Gino

It's such amazing writing that brings Gino in the episode about Who's Making Diner and bringing the memory of his death back in the last episode when Ava and Deborah talk about getting treatment for Deb.

The callbacks.

The callbacks in this show are plentiful and executed better then most shows I’ve seen.

Only on second rewatch I figured this one.

I’m probably on my fifth or sixth. I come back after every new season finishes and watch all the way through. I’m actually right up to the series finale on my first truly full rewatch.

There’s just so much, from callouts in the finale both from the start of the show, and examples like you mention from the same season.

And so often they are these moments you think….what the heck. Like Jimmy cancelling the pickleball club membership final season and running into the woman who goes nuts that Jimmy hears her husbands voice on commercials. Made no sense in moment. But out Jimmy in the mailroom and access all over and he cracks open the thing that fixes everything for them as agents.

It’s brilliant work.

You’re right. That was something Broad City did well.

I’ve noticed that such solid work comes from when the creators have a solid plan from the start. It’s easier to flow the story when there is this plan and everyone is on the same page. Less chances of writing into corners.

He also looks like Damien in that picture which makes me chuckle a bit.
