They know how to nail situations/characters, while snappy edits cull fluff, leaving only comic gold.

The best friends double down with absurd antics that would make even their season 1 selves blush. [16 Jan 2015, p.70]

It's one of the most purely funny shows on television--where many "comedies" are really dramas in half-hour form, and others are likable but rarely laugh-out-loud funny--and it's only more confident, sharp and very much its own thing in the new season.

Initial indications are good--the second season of Broad City may even exceed the first.

Uproarious, tear-inducing, side-splitting, and tell-everyone-you-love-and-hate-immediately good, Broad City is the funniest show on TV right now and, given time, its brazen inventiveness will probably net it an "all time" qualifier.

Each half hour feels as free-wheeling and wild as Ilana so boldly is, but also as meticulously put-together as Abby strives to be.

Like a packed piñata of absurdity, each episode rains unforeseen treats, from physical pranks to existential banter to all manner of sexual exuberance. It’s all smartly visualized around town and briskly stitched together.

Broad City presents a recognizable, recognizably hilarious perspective on what trying-but-failing looks like from the inside.

Abbi and Ilana are back and as unapologetic and funny as ever. Broad City season two is simultaneously old and new, with the same madcap stoner hilarity and a handful of fresh new faces.... But even these great comedic actors never distract from who is really in charge.

It’s engaging in a more serialized storytelling mode, the world itself, and time’s continual march forward. But these creators aren’t letting Trump’s patriarchy dictate their decisions. These scary forces don’t control Season 4; Glazer and Jacobson do, and they’ve never been more powerful.
