Fatal Attraction isn’t the only sex thriller that inspired Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 3

This season’s “Funny Fatal Attraction” storyline also took cues from Basic Instinct, Cruel Intentions, Dangerous Liaisons and Swimfan. This season also found inspiration in Breaking Bad, which is why Rachel Bloom was dressed as Walter White. “Breaking Bad is probably Rachel and my number-one inspiration,” says co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna. “The yoke of likability is something that I really labored under for years writing romantic comedies.” ALSO: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is the perfect corrective for one of the most draining weeks in entertainment history.
