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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Glazer and Jacobson give the people exactly what they want in Broad City's final season - relatable content, questionable intimacy, and ingenious escapades through the glorious squalor of IRL NYC.

Riese Bernard Autostraddle Broad City closed out its five-year run with two queer women leads - women who passed the Bechdel Test with scores so high you might think their parents paid somebody else to take it. Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Andi Zeisler Bitch Media Broad City has always been a love story, and the Abbi and Ilana we know would almost definitely agree that, as with all great romances, it's better to burn out than to fade away. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Caroline Framke Variety At the same time that it acknowledged their co-dependence, "Broad City" also managed to honor the deep and real friendship that's resonated with so many of its viewers since the beginning, sending it off with admirable grace and even searing clarity. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Erika W. Smith Forbes Broad City is back with its fifth and final season, and the first episode reminds us that though the show is as funny as ever, things are changing for Abbi and Ilana. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Cate Young Jezebel Broad City [...] repeatedly asserted that the primary, most beautiful, intimate, and meaningful romance of your life can be the relationship you have with your best friend Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast Broad City, if I ever take the time to look back and take stock, will likely rank as one of my favorite shows to write about, and most definitely to watch.

Audience Member The most overrated show in history. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is just what has been needed on tv! If you haven't yet had a chance to check it out, do it now! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Abbi and Ilana have done it again and that final episode had me in a ball. These two are ridiculous but everything feels so real. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Garbage. Is the one word I would say suits this show. Two girls who think being ugly and gross are ingredients to being hilarious. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member So I was in jail and this came on. You think being in jail, that things can't get much worse. Nope. This made it worse. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly satisfying final season with many fun call backs. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
