Workaholics was solid, I forgot it existed though. It seems like it's over the peak even though the episodes (second half of last season) have still been fairly decent. Not sure if it was really that great for a season premiere though. Broad City seemed all right. I'll probably watch it again and see where it goes. Hopefully it eschews Girls comparisons though because it did seem already to have its own identity to it.

I love how Blake's always the butt of those jokes even though Adam's lays are probably more pathetic. Another solid one from Workaholics, felt about on par with the first episode of the season. Broad City was okay. It did feel a little bit jumbled and incoherent at times. I think they're trying to include stuff from the web series (which I haven't seen) into some kind of coherency. I think after 4 or 5 episodes, it'll be smoother. Hannibal Burress kind of saved it and I'm not even a huge Hannibal fan. The "vagina is nature's pocket" joke is pretty hackneyed. I liked Abi's old friend Cheese has a kid and acts all above weed then pops a xanax with wine. All too real. I think it did a decent job teetering the line of smoking a ton of weed and getting weird but not LSD weird which too many shows do. I want to see more of the foreign/gay roommate and it looks like we'll see Abi's love interest unfold next episode. I'll keep watching but I thought this first one episode was definitely more coherent. No. 9 fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Jan 31, 2014 |

Both episodes were weaker this time around I think. Broad City was better than Workaholics, but both were mediocre. Workaholics really going for the gross out stuff this time around, they're better when they reign it in a bit. No. 9 fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Harry posted:I think it was the beginning of last season when they started to lose it for me. The first couple of episodes were really really weird. The last half of the season was really weak. "In Line" and "Webcam Girl" were the only two solid episodes I thought. "Hungry Like the Wolf Dog" wasn't terrible but it suffered from not reigning in the gross out stuff there again. The rest are really forgettable. I wonder if Broad City is slowly going to phase Hannibal out. It was good to see Rachel Dratch and Janeane Garofalo play straight women to Ilana too.

I'm definitely preferring Broad City over Workaholics this season. Workaholics seems to have gone downhill, hopefully it redeems itself. I feel it's on it's last couple of seasons with the way they're all branching out. Broad City was good, a little weaker than the previous few episodes but still solid.

Workaholics felt definitely more like it used to this time around, Broad City is eclipsing it though. It was really strong once again.

It's not. Is it established that Hannibal is more than just a guest star though? I felt like they were slowly phasing him out and he was kind of there to help carry it initially. Workaholics just feels like it's retreading ground a lot and isn't as clever as it once was.

Workaholics this season has been terrible. Workaholics is more outrageous humor that doesn't fly in the real world, whereas Broad City's appeal is that it's pretty realistic for a mid-late 20s in the city type show. Considering there's been dozens of those types of shows, they're not very realistic. I think that's where the current Girls comparison comes in because it, on some level, tries to do something similar but also misses the mark. It's not as laugh out loud funny as Workaholics can be (and really hasn't this season), but it's more consistent and definitely clever. I don't see how they're THAT similar outside of marketing cheaply on "stoner humor" which is shortsighted on CC's part. Workaholics relies on nostalgia references and outrageousness, whereas Broad City, so far, is more about comedic struggle and exploring the interpersonal relationship between Abbi and Ilana. I can see that it's not for everyone, CC shouldn't market it as a female Workaholics at all. But given their schedule, I can see how they'd try to make it fit.

I think this one was the best one in a while and that's not saying much.

It's like they completely forgot what the show was about. Now it's just too much gross out scenes. The dialog is still funny most of the time but there's only been like 1-2 episodes either in the office or without some gratuitous gross out humor.

Does Workaholics come back? I think CC's going to market Broad City differently now that it's taken off. I'm not super into the shorts. I really liked all the episodes (except maybe the NYC/Cell phone episode) but the show finds a better balance to them (and referential humor) than the shorts or the web series. I feel like I wouldn't be into the live show.
