Season 4 Review: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has still got it. Kimmy mixes it up with #MeToo, with stellar results. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Its sparkly advertising and spastic, yet effective, humor belie a wit and poignancy that continues to resonate as largely peerless to this day. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Beyond Kimmy's personal issues, Unbreakable continues to highlight some outstanding comedic performances within the ensemble. ... Not every note is in perfect harmony--especially when it comes to the way this season reacts to the way Season 1 was criticized for its depiction of race. Rather than shy away from controversial issues, like Jacqueline's "real" background as a Native American, Season 2 makes that storyline a major focus of the first episode. Read full review

Season 2 Review: What sets the show apart is its tireless, formless, free-flowing pursuit of laughs--and a cast that can ride that wave while also giving some human dimension to what are essentially vaudevillian characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s a smart, funny series, and it’s a relief to know Netflix saved it from what was sure to be terminal neglect had it aired on NBC. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The net effect, though, has a slightly tired feel to it--or at least, one that doesn’t feel wholly worthy of Netflix’s premium-TV niche. Indeed, in terms of laughs, the show essentially peaks in its first few minutes. Read full review

I think they had good intentions here, but they missed the chance.

Kimmy's character being positive 100% of the time goes to a point of being unbearable. Titus character is always playing the victim, but in way that is depressing. And the landlord lady is always high on something, so sheI think they had good intentions here, but they missed the chance.

Titus character is always playing the victim, but in way that is depressing. And the landlord lady is always high on something, so she always speaking nonsense.
The fact that there is always a "Disney-esque" violin music in the background and whenever there is a pun or punchline a "Disney-esque" trumpet sounds like saying this is the joke, you should laugh now, is rather insulting than clever.

The writers did make an effort because they pulled a joke in every opportunity the plot allowed them, but the execution of the jokes are the problem.… Expand
