2 Broke Girls (CBS) is a comedy about two very different girls, and when I say different I am not just talking about their looks, I mean language upbringing everything very much the opposite of each other. This idea has been kinda done to death as well a show about two opposites but of course its been done to death because it always seems to work.
I was sceptical about this show before it started, from all the promos I thought it would be obvious jokes and humour and be easy watching but nothing else but I can honestly say that I am excited to see next week and I think the countdown or count up of money right at the end makes it more exciting too.
The pilot starts off showing the basic life of Max, and well introducing us the audience to her humour and the characters she interacts with. It doesnt take long for the audience to realise shes hard (hard as in you wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side of her because she will put you down so badly with her words) and that she works hard as well, doesn't take any of the shiz thrown at her but also knows when to roll with the punches (grabbing sauce from behind co-workers having sex).
Then we meet the other half of the 2 broke girls with Caroline Channing, I've put in her surname because well we learn it almost instantaneously when Max discovers who she really is. Caroline comes in with this amazing resume that said she has been a waitress at many a prestigious restaurant which of course makes Max curious about her but after minutes of talking to her discovers she has had waitress experience and that she is in fact the daughter of an Upper East Side fraudster and so has basically been shunned from money and society. I didn't think Caroline would have a sarcastic side but she holds her won against Max and almost puts her in her place which leads Max to tell Caroline more about herself than she usually does to new people.
Both girls have their own smarts as well, Max makes delicious cupcakes for the diner but because of her lack of confidence doesn't know she can charge more for them, which of course is when Caroline comes in with the genius plan of saving up money to build a cupcake business together since she has had the fancy business school education. This idea works itself into the closing credits when we have the counting of money to show at the end of each episode how much money they have now saved, Caroline says it will take a year to get the $250,000 so that's the aim.
The supporting cast are really kept in the sidelines but the good thing is we don't need more focus on them because both leads are enjoyable to watch, but the supporting team do bring the laughs we have the chef Oleg, the 'recently or not so recently immigrant from China who wishes to be more like the neighbourhood' boss of the diner Bryce (formally Han) Lee, the I don't actually know what he does but he site at the front of the diner maybe he is the music man but his name is Earl and he seem to be rather cool, and to finish it off the other boss who is a society housewife in Manhattan Peach who is the worst stereotype of bimbo housewife which makes it tragically funny.
I will be sticking with the comedy, its a good companion piece for How I Met Your Mother plus its another show abased in one of my favourite cities in the world NYC! So here is a promo below check it out and see if you would like to enjoy it too:
