What a Wonderful World
Prismark107 August 2019
There are lots of sitcoms about twenty somethings living in the big city. The first episode of Broad City, a spin off from a web series is about 2 Jewesses trying 2 make a buck.

With one of them not getting the pay cheque on time. Abbi and Ilana need to make up the shortfall so they can go an see a Lil Wayne concert.

They drum on some buckets and then are reduced to clean an apartment of some creepy guy in their underwear.

Meanwhile both have crummy jobs, but they need to make a buck. Abbi's roommate has a slob of a boyfriend who stays with them and makes her life a misery. He eats all the cheese and leaves worse things behind in the bathroom.

Abbi and Ilana do seems like real people and their workplace also looks more realistic in comparison to Friends or Sex in the City.

The characters are depicted well for the first episode. Ilana video calls Abbi has she is jumping up and down on her boyfriend. Abbi comes across as more sympathetic as she seems more put upon and frustrated about life.

However some of it did come across like a series of sketches and not always funny ones.
