"What's curious about Broad City,” says Libby Hill, "is how similar the character beats are to its HBO predecessor. Both Abbi and Ilana struggle, often fruitlessly, to drag themselves forward into something resembling progress, only to end each episode as developmentally arrested as they began. Yet that predictable haplessness that audiences love about Broad City often spurs consternation when it crops up on Girls.” PLUS: Girls essentially became Broad City (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/19/arts/television/you-dont-like-the-girls-in-girls-but-thats-its-genius.html) in Sunday's season finale, Broad City ended its third season with the perfect bottle episode (http://splitsider.com/2016/04/broad-city-ended-its-third-season-with-a-perfect-bottle-episode-set-entirely-on-a-plane/), and Abby and Ilana talk (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/21/broad-city-abbi-and-ilana-discuss-future-show) about what’s in store for next season.
