2 Broke Girls

After six seasons, this Whitney Cummings comedy show will thankfully end. The central cast led by Kat Dennings (Max Black) and Beth Behrs (Caroline Channinng) have shone throughout the series although I have never been comfortable with the "Fonz" like reception given Jennifer Coolidge (Sophia Kachinsky) when she makes her first appearance in every episode. The biggest downfall of the show has been the long list of handsome boyfriends that have done nothing but weaken a strong, tight ensemble for no apparent reason. Even the cupcake business has opened and closed without ever finding a home. This is the second successful comedy series for Cummings although as a writer, she has simply run out of ideas.

Recently got into 2 Broke Girls as it was on Amazon Prime, and have now watched the entire series.

It's basically about two friends, the sarcastic, streetwise and busty Max and kooky riches-to-rags Caroline, who both have aspirations to run their own cupcake business one day, and take on a variety of jobs throughout the show's run to help realise their dream. Mainly they work as waitresses at a diner in Brooklyn, run by their boss and sometimes-nemesis Han, a likeable enough and short Korean man. Also working at the diner are crude Ukranian cook Oleg, and elderly and forgetful Earl, the diner's cashier. Finally, the other main character is Sophie, a Polish neighbour of the girls who frequently visits the gorls at the diner or their apartment. The humour of the show is very crude and in your face, but it's not pretending to be something it's not.

I find the show easy to watch, the story lines are not complicated and the humour is not too clever for its own good, if you want a show that's easy to get into, you can have on in the background with a few laughs guaranteed, give it a go. To be honest, the only thing I don't really like is the character of Sophie, her accent and voice annoy me and the audience cheers every time she enters the diner are slightly baffling to me. I never liked Jennifer Coolidge's characters in Friends or Seinfeld ether, maybe I'm just not a fan of hers.

Anyway, to summarise, it's a crude, in your face show that's pretty easy to watch with not too-confusing plot lines, and features the wonderful Kat Dennings, watch it for her and her ample bosom alone, you'll not regret it.

If not for the lack of common sense of the director and the editor, I would have enjoyed this series a lot more. One big complaint I have is that these two girls and the other cast always talk very loudly and very evidently within the earshot of other cast/ characters on the screen. Be it small gossip, a complaint, or even talking behind their back, secretive and non-secretive alike, they always talk loudly as if all other people including themselves are kinda DEAF.

Apart from this major major flaw, the series can be fun to watch for some people. The concept of 2 broke girls in a big city chasing their dreams whilst having fun can be inspiring and spread a little joy for the viewers.

It's not bad... It's not good. It's exactly what it needs to be. Very okay.

Lots of sex jokes, sometimes cheesy, sometimes raunchy but most of the times enjoyable. The actresses that play the lead roles are perfectly cast. Especially Kat Dennings, who, even with material that isn't always up to par, lights up the screen with her wonderful, sensual, charismatic, yet sometimes almost painfully sarcastic and bitter sense of humor.

I don't know. I've watched a lot of episodes of season one, and somehow I just keep watching whenever I need some harmless, simple humor. I think that this show completely proves that good leads really can carry a show and capture an audience. It's just a sweet concept, literally, with the cupcakes and all, and it's a warm show, made with some love and fun. I'm not impressed by it but I like it. At the moment it's the only comedy show I watch. Much better than a lot of other crap out there. Maybe not as good a some shows, like modern family and community or 30 rock. It's not brilliant in any way, it's not new and original in any way, but you really feel for the characters, maybe not right away but after a few episodes you start appreciate them.

This sounds like such a "meh..." review, but it's really not. Beth Behrs, who I really haven't seen in anything else, portrays the part of the naive rich girl who just landed in the gutter just fine and endearing. It's a joy to see Jennifer Coolidge working again, she's just wonderful in portraying "over the top" characters, sometimes I almost feel ashamed that a movie and TV fanatic like me likes her, but hey, everybody has their guilty pleasures. At the moment 2 broke girls is mine. When I don't want to think and just want to watch something fun.

Plus, I really dig the fact that this show is not shy about the sex jokes and sometimes gets really rude. Don't we all sometimes?

I feel like I need to write a review in this show defense after reading so many negative reviews.

I mostly watch it before bedtime and I found it extremely relaxing. I do not need much attention, it has a positive vibe and it is funny enough. Not the deep mind blowing shows that makes me too thoughtful. And that is perfectly fine.

All characters combine very well with which other and I kind of feel at home when viewing one more episode.

All in all this show perfect fits my needs and I find it very enjoyable.
