neil Patrick Harris in Harold & Kumar and satirizes his own persona while still having a fun time and actually bringing a lot to the table.

The writing is wonderful. Apparently one of the people working on this show used to work for American Dad, and it shows in the best way. The humor is quick and fast, but still smart and fun. The cast obviously has great material to work with, and thanks to the talent involved, it is milked for all it has. And most of all, there is NO LAUGH TRACK. The people involved obviously knew they were dealing with grade A material, and your own laughs at home are enough.
