Broad City

Before the show actually started airing, I saw commercials and did not expect much from this show. When I watched the first episode, I was almost shocked how funny it was. Every episode makes me love the show more and more. The characters are great. Hannibal Buress is perfect, and he is barely in it (so far at least) and he is still just the 3rd best on the show. The two main characters are crazy, neurotic (well maybe only Abbi is neurotic), and hilarious. These are two woman that are not afraid to just be funny. The show reminds me of a mixture of workaholics and flight of the conchords. If you like to laugh, then give this show a chance, watch it open minded and not expecting too much).

Ilana Glazer is truly the funniest person (and also an amazing human if you follow her socials). This show is so clever and funny and I miss having it in in my life. These two are comedic geniuses. Hope we get something else from the two of them.

I honestly don't get why anyone would give this show a negative rating. I guess different people find different things funny. I am a fan of Workaholics and Always Sunny... but where those shows use impossible situations and unrealistic scenarios, Broad City is very different. Maybe you have to be a chick living in the city, but no, my husband sitting next to me watching is laughing his butt off too. Awkward and stupid is funny, and I so get these broads. The first show I watched had me laughing to tears, and I thought maybe it might have been a fluke, but every episode I have watched since has been just as funny. I also want to point out that while many shows are funny, you have to admit the characters are so horrible as human beings that you really wish the worst fate on them. Not these girls... Their friendship is actually kind of sweet, and you are always really cheering for them. They also have some of the best friends ever, and I would give anything for the chance to party with this bunch.

I have seen the commercials promoting the show and didn't bother to watch for it--it's not that it looked 'bad,' just that it didn't appear to cater to me. I happened to catch episode seven, though, and it had me laughing several times with its circumstantial comedy. I decided to seek out the rest of the series and have seen up to episode three so far--I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I've noted some people liken it to Workaholics and I can attest that it has that pace and comedic tone. Though frankly, Workaholics has lost its luster to me after season two and I no longer look forward to new episodes. I do, however, look forward to continue watching this show. I could also see it compared somewhat to New Girl. If you like either of those shows, Broad City is worth a try.

If you hate the idea of hipsters (as so many other reviews have pointed out and because of which have given scalding ratings), don't be put off--it's very easy to overlook once you get into it. Rather than the whole condescending, superiority-complex-laden attitude of the prototypical hipster, the two main characters set a vibe that they're just being the way they are.

Edgy, funny and so original. The writing is brilliant and the actresses are so naturally funny. I await each episode. So many new shows are a disappointment, but not this one. I can actually envision these girls as existing in real life. I love that it is edgy and a bit raunchy...in a good way. I hope the best for this show and hope it is on for a long time. I think the people who don't like it, just don't get it, and it is unfortunate they write what they do. I also like how they don't pretend to be so ladylike, they are just funny and real. Congrats to.the writer and kudos to the two leading ladies.

Anyway, good job ladies, and keep up the good work!!
