    This is easily the worst show I've ever viewed in my entire life. I may have laughed a total of one or two times. It was so painfully boring and not very creative at all. Just people saying random, outlandish things out of context. Do not watch this mindless show.

    Simply not funny. This show follows hackneyed stereotypes in search of laughs that fade within the first ten minutes. The funniest part about it is the comedicly bad acting.

    Tina Fey is too good a writer to be this lazy. Simply spouting pop culture references where jokes are supposed to be is cheap, lazy and stupid comedy writing. She is so much better than this garbage.

    Not quite unbearable Kimmy Schmidt but approaching that level of discomfort. The 30 Rock vibe gives it a "been there, done that" feel. The cult background just feels unnecessary and distracting not unlike one of those awkward and unfunny SNL sketches that go on and on and on. Krakowski is reprising her unfunny Jenna character here, too NBC made the right choice in shipping this highlyNot quite unbearable Kimmy Schmidt but approaching that level of discomfort.

It would have been ratings challenged on the network like every other NBC sitcom in recent years… Expand

    I apologize for an earlier review where I gave this show a 1. I admit now I was wrong - it should have been a "0" like this one. I lied and watched one more show based on the recommendation of someone whose taste I thought I could trust. I hated the second episode more than the first.

    Pretty much shockingly bad. I can't imagine anyone with a brain liking this. Is it made for kids or something? I would rather read a book, than watch this garbage.

    Like many newbie sitcoms, Kimmy Schmidt stumbles, at times, to find its tone--and, with thirteen episodes launched at once, it doesn’t have the freedom to rejigger itself.... When it comes to jokes about trauma, however, the show takes more risks.

    Creators Fey and Carlock instill Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt with the infectious positivity of their title character, who won’t give up, no, she’ll never give up. Still, her hard knocks life starts taking its toll in later episodes, draining some of Kimmy’s ebullience and replacing it with a little petulance. The sunny side up Kimmy is much preferable.

    The result, like “30 Rock,” is another sharply written, often offbeat, endearing and funny comedy.
