In 2014, something shifted. In January of that year, Comedy Central aired the very first episode of "Broad City," a scripted comedy series created by and starring real-life best friends Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson (https://www.nickiswift.com/470781/television-duos-who-are-best-friends-in-real-life/). Based on their home-spun web series (https://www.looper.com/367873/the-broad-city-episodes-you-never-knew-existed/) of the same name, the show followed Ilana and Abbi as they traversed New York City as broke twentysomethings, smoking a lot of weed and constantly getting themselves into trouble.
The premise of the series, which allowed the raunchy, bawdy women to do and say anything they wanted, quickly attracted a passionate fanbase that had long been hungry for a show like this. Abbi and Ilana became comedy superstars, and "Broad City" ran for a respectable five seasons. There really hasn't been anything on television like "Broad City" since it stopped airing, which just goes to show how magical the series really was.
Since there will never again be any new episodes of "Broad City" to watch (that we know of), we thought it might be time to take a look at some of the show's highlights -– and lowlights. Using IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2578560/) user ratings as our data set, here's our ranking of the seven best and seven worst episodes of "Broad City."
