What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Comedy Central cable channel, Broad City follows two best friends — Ilana (Ilana Glazer) and Abbi (Abbi Jacobson) — as they navigate their twenties in New York City. In the fourth season, Comedy Central says, “Abbi and Ilana will experience NYC in a whole new way: the dead of winter.” They’ll also get new jobs, mark their “Friendiversary,” experiment with mushrooms, explore being witches, and take a trip to Florida. Hannibal Buress, John Gemberling, Stephen Schneider, Arturo Castro, Paul W. Downs, Chris Gethard, Eliot Glazer, Susie Essman, Bob Balaban, and Nicole Drespel recur on the series.

PLEASE DONT CANCEL BRAOD CITY!!! When I heard broad city was being cancelled I literally searched every where online to try to write a review so I can beg to not have it cancelled!! I love this show so much, it’s so clever and wacky! My best friend and I had the same relationship as Abbi and Ilana.
