    I watched about seven episodes of season 1 and then quit. When I saw that season 2 was released, I wanted to give it another try.

    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

    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. The writers seem to think that having characters say and do outrageous, ridiculous things moment to moment is funny. How is that funny in itself? There needs to something clever, no?

    I would just like to sit with all the users and the critics who rate this so highly and see if they actually laugh. And if they do, I'd like them to try to explain it to me so I can diagnose their malady.    … Expand

    First season got an idiotic wit to itself it was almost genius (the Olsen's joke for instance).

    Honestamente no se lo que haya la critica en esta serie... entiendo que sea algo creativo en cuanto a historia pero en su ejecución esta comedia debió haber salido en los 90 (Aunque de ser así sus referencias no serían nostalgicas).

    Desde la primer temporada no se avanza mucho, los personajes apenas se desarrollan y tienden a andar en círculos, continuando con su humor barato que es posible gracias a que el universo donde se desarrolla "Unbrekable Kimmy Schmidt" esta conformado por una humanidad estúpida.
    Le doy puntos debido a que hubo un episodio que si me gustó "Kimmy Gives up!", que es robado por la banda sonora interpretada por Titus (Tituss Burgess).    … Expand

    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.

    That aside, season 1 was amusing, though Titus gets old fast. Season 2 was completely unwatchable, but I watched much of it as background TV.

    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 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.

    In season two, much of the same goofiness that killed you in season one is back.
