Not even bad in a good way

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

''May contain spoilers''First of all i'm not much of a talker and this is my first review!When i saw trailers on TV for this show i decided to give it a chance and to try and watch it few times.Well,thats it!Show wasn't funny at all and even entertaining.Watched episode where two main girl characters was on skating in park,other one was where they going to party on boat.I watched even third one also where those two was searching best party all over city,but also didn't get to me at all.As much i tryed to stay open minded those was just toilet humor and nothing more.There is plenty series whith similar content that i cant consume as humor.Worst scene for me was when some guy was in a pool with dolphin toy and he was raping poor dolphin and screamin im havin orgasm,and trying to push acting with ovearacting to the point when is unwatchable.I just cent get rid off feeling that this kind of series is about how to make stoned people look funny,cool or i don't know what.For me best TV series for humor are mr.Bean,Seinfeld,Fresh Prince,South park,i grew up with those and they are still funny to me.This show compared to those listed before deserve this scoring i gave...

I just watched the first episode of the fourth season. I had never heard of the show before now. I guess I don't live in the Comedy Central world much.Reviewers have called the main characters, Abbi and Ilana, slackers and hipsters. Based upon the Urban Dictionary definition of those terms, those descriptions fit.While I admire the creativity of the writers, this is a show that I might stop to watch if I were passing it while channel surfing, but it will not be a regular destination. Trying to decide why I feel that way produced interesting observations.I like "Seinfeld" a lot. And that show does include some slackerism (not to be confused with slackism, which denotes the wearing of slacks). George never worked a job he didn't want to shirk. Kramer never had an acknowledged job. So, slackers are not anathema to me. Still, we never saw George and Kramer sitting around stoned as if it were a way of life. And Cheech & Chong (the prototypical slackers) definitely take the lifestyle too far, for me. (I note that the two women like to use the word "dude" a lot.)And the fact that neither character can be considered admirable does not bother me. Again, I enter "Seinfeld" into evidence.It is the hipsterism that annoys me enough to downgrade this show. The self-conscious peppering of every sentence with the catchphrases du jour and the me-tooism of their liberal "convictions" are what distract from the comedy. A tattoo of Oprah? The pop culture worship of the Obamas? I note, for the record, that neither Jerry nor Elaine ever voiced a political sentiment in their lives. But I can see them lampooning those with PC perspectives or knee-jerk (i.e. not deeply considered) political stances.In short, this show is one step above "New Girl"--which is filled with nearly random attempts at random zaniness--but I would rather watch a tightly written comedy like "Modern Family" or even the lower brow "King of Queens".

Broad City is a rising comedy about two broke best friends, Abbi Abrams and Ilana Wexler, who live in New York City. The show focuses in on their daily lives and their struggles in between. The two are always getting themselves into strange situations but always find a way out. They are both regular women, who have fun spending their time together and joking around. Before the aired shows, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, the two main characters and creators of Broad City, created "webisodes" online (from 2009 to 2011) starring themselves as best friends as well. Amy Poehler really liked the web series and agreed to be the executive producer when the two asked. Short after, and with the aid of Poehler, the show was signed to Comedy Central. The first show was aired January 22, 2014. The first and second season of Broad City were very successful. Many viewers loved it. Now the third season is on it's way, airing February 17th 2016. On top of that, Comedy Central renewed their contract for the fourth and fifth season. One of the great things about Broad City is how relatable it is to this generation. My friends and I often find ourselves comparing each other to the main characters. Ilana is the more free-spirited one between the two, who is always up for an adventure. While Abbi, who is a few years older, is still trying to find herself but still have a little fun while doing so. Although their personalities are a bit different, they even each other out and have one of the sweetest relationships. You'll catch yourself rooting for them through every crazy adventure they take on. Broad City is often compared to Sex and the City, as well as HBO's Girls because of it's strong female roles. Though they are alike in many ways, Broad City creates a completely different tone. It focuses more on Ilana and Abbi's relationship between each other, rather than their love life so much. Seeing as how they have worked together in the past, it's easy to see how real their chemistry is on screen. It helps that they also have some of the funniest friends and cast members including Hannibal Buress as Lincoln (Ilana's boyfriend) and John Gemberling as Bevers (Abbi's very interesting roommate). Once you start watching this crazy group of friends it's hard to stop!

Everybody is praising this show as if it were Breaking Bad. It boggles my mind that people think girls acting stupid is "feminism" and "funny". Extremely cringe-worthy, I can't go through a few seconds without wanting to kill myself because it's so horrible. Nothing to the show really, just two immature women with the maturity and intelligence of third graders. The people who praise this garbage only do it because it's one of the few shows with women playing lead roles. But for people with an IQ above 20, they will know better than to watch this show. Please watch something that's actually funny, like South Park. Spare your brain cells and stay well away from this show.
