Street-wise Max (Kat Dennings) doesn't expect much from the new waitress at her night job, a rich girl who has reluctantly joined the food service industry after a string of bad luck. But to her surprise, Caroline (Beth Behrs) is a woman of substance and just may be her ticket to success. The two strike up an unlikely friendship after Caroline discovers that Max can bake a mean cupcake, and the women decide if they can just wrangle up the start-up cash, they may have found their big break. Their co-workers at the diner are boss Han Lee, cook Oleg and cashier Earl.

Critics Consensus

Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs have undeniable chemistry, and although 2 Broke Girls is at times is bogged down by predictable jokes, this old-fashioned odd couple sitcom is rich with laughs.

For every million middle-America viewers that tune in, there'll be one hundred liberal elite types scratching their heads wondering what drug they're putting in Hungry-Man dinners for people to find this funny... I guess I fall somewhere in the middle. Go to Full Review Kelsey Wallace Bitch Media 01/08/2021
The only progress I see is that this show is called 2 Broke Girls instead of 2 Broke Guys, and that's certainly not enough to get me to watch next week's episode. Go to Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Magazine/Vulture 09/26/2018
While Kat Dennings can surl with the surliest of all surlsters, she and Beth Behrs play off each other extremely well - which is why it would be nice to see them work as a team, or at least drop the constant sniping. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/24/2020

In a nutshell, there's nothing 'creative' about 2 Broke Girls, and to consider it one of the worst sitcoms of the last twenty years wouldn't be a stretch at all. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 10/03/2018
There's quite a bit of potential with the show if only you could mute the laugh tracks, erase the setting, dispose of the character stereotypes, get rid of everyone else on the show and basically isolate Kat Dennings. Go to Full Review Simon Cunliffe TV Equals 10/03/2018
The jokes are a lot racier than you'll find on other shows and they can be hit and miss but the show is not boring and it has so much potential. I'm still very much a fan. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Glyn H @RT48658429 Mar 23 Love this show. It's crass, foul mouthed and hilarious and Max has some of the best piss yourself one-liners on TV. And I love the critics hate this. Of course they do! :-D See more Victoria B. @tortor00056 Feb 21 I miss this show so much! Wished it kept going See more Leilani K @Mimi101 Dec 12 Classic jokes and timeless See more love H. @horrorfan123 Nov 9 I love this beginning season. See more Liam P @RT37532406 Aug 31 These jokes are crass and repetitive, lacking irony or style. They feel like ‘Black Books’ written by an AI with brain damage.
