Review of Broke

Broke (I) (2020)
6/10
Why so much hate?
22 May 2020
This show is definitely not great, not even that good, but to be rated 1 across the board by people that have no taste and watch and love absolute garbage... it defies understanding. Sure it's got a laugh track, so do lots of shows that should be rated one and are yet rated well by these same people. Most of the jokes are predictable - just like every attempted comedy show on now. The difference? Some of these jokes can actually make me crack a smile. There are only two reasons I can see that it engenders so much hate; 1) It makes an unabashed mockery of fake pretentious people. As so many aspire to be like those people these days, it hits far too close to home for them not to lash out. 2) What ever is going on with Pauley's mouth is either worse than before or harder to ignore as she has aged out of her Abbey cuteness.

I hold shows to a higher standard than most, and I give this a solid 5+, which far higher than I'd give most of the popular "comedy" "efforts" produced in the past decade. Honestly, if I smile ONCE, a comedy is a cut above the rest, and this show has pulled several from me over 8 episodes. Am I waiting in anticipation for the next ep? Wow no lol but will I likely get around to watching it? Probably.. I guess, not much out there to choose from
