''Don't Trust the B[=----=] in Apartment 23'' is a {{Sitcom}} that aired on Creator/{{ABC}}. The show premiered on April 11, 2012, taking over the timeslot ''Series/HappyEndings'' occupied after its second season wrapped.
June Colburn (Dreama Walker) has her life all figured out: just out of grad school, she secures a high-paying job with a Wall Street investment firm, complete with an upscale company-provided apartment in [[TheBigRottenApple New York City]]. In five years, she'll be a senior analyst married to her high school sweetheart with three kids and a house in the suburbs. Except that by ten o'clock on her first day, she's jobless and out on the street after her boss is implicated in an embezzlement scheme and her new apartment is seized by the government.
Desperate not to return home to her overbearing Midwestern parents (who keep reminding her of the second mortgage they took out for her education), June's search for a new job and a place to live leads her to Chloe (Creator/KrystenRitter), [[SecondaryCharacterTitle The Bitch in Apartment 23]]. Chloe is glamorous, exciting, inexplicably [=BFFs=] with Creator/JamesVanDerBeek--all in all, the perfect roommate...until June learns that Chloe is actually a sex-crazed alcoholic con-artist with the morals of a pirate who regularly scams [[NaiveNewcomer naive newcomers]] into laying down several months' rent before driving them off with her sociopathic antics. But June proves more than capable of holding her own against Chloe, earning her begrudging respect and (maybe) even her friendship.
The show lasted for two wildly disjointed seasons ([=ABC=] never found a niche in its line-up and kept airing many episodes out of order) until January 22, 2013, when James Van Der Beek announced via Twitter that the network had pulled the series and would not be airing the eight episodes already filmed: "Translation: We've basically been cancelled." The remaining episodes would survive in syndication abroad and were eventually aired in the States on the Logo Network.

* ItAmusedMe: During a financial pinch, June longingly watches a wealthy woman eating expensive crab cakes at a café. The woman almost seems to be inviting June to join her...only to swap at the last second and feed the crab cake to her lapdog right in front of the astonished June, who wonders in an interior monologue why someone would do that. We then abruptly swap to the diner's interior monologue, where she reveals she did it because she was bored and jaded.

** It's even unclear how genuine is her friendship with June, since she's stated before that part of the reason she wants June to stick around is simply because she doesn't want to go to the trouble of finding another less-compatible roommate should June leave. However, it should also be pointed out that on several occasions, Chloe's openly put June ahead of herself (such as visiting her family at Thanksgiving--a holiday she hates--solely to scam enough money for June to fly home for Christmas).
