Season 1 episodes (7)

1 Pilot
4/11/12
In the premiere episode, "Pilot," June (Dreama Walker) moves to Manhattan for a dream job and the perfect company apartment, only to have them disappear in a puff of reality, thanks to a CEO from the Bernie Madoff school of embezzlement. Deep in debt and out on the streets, June scrambles to land a job and a place to live. It seems that her luck has turned when she gets hired at a coffee shop and finds Chloe (Krysten Ritter), a charming, vivacious roommate - but with the morals of a pirate. Chloe soon swindles June out of all her savings, but she and her snarky friend, James Van Der Beek (playing himself), come to learn that, just because June's naive, she isn't stupid. June ingeniously turns the tables on Chloe, who is so shocked about being scammed herself that she decides to pull June into her colorful band of friends. Sure, it's all dysfunctional, bizarre and overwhelming, but so is New York City. And with the help of Chloe and the other oddballs around her, June might just learn the survival secrets she needs to make it there.

Me & My Shadow
February 8, 2013
The folks behind _The B in 23_ have a track record of storytelling that's above-average. The title caught my attention and after the first 3 episodes, I wanted more. James Van Der Beek plays himself similar to Matt LeBlanc doing it in _Episodes_. The characters are interesting and open-minded enough that they acknowledge when they're wrong (eventually)... even the b****. This is a half-hour scripted sitcom that deserves more attention.

Sad that any original and edgy series doesn't seem to make it far these days, but at least it made it to aur. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something completely fun.

I recently read an article that the network pulled the plug on this show and has no plans to air the remaining 8 un aired episodes. If your planing to buy season 2 you may wanna think twice before you buy it. $46.99 is kinda steep for a season with only 11 episodes.
