Synopsis
The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006) is a sitcom you can watch online on iFILM, built around Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a divorced single mom juggling a son, a gym she co-owns, and her own bruised ego.
The trouble has a name — literally. Her ex-husband Richard (Clark Gregg) starts dating a younger woman who happens to share Christine's first name. To keep things straight, the girlfriend becomes New Christine, which saddles our heroine with the deflating tag of Old Christine. Around her orbit a tart-tongued best friend, Barb (Wanda Sykes), a perpetually flustered brother, Matthew (Hamish Linklater), and young Richie caught in the middle of the co-parenting tug-of-war.
The whole thing rides on Louis-Dreyfus, who took home an Emmy for the role in its very first season. Five seasons on CBS, dialogue with no sugar in it, and a lead who would rather mock herself than fake having it together. Stream all seasons of Old Christine online on iFILM.
