    Kimmy's returned even better. The show, I don't how, it's better and... I just love Jane Krakowski, she is amazing, along with the rest of the casting, of course.

    so good and funny! Tina Fey is the comedy queen. i would love see Amy Poehler in some episode. Titus is the best gay chacter since...Always. Netflix has to do a 3 season.

    Last season, I thought that the show's premise, being locked up from 2000-2015 in a bunker, isn't really used in the show and is dropped for a simple "girl from the midwest is coming to New York City".
    I thought it was ok, amusing, sometimes funny, but not really good.
    Well, I gave it another try and my conclusion is: OMG it's gotten much worse.

    I watched 3 episodes and during episode three I simply gave up. The show gave my an actual headache.
    There is so much overacting, yelling and making weird faces.
    There are so many arbitrary subplots crammed together and put in sequence, you think: wth is this?
    Is this show pandering to a "15 and younger" demographic with hyperactivity disorders and no attention span?

    Sure, there's also funny bits to be found, that's why I gave more than one point, but those don't make up for the rest.
    This show is a hectic mess that's all over the place. I can't believe it's got Tina Fey's name on it.
    All the good reviews this show got is a mystery to me.
    I really wanted to like this show, again. I really was prepared to revise my opinion on it.
    But his show is simply unbearable.
    I can't believe people are giving a thumbs up for this big pile of annoying crap.

    Sorry, Tina. And I mean it. But it had to be said.    … Expand

    Kimmy Gets a Second Season! Ellie Kemper is so blissfully perfect as Kimmy, and Titus is funnier than ever. Although I thought Jane Krakowski's character was too close to 30 Rock's Jenna in season one, her character actually grows this season and is not so one note. And Tina Fey's (and her staff of writers) rat-a-tat dialogue is brilliant. One complaint. All the Robert Durst references.Kimmy Gets a Second Season!

Sorry. I could care less about Durst, so as much as I love Fred Armisen, those scenes fell flat. Other than that comedy gold. Those with negative reviews have a serious humor deficiency.… Expand

    I really, really wish this show was funny. I liked the first few episodes of season 1, but then it lapsed into an absolute void of humor.

    Ellie Kemper's Kimmy isn't for everyone, but the rest of this cast of characters -- especially Tituss Burgess and Carol Kane -- are a delight. The writing is smart, tight and exciting. It's a better show that most will give it credit for. If we can't have 30 Rock in its prime back, this will do.

    This show is still very funny and builds off of the plotlines from season 1 while adding completely new plotlines and story arcs that make season 2 even better.

    The second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt offers much the same as its first with rapid fire jokes (some of which land, some of which don’t) and entertaining performances from Ellie Kemper and Titus Burgess in the lead roles. It may not rank as one of my all-time favourite sitcoms but it’s hard to dislike such a joyous show.

    A friend told me about his show because he was concerned about a comedy showing SWAT team members at the opening. He pointed out that it is conditioning for our abusive police state.

    Season 2 was completely unwatchable, but I watched much of it as background TV. What seemed interesting is that Kimmy changed her acting during the season (2/3 the way through?). She went from being a clueless idiot to being serious and far less goofy. Perhaps she responded to someone telling her that her characterization was absurd.

    I find this show highly annoying and completely unfunny. Kimmy and Titus could both be used as torture devices. Her personality is disgusting.    … Expand

    Kimmy is back and delivers even more heart than the first season. The premier episode is probably the funniest of the season, however this season does prove that Kimmy can be as much touching as screwball comedy.

    The first season demonstrated comedy that blended with satire of race and socioeconomic status. This mix worked fairly well, albeit with some overt discrimination. Unfortunately, the 2nd season exploits discrimination, and lacks the same wit and humor that was so natural in its predecessor.

    A better way Kimmy back to its 2 season.
    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is not a series with a great history , but hears a breakthrough compared to the first season, this season we can see most captivating characters in more interesting situations , to talk about the incredible participation of Tina Fey and huge hook final scene ...

    En esta temporada Kimmy deja de ser la chica descubriendo un nuevo mundo para tratar de adaptarse a la sociedad como adulta, primero enfocándose en el trabajo y el amor y luego tratando de conocerse mejor de manera en terapia. Mientras que Titus tiene dramas amorosos, Jacqueline busca un nuevo rol al de esposa trofeo y Lillian intenta mantener el status quo del barrio.
    La primer mitad de la continuación de la serie es bastante irregular, tiene sus momentos, pero en general no tiene ni gracia ni sentido debido a que todos se comportan de forma tan tonta. Tina Fey levanta un poco la calidad de los episodios gracias a su nuevo personaje, Andrea/Marcia, quien devuelve el interés en el desarrollo del personaje de Kimmy Schmidt.
    En general esta temporada es promedio en cuanto a estándares de calidad, tiene sus cosas buenas en la segunda mitad y algunos números musicales de Titus, pero en general se pierde mucho potencial explorando a personajes que apenas tienen carisma en pantalla.    … Expand

    Kimmy gets a little smarter, too, and finds relations outside that circle of new life that embraced her last year.

    Season two of the show is more enjoyable than season one because, for long stretches, it barely remembers what it's about, plot-wise, and enters that trancelike comedy zone where some of the best sketch comedy resides--a place of one-damn-thing-after-another inventiveness.
