A new sitcom debuted this week on Global: “Broke”, starring “NCIS” fan favourite Pauley Perrette, her first TV endeavour since leaving the role of goth-attired lab tech Abby Sciutto after 15 seasons.
Perrette is back in a new role, playing suburban single mom Jackie, whose world is upended when her sister (Natasha Leggero of “Dice”) and her sister’s ridiculously wealthy husband Javier (Jaime Camil, “Jane the Virgin”) turn up on her doorstep, with Javier’s fiercely loyal assistant/driver/friend in tow.
They reveal that Javier’s rich family has cut him off, and they’re completely out of money; with no place to live, they ask to move in with Jackie.
