Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23: Seasons 1-2 (2012-2014) 2-Disc Set Blu-ray

Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 is a comedy series created by Nahnatchka Khan that follows June, a small-town newcomer to New York who moves in with Chloe, a roommate with a talent for manipulation and a complete disregard for convention. The show pairs June’s earnest optimism with Chloe’s gleefully chaotic approach to life, generating much of its humour from the mismatch.

Across its two seasons the series builds an eccentric supporting cast, including James Van Der Beek playing an exaggerated version of himself, and uses its New York setting as a backdrop for increasingly absurd situations. The writing is fast and self-aware, and the show’s willingness to let its characters behave badly gives it a distinctive edge among sitcoms of its era.

The series has retained a devoted following since it went off the air, and viewers who enjoy sharp, offbeat comedy value it for its wit and its two central performances. Collecting both seasons together captures the complete run of a show that has aged into a cult favourite.
