Netizens Spot the Similarities
As soon as the trailer hit the internet, social media exploded with reactions and netizens were quick to point out the similarities between “Call Me Bae” and the American sitcom “2 Broke Girls”. You know, the one where two sassy women navigate life’s ups and downs while dreaming of something bigger? Yup, that’s the vibe people are getting.
But wait, there’s more! Some viewers also compare “Call Me Bae” to “Schitt’s Creek”—another beloved show about a rich family that loses everything and has to start over in a not-so-glamorous place. And then there are the “Emily in Paris” comparisons, mostly because of the fabulous outfits and the journey of self-discovery in a bustling city. One fan even quipped, “It’s like “Emily in Paris” had a desi cousin, and I’m here for it!”
Netizens comment
Social media is on fire with fans sharing their thoughts. On Instagram, one user commented, “Very 2 broke girls+Schitt creek ka sasta version,” with another writing, “I immediately thought of 2 broke girls. Her character is definitely inspired from there,”
Followed by “Yess! I won’t be surprised if there are scenes copied from these shows. Looks very much like 2 Broke Girls and Emily in Paris”.
