Perspective: A salute to 'Broad City' as it comes to a close
“Broad City” is coming to an end, with its final three episodes airing this month. Those episodes premiered at SXSW on Sunday to a packed house, and much of the audience was weeping by the end.
Originally a web series, “Broad City” was developed for Comedy Central by executive producer Amy Poehler. “Do you guys remember the web series finale with Amy Poehler?” Glazer asked the audience. In it, Poehler says, “Come on, girls, you just gotta do it, you gotta take life by the balls.” Glazer said they wrote the line because it was “what we needed to hear in real life.”
For all of its absurdity, “Broad City” is the closest thing I have seen on TV to the reality of my and my friends’ lives. Seeing it come to a close feels like the end of an era. “Broad City” has helped me love and accept the woman staring back at me in the mirror so much more because it’s filled with the things women do when no one is looking, the things we edit out of our Instagram posts because we are afraid to show those parts of ourselves — we’re loath to bare our idiosyncrasies, our less-than-perfect parts, our so-called flaws.The show addresses the attempt to balance the pursuit of our passions versus paying rent.
