The critically acclaimed Web series "Broad City" moves to Comedy Central as a half-hour scripted series. It's created by and stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer as 20-something best friends who are trying to navigate life in New York, despite that their adventures always seem to lead down unexpected and bizarre paths. They have very little money, but they are survivors who aren't afraid to throw themselves into sticky situations, no matter how messy the end results may be. Jacobson and Glazer both honed their comedy chops at New York's Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. UCB co-founder Amy Poehler is an executive producer on the series and joins Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, Janeane Garofalo, Michelle Hurst, Jason Mantzoukas and Amy Sedaris, among others, as guest stars.

Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act Hannibal Burress and his laid-back humor make this Comedy Central program one of the best debuts of the year... Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Andi Zeisler Bitch Media While there are several popular shows out right now about oh-so-spunky, creative young women making their way in the pee-strewn streets of NYC, Broad City feels both unique and funnier than all the rest. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe There's a lot to like about Broad City, and much of that appeal has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the Comedy Central series is by women (including executive producer Amy Poehler) and about women. But some of it does. Mar 28, 2014 Full Review J.M. Suarez PopMatters Broad City is a brilliant half hour of comedy that mines familiar and original material in equal parts. Rated: 8/10 Jan 8, 2015 Full Review Jason Tabrys Screen Rant The show's tone is also confident in a way that is singular and doubtlessly forged by the struggle to come up through the overcrowded Web and bolstered by the approval of someone like Amy Poehler. Jan 27, 2014 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun For all the laughs, this series has something deadly serious to say about the view from where Abbi and Ilana live.
