Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015) - Season 1

About this episode

The episode discusses Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, exploring character dynamics and themes of survival in a comedic context.

How would you survive if you had to live in a bunker? Find out as we discuss Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. We're gonna be honest, this conversation wanders a little bit but we still have fun! This show is just so fun and happy, which is a little odd considering the rather serious subject matter. We love how all of the characters are written. Especially Kimmy. It would be very easy to make her just an idiot. But while she's naive, she is not stupid. The one thing we do wonder about is Jane Krakowski's character being written as a Native American. We're sure there's a reason for it, but that storyline may not have aged as well as some of the others. Why isn't Ellie Kemper in more things? As the lead? She's amazing and we love her. Next month, it's spooky season so we're heading back to the world of Anne Rice and watching Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire! It's available on Netflix as of September 30th, but is currently available on Hoopla. (Support your local library!!)
