7 Reasons To Check Out "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"
Netflix is at it again, and this time, it’s taking on sitcoms. Fresh off the success of House of Cards season 3, Netflix started streaming the first season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Here are some of the many reasons why you should start watching Kimmy Schmidt:
1. The Theme Song: Catchiest. Theme. Song. Ever. The Kimmy Schmidt opening playfully mocks the infamous “Hide yo kids, hide yo wife” YouTube video and promises to be stuck in your head for days.
2. The Cast: Lead by The Office and Bridesmaids star Ellie Kemper, the actors–Jane Krakowski, Tituss Burgess and Carol Kane– in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are all giving Emmy-worthy performances.
3. The Power of the Binge: One of the best parts of Kimmy Schmidt? There are 13 episodes waiting for you on Netflix right now. Trust me when I tell you there is no going back after you watch the pilot episode.
4. It’s Different: Have you ever watched a comedy about women being rescued from a cult’s underground bunker? I didn’t think so. Kimmy Schmidt‘s ability to make light of a terrible situation is part of what makes the show so hilarious.
5. NYC: There’s nothing like a show set in New York City. Get your fix of Time Square, Upper East Side parties and the fountain from the Friends’ theme.
6. Tina Fey: As a creator, producer and writer for the show, Tina Fey’s comedy is all over this sitcom. If you’re someone who re-watches Mean Girls and Tina’s SNL sketches, you will be all about The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The comedian even shows up in the flesh for the last few episodes of the season!
7. Kimmy Schmidt: Move over Liz Lemon, Jessica Day and Mindy Lahiri, Kimmy is the new leading lady we are dying to hang out with. Kimmy’s naive sense of humor and her positive up-for-anything attitude is laugh-out-loud funny.
