It is one of the most low brow shows in the universe and I like it
It's about two missfits. One is a spoiled rotten brat who lost all her money, and Max is a street rat that is rough and tough. The are both best friends that want to earn enough money to start a cupcake store. Most of the jokes are sex jokes and slapstick.
2 Broke to Save
After six seasons, this Whitney Cummings comedy show will thankfully end. The central cast led by Kat Dennings (Max Black) and Beth Behrs (Caroline Channinng) have shone throughout the series although I have never been comfortable with the "Fonz" like reception given Jennifer Coolidge (Sophia Kachinsky) when she makes her first appearance in every episode. The biggest downfall of the show has been the long list of handsome boyfriends that have done nothing but weaken a strong, tight ensemble for no apparent reason. Even the cupcake business has opened and closed without ever finding a home. This is the second successful comedy series for Cummings although as a writer, she has simply run out of ideas.
An easy to watch, enjoyable show
Recently got into 2 Broke Girls as it was on Amazon Prime, and have now watched the entire series.
It's basically about two friends, the sarcastic, streetwise and busty Max and kooky riches-to-rags Caroline, who both have aspirations to run their own cupcake business one day, and take on a variety of jobs throughout the show's run to help realise their dream. Mainly they work as waitresses at a diner in Brooklyn, run by their boss and sometimes-nemesis Han, a likeable enough and short Korean man. Also working at the diner are crude Ukranian cook Oleg, and elderly and forgetful Earl, the diner's cashier. Finally, the other main character is Sophie, a Polish neighbour of the girls who frequently visits the gorls at the diner or their apartment. The humour of the show is very crude and in your face, but it's not pretending to be something it's not.
I find the show easy to watch, the story lines are not complicated and the humour is not too clever for its own good, if you want a show that's easy to get into, you can have on in the background with a few laughs guaranteed, give it a go. To be honest, the only thing I don't really like is the character of Sophie, her accent and voice annoy me and the audience cheers every time she enters the diner are slightly baffling to me. I never liked Jennifer Coolidge's characters in Friends or Seinfeld ether, maybe I'm just not a fan of hers.
Anyway, to summarise, it's a crude, in your face show that's pretty easy to watch with not too-confusing plot lines, and features the wonderful Kat Dennings, watch it for her and her ample bosom alone, you'll not regret it.

Broke hits the block!
As an avid series fan, it's always an exciting thing to watch pilot and judge based on it. I've been looking forward to '2 broke girls, mostly because of Kat Dennings (so underrated!). The pilot was good, not great as some other new sitcom (like Happy Ending) but it is much better than other fall comedy show (like Up all night or Deschanel's New girl?). Kat Dennings did great and as surprise as I was her co-star did too. Though the pilot is kinda claustrophobic, going back and forth from the diner they work at to their apartment. I will be looking forward to this, and hopefully there will be more chemistry between the two girls and more hilarious story lines to come.
In this show defense
I feel like I need to write a review in this show defense after reading so many negative reviews.
I mostly watch it before bedtime and I found it extremely relaxing. I do not need much attention, it has a positive vibe and it is funny enough. Not the deep mind blowing shows that makes me too thoughtful. And that is perfectly fine.
All characters combine very well with which other and I kind of feel at home when viewing one more episode.
All in all this show perfect fits my needs and I find it very enjoyable.
