In an attempt to attend the pop up Lil Wayne concert, two close friends Llana and Abbi, who enjoy their life together, travel to New York, in order to collect the money needed for the ceremony, the thing that brings terrible for them, as they struggle against finding a suitable place for them.
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.
Its two featured newcomers skid along just fine, earning exceedingly small victories en route. It's a decent bet that many viewers will be left with smiley faces.
All told, the series represents the sort of sharp sensibility and fully realized comic point of view that the network has long been chasing, albeit with decidedly mixed results.
