Why it’s a Saturday Special

People are still talking about it, it won an Emmy and it held a wide audience for several seasons. A strong pick for the weekend.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Superstore or Brooklyn Nine-Nine, start here.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 6 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Comedy about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different young women who meet waitressing at a diner in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and form a bond over one day owning their own successful cupcake business. Only one thing stands in their way – they’re broke.
