Synopses: Kimmy Schmidt is a mole woman from Durnsville, IN. After interviewing in New York about her 15 year ordeal and release, Kimmy decides to stay in New York and see if she can make it. Out-of-the-times Kimmy finds a place, love and battles her nemesis, the reverend, in tacky style and humor.
Overall: This series had me laughing and cringing, sometimes in the same episode. The stereotypes are blatant, un-refreshing and sometimes left me asking "whhhhhat?". The cringing really broke out when Tina Fey made a cameo later in the show. The jokes were beyond lame, I'm sure the intent, but just turned me off completely. The rest of the story was being underwhelmed by it. I liked the original idea of the show, and it flowed well enough but there just wasn't enough consistency in the humor to make it a hit IMO. Mostly I stuck to it because the opener is so damn catchy, dammit.
Future: Left off at a cliffhanger for obvious reasons but it mostly feels wrapped up. If not a huge success, which I haven't researched yet, this will definitely die quickly. Being a Netflix original doesn't forsake the show but it isn't getting points for it. I think I heard a rumor it was going to be picked up by a real TV channel but I don't think it will go off well.
W/N: Not.
