Broad City

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this show.

From the outset it seems like a very traditional sitcom set-up; two women living in a big city, in their 20s, stuck in limbo struggling to 'do what adults do' (see '2 Broke Girls').

But this is so much more charming and funny than the usual sitcoms churned out by the dozen in America... perhaps because the web-series it was inspired by was an indie project from the outset, and relied on the chemistry of everybody involved.

There's plenty of awkwardness, but the cringe-worthy situations are offset by the friendship-cum-platonic-marriage Ilana and Abbi have. Every episode is hilarious, and set to some pretty cool music, too.

And they've had the series renewed for another couple of seasons! I only hope they can maintain the high standard set in the first couple. Definitely watch this if you like your comedy small-scale, indie and with a healthy dose of weird.

I was skeptical at first but now I'm hooked. I found it completely refreshing to have a female lead series that has a broad sense of humor that isn't gender specific. The show is basically about two women in their twenties living in New York City and the hassle that comes with it. Imagine the HBO series Girls but way funnier and more realistic. The show is carried by the 2 lead characters Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. Their chemistry and comedic timing throughout the series suits them well.I found their friendship with one another completely authentic and truly charming. Although their roles are minor, support actors like Hannibal Buress, John Gemberling, and Chris Gethard help create funny characters for Ilana and Abbi to interact with. The scenarios are hilarious, the dialog is funny and the acting is great. As much as I personally enjoyed the first episode it wasn't until the second episode "Pu$$y Weed" that I became hooked. If you like workaholics or it's always sunny you'll definitely enjoy this. Comedy Central seriously has potential hit on their hands. I seriously recommend watching a few episodes before making your judgment.

All I kept thinking while I was watching this show and their webisodes was, "They get me." Abbi and Ilana are freaking hilarious and play off each other perfectly. It is a great balance of comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously or become too stupid. It is not as depressing as "Girls", and not as cliché as "2 Broke Girls". Loved it! Not only did I fall in love with Abbi and Ilana's characters right away, but Hannibal Buress plays his role perfectly. Laughed out loud the whole time. If you get a chance, check out their short youtube clips of their webisodes. It's nice to see a show made with female comedians that are unknown. All of my friends that watch this keep saying, "This is gonna be huge." I agree completely.

I'll miss this lit show, so much energy, enthusiasm, and entertaining episodes! Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson are gold and there's so much creativity involved! Also Hannibal Buress is great I'm glad I got to see him live at a comedy show a few years ago. Pure awesomeness and very relaxing.

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).
