Wow. Thank you for writing this! I've had similar thoughts about both shows. I absolutely love Broad City. As a young, white, privileged Jewish woman, it is both familiar and discomforting to watch these 'versions of myself' portrayed on the screen. It would be nice to see a show (or an episode) that addresses the complexities of Jewish identity in a secular culture - interfaith relationships, keeping Shabbat vs. going out to a Friday night concert, etc.
