Broad City offered TV's most visceral Trump-themed episode

The A.V. Club

“Plenty of shows since last November have referenced Trump: The Good Fight, The Bold Type, The Mindy Project, Black-ish, American Horror Story: Cult,” says Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya. “Some of that commentary has been mild and broad (The Mindy Project); some has been fiery and poignant (Black-ish). But few attacks have been as incisive, direct, and visceral as Broad City’s “Witches,” which builds on the season’s existing anti-Trump sentiments, conveyed in just about every episode through protest signs, a pro-Planned Parenthood cold open, and Abbi and Ilana’s general disgust for Trump and nostalgia for Obama. ‘Witches,’ though, puts Trump-related anxiety at the forefront of the narrative.” ALSO: This season has been filled with melancholy and forced maturation.
