2 Broke Girls

It's about two missfits. One is a spoiled rotten brat who lost all her money, and Max is a street rat that is rough and tough. The are both best friends that want to earn enough money to start a cupcake store. Most of the jokes are sex jokes and slapstick.

Max and Caroline couldn't be any more different but that's what makes this sitcom work in the first place. Max is dark, blue collar, and works as a waitress in Brooklyn diner. Caroline is the daughter of a Ponzi king, Mr. Channing, who is now in jail and she's completely broke. She gets a job working at the diner alongside Max and a few colorful characters such as Mr. Han, the owner, and Garrett Morris who should be used more in the first place. Caroline is the rich girl with an Ivy league degree who has lost everything. Max has a soft side and welcomes her reluctantly into her life and home. Their friendship is more like they're sisters than anything else. The actresses who play the parts come across as believable and the writing needs a little work but it's still worth watching. The horse, Chestnut, should be included in their credits. While it's silly at times, I really enjoy and look forward to this show on Monday nights.

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.

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.

There seems to be an awful lot of hate for this award nominated and sometimes winning series. It's not for prudes, that is for sure, but if you can let go of your hangups for a while, you might enjoy it quite a bit. The overall star-rating seems to be better than the reviews, so I'm speaking up here, and others who like the series should as well. We are not well represented in the review section.

There are rapid-fire one-liners that you'll miss if you're not paying attention. There is also a tendency to cross boundaries that it seems many are more comfortable on the other side of. Sometimes there are poignant scenes that will draw a tear or two, once you get to know the characters. These girls are fiercely loyal to one another, when it comes down to brass tacks.

Some of the physical comedy is great. Kat Dennings does some that is effective, but I think Beth Behrs really pulls out the stops sometimes!

Sure it's a smart, raunchy comedy, and a funny one too. It's also a tale of two pretty young ladies trying their damnedest to wrench a modest living out of a hard city for all but the elite. They hang onto hope of a better life by their dream of exploiting the character Max's skill at baking delicious cupcakes, and Caroline's Wharton business education and talents into their own business one day.

I didn't think I'd like it at all from the ads and teasers, but then watched an episode on TV, as a rerun, when there was nothing else on. I binge-watched the entire series, over time, and now keep up with the current episodes when they first air.

I really enjoy following their journey toward success, and you just might too, if you can relax and go with the roller coaster flow that is "2 Broke Girls".

Let's face it, it's not like an Oscar-winning movie, but for what it is, it is very worthy entertainment.
