Broad City – “Burning Bridges”
While this season didn’t bring as many consistent laugh out loud moments as its previous two, season three of Broad City was still uniformly strong. It’s best episode however was “Burning Bridges” as Ilana has to come to the realization that not all of her relationships-or lack thereof-will stay in the stagnant position she’s willed them into. Lincoln isn’t able to keep her in his life after he is in a committed, monogamous relationship, and that crushes her to a point that we haven’t ever seen the character. For the majority of the season we watched as it was Abbi that was making strides in her personal and professional life as the usually confident Ilana floundered, demonstrated in her genuinely sexy relationship with Trey until she was too insecure to move forward with. “Burning Bridges” was the reminder that even when the romantic relationships in their lives aren’t going as planned, Ilana and Abbi will always have one another at the end of a long day, and really, Broad City is at its best when it’s prime focus is on the sweet and sometimes odd dynamic between these two dysfunctional women. -Allyson Johnson
