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.
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.

Always Makes Me Smile
There seems to be an awful lot of hate for this award nominated and sometimes winning series. It's not for prudes, that is for sure, but if you can let go of your hangups for a while, you might enjoy it quite a bit. The overall star-rating seems to be better than the reviews, so I'm speaking up here, and others who like the series should as well. We are not well represented in the review section.
There are rapid-fire one-liners that you'll miss if you're not paying attention. There is also a tendency to cross boundaries that it seems many are more comfortable on the other side of. Sometimes there are poignant scenes that will draw a tear or two, once you get to know the characters. These girls are fiercely loyal to one another, when it comes down to brass tacks.
Some of the physical comedy is great. Kat Dennings does some that is effective, but I think Beth Behrs really pulls out the stops sometimes!
Sure it's a smart, raunchy comedy, and a funny one too. It's also a tale of two pretty young ladies trying their damnedest to wrench a modest living out of a hard city for all but the elite. They hang onto hope of a better life by their dream of exploiting the character Max's skill at baking delicious cupcakes, and Caroline's Wharton business education and talents into their own business one day.
I didn't think I'd like it at all from the ads and teasers, but then watched an episode on TV, as a rerun, when there was nothing else on. I binge-watched the entire series, over time, and now keep up with the current episodes when they first air.
I really enjoy following their journey toward success, and you just might too, if you can relax and go with the roller coaster flow that is "2 Broke Girls".
Let's face it, it's not like an Oscar-winning movie, but for what it is, it is very worthy entertainment.

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.
Good, but not that good
If not for the lack of common sense of the director and the editor, I would have enjoyed this series a lot more. One big complaint I have is that these two girls and the other cast always talk very loudly and very evidently within the earshot of other cast/ characters on the screen. Be it small gossip, a complaint, or even talking behind their back, secretive and non-secretive alike, they always talk loudly as if all other people including themselves are kinda DEAF.
Apart from this major major flaw, the series can be fun to watch for some people. The concept of 2 broke girls in a big city chasing their dreams whilst having fun can be inspiring and spread a little joy for the viewers.
