Comedy Central's new show, Broad City, is my new favorite thing in the whole world. It follows the lives of two New York women, in their twenties. It is absolutely hysterical, and so relatable. The show is filled with feminist undertones. It is so refreshing to watch a TV show with two strong female leads. I really love seeing funny women being rewarded for their work on such a high level. The two main actresses are also the writers and creators of the series. It makes a huge difference when women get to act out a script written by a woman rather than a man. It makes the program and the characters much more relatable. It has been so successful already, and I know it will continue to be.

ReplyDeleteI've never seen this show, but it looks hilarious! I hope more shows are written by women in the future as this clip was a great example of how successful the results can be.
