CONVINCINGLY DRAWN friendships are essential to any good television show. They create continuity and foster running jokes; they help viewers to understand what makes characters tick. Yet platonic relationships rarely drive the narrative. “Seinfeld” focused on the absurdities of modern life rather than how friendships make them bearable.
Perhaps as a result of its origins in standalone online episodes, “Broad City” does not follow typical narrative arcs. Episodes would still make sense if watched out of order. There are no plotlines that must be closely observed, though there are jokes that recur . There is a supporting cast of characters, including a smelly housemate and a casual boyfriend, but they are never as bright, bold or important as the two protagonists.
Their friendship is elevated to the status of romantic love, albeit in a funny way. One episode features a montage depicting Abbi and Ilana in their separate bathrooms . They are variously using the toilet, smoking weed, getting ready, taking a pregnancy test, eating half of the same Valentine’s Day chocolate box, sleeping and even having sex. The scene ends with them picking up their phones at the same time and leaving, presumably to meet one another. They are together even when they are apart.
