If you're looking for some laughs after a tiring day, something we all need a bit more of these days, look no further! This fall, Netflix serves up a hearty dose of laughs and smiles with the new original comedy series, 'Pretty Smart'. The series comes from the writers of 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' and 'How I Met Your Mother'.

Having said that, the series is focused on actress Emily Osment. Although she might be known for playing happy-go-lucky characters like Lilly in 'Hannah Montana' and Gabi in 'Young & Hungry', she’s taking a high-brow turn as the intellectual and aspiring novelist Chelsea, who moves in with her super chill, easygoing sister, Claire, and her three seemingly eccentric roommates.

Spoilers 

The official synopsis reads: " After getting unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend, Chelsea (Emily Osment), a high-brow, Harvard-educated intellectual and aspiring novelist, is forced to move in with her bubbly, carefree, not-so-intellectual West Coast sister, Claire (Olivia Macklin), and her three lovably eccentric, not-so-intellectual roommates: Grant (Gregg Sulkin), a distractingly handsome personal trainer, Solana (Cinthya Carmon), a former lawyer turned healer, and Jayden (Michael Hsu Rosen), a social media influencer.

But Chelsea’s tough, sometimes judgemental exterior starts to soften as she gets to know her new friends, and they begin to form an unlikely found family.”
