Netflix: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Discussion Thread

[sungrey]

NBC may have done this show a big favor. I'm a huge fan of Ellie Kemper and was looking forward to this.

It's clear many of the same idiots running daytime are now infecting primetime.

Andy Ridings who played JR on AMC between Jonathan Bennett & Jacob Young is also in this series.

Netflix please make Jane Krakowski a series regular!!!

[Mr. Vixen]

So did nobody watch this? I just finished watching it for the second time. I am absolutely obsessed. This cast is absolutely incredible.

Did you agree with the criticisms some had about racism?

I watched it and just finished it! I've been staggering it out for months because it was so brilliant and I didn't want to let it go. I loved it (and I didn't see any racism, no - its message about the character in question is clear) and it got me through a very long, hard year.

 

Also: Jane Krakowski was a series regular from the beginning (as was Carol Kane).

people find anything to complain now a days, sad world we live in.

 

i honestly can't wait for season two.  it will be better since the first season was shot while still under NBC, season two is under Netflix's terms. They do a WAY better job on comedies than network TV.

[Vee]

I'm just glad I finally finished it relatively close to the release of Season 2 (spring 2016, apparently). I can't imagine waiting a full year.

[DRW50]

If anything people tend not to complain enough...

[Darn]

No matter how much you might develop a character he was still introduced with really antiquated jokes about...Dongs and Chinese delivery. It was very questionable but not surprising, it's sort of Tina Fey's brand to use that type of really base humor when writing any character really.

 

But that said, I absolutely LOVE this show. So much. I was thinking of re-watching the series just because it makes me so happy, it's so joyfully dark. 

 

Pinot noir! Mid-sized car! What a treasure Tituss Burgess is.

[Vee]

I think Carl's referring to something else, depending on where they are in the show.

 

TItus is great. "Oh, Carol! Why?!"

[Vee]

Already renewed for Season 3.

[gtru1981]

i just saw that, so happy. Loved the first season, thank you Netflix!

Someone should move this thread back to Primetime Oxides since it isn't airing on NBC.
