Broad City: At last, a show by, about, and for girls
Thanks to Deo for introducing us to the series. The second season has begun.
Millennials try to make their way in the world in Comedy Central’s brilliantly bizarre, often surreal Broad City. Creators Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson star as two college graduates in their early 20s also named Ilana and Abbi. They’re in the same demographic as the characters of Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls, but far less self-conscious and ten times funnier. Here at last is a show by, about, and for girls; where the girls do not obsess about their weight, wardrobe, or boyfriends; where they forgive themselves for not being perfect; where they are free to be themselves, and that includes being gross.

Have you seen “You’re The Worst”? It’s similar…10 eps, 20-30 min per episode. This one’s about a couple but has the same theme of avoiding the typical/clichés.
