Broad City was such a great NYC show because they were broke and their lives were still fun, wild, and spontaneous. That's what New York is. It's not easy, but it is entertaining.
This is not to say that anyone who watches love island is subject to brainwashing. But I am saying its a very low form of media that influences its viewers after it slack-jaws them with a bunch of the things those idiots on the show say
I have nothing but terrible things to say about Love Island as a franchise. What it has done to cultural programming is beyond insane. That show is as deep as a drop of water, and it has done more than hold a mirror up to its viewers.
The behaviors on shows like that and that ridiculous Natalie Nunn show, can no longer be described as entertaining when people are adopting those personalities and talking points. If a dumbfounded show can turn your brain to complete mush, you don't think it can mold viewers?
