Jackie, a single suburban mother, is shocked when her estranged sister, Elizabeth, her sister's outrageously wealthy, big-hearted husband, Javier, and Javier's fiercely loyal assistant/driver/friend, Luis, land on her doorstep in need of a place to live after the couple's money dries up. Though class differences may separate the women, and the size of the house and the number of people living in it will test the limits of family ties, the familial bond of sisterhood might be the catalyst they need to restore their relationship.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter With Camil working his Rogelio magic, Leggero pushing aggressively for chuckles, Diaz's amusingly fresh characterization and fleeting warm-hearted moments, I can see the elements in Broke that might coalesce into something better eventually. Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Please, anything but "Broke." Abby ... us ... especially you all deserve better. Rated: 1/4 Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Sweet vibe and great actors elevate predictable sitcom. Rated: 3/5 Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Glenn Garvin Reason Online Broke crackles with acerbic wit and precision-timed physical humor. Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Joel Keller Decider We saw glimmers of a good show in the pilot, thanks to showrunners Alex Herschlag and Jennie Snyder Urman's insistence on taking time to build the characters instead of going for cheap gags. Apr 2, 2020 Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Proper working blokes don't often get a chance to have their say on TV. This dour series goes some way to redressing the balance.

Audience Member I liked it, it was a little crazy humor and we need that sometimes in this day and age. I really enjoyed Pauley Perrette as I have been missing her so much since she left NCIS. Will miss this crazy little show! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Love Natasha Leggero's Roll ❤ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Cringe from beginning to end. Didn't miss much for those who didn't watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I have tried several times to watch this show, but the sister and her husband are too annoying. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show sucks. They should keep Pauley Perrette and get rid of the rest of the cast and it might be fixable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The writing is so forced in this comedy that even the canned laugh track dropped out of the last few beats of several episodes. Just like the audience, it couldn't finish a full episode either. It's a shame, the cast is talented; but there's no saving this show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
