I don’t even watch Girls but I’ve read enough about it to know that Broad City is FAR superior and SHOULD BE the voice of our generation, not girls. Here is why:
Ilana Glazer’s character is queer
Every episode of Broad City has more than one queer character
Some of these queer characters are queer people of color
ILANA’S VERSION OF NEW YORK ISN’T WHITE AS SNOW
Passes the Bechdel test every episode multiple times over
Funny as SHIT and also isn’t mean but can be crass and stuff
Literally at one point Ilana’s character advocates for a future where everyone is “caramel and queer”
All the female characters are really interesting and different
Hannibal Buress is on it. You may know him as one of tumblr’s favorite comedians.
Hannibal Buress’s character is one of the best, kindest guy characters on tv oh my god
There’s a whole episode surrounding Ilana dating a bisexual guy and her telling him how awesome he and his sexuality is like holy shit
THE UST BETWEEN ABBI AND ILANA IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE
Super down to earth because it started as a web series until Amy Pohler picked it up
In conclusion I don’t normally pit shows against each other but please watch Broad City instead of Girls. Seriously, love yourself.
