! For some reason, I thought it had been cancelled after S4 - thanks for posting!
That was a delightful season opener.

I thought this was pretty amazing. This felt like an episode of Broad City only moreso with the "story" gimmick. There was that tiny moment of Ilana going to find Abbi in the bathroom at the restaurant and seeing her "birthday blues" that felt so exactly true to their friendship. It was perfectly understated and sweet all at the same time. The only misgiving I had was some of the "on the street" filming looked so real to me, I thought it might be using regular people. After reading a review of the episode, it doesn't sound like that happened at all.

Broad City And The Pivot To Millenial Rage, Sonia Saraiya - "The Comedy Central sitcom made hustle funny for five seasons. As it ends, it asks why we have to hustle at all."
