    Look....I wanted to like this show...I really did. I thought the first season was pretty solid, the second season has some issues but I thought it was okay. But this season...broke me. I didn't even finish it. I got halfway done with the season before I gave up when they made horrible jokes about feminism and progressive values and left-wing politics before I shouted **** YOU" at myLook....I wanted to like this show...I really did. I thought the first season was pretty solid, the second season has some issues but I thought it was okay. But this season...broke me. I didn't even finish it. I got halfway done with the season before I gave up when they made horrible jokes about feminism and progressive values and left-wing politics before I shouted **** YOU" at my monitor when the show called Millenials a bunch of babies that need to be told what to do by their moms because they're special snowflakes.

    I got triggered by the smugness of Tina Fey basically.

    While Ellie Kemper is great as the titular role (even if she's playing Erin from the Office again) and Jane Krakowski is energetic and charasmatic as ever (even if she's playing Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock again) and the show does have the occasional funny joke, all the problems with this show comes from the same problems a Tina Fey project usually has. Awkward reference humor, even more awkward attempts at jokes about feminism, ethnicity, sexuality, and any attempt at political humor really, and this smug sense of knowing that this material is gold when really it's just hit or miss material. Again I wanted to like this show, but it's hard to like a show where a white actress is supposed to play a Native American character while making jokes about how stupid a football team is named the Red Skins. I get why people like this show and I don't mean to take it away from anyone, but I'm just fed up with this show and all the constant praise it gets. I've hit my limit basically.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving it a 6 for the continued comic genius of fey and carlock , they've found a way to poke fun and be in bed with: the mainstream liberal, democratic snowflakes, the 1%, current college culture, feminism, race, and gayness. And while much of this was really a retort to the backlash of criticism from previous seasons, they captured and presented it beautifully on a platter.
    But about a quarter of the way in, I noticed the storyline lacking; dilemma's presented themselves, but they were solved as if we knew what had transpired and repeatedly I was left wondering if I had missed something. Given the strong writing by Fey in the past, this could be just bad editing, or it could be that the priority was not on the protagonists and their personal journeys but the jabs (albeit funny as hell) at the current climate and the poking a stick at the dead horse known as its critics.
    Regardless of my disappointment nothing will ever compare to Titus' Lemonading. which was a thing of beauty.    … Expand

    Jon hamm is a magnificent higlight as the charismatic psychopath. the show delivers 30 minutes of joy with each episode. The script is as smart as ever, and this time around Kimmy goes to college. Her path is full of obstacles, but she remains Unbreakable. Worth the binge-watching.

    Fey and Carlock constantly keep audience members on their toes, thrusting ideas that sound so wacky they’d never work. And yet they do.

    The show still has its usual wacky appeal, dialed-up performances, and rapid-fire jokes that come and go so quickly that they all but require a rewatch. ... But through the first half of Season 3, there’s just the sense that the show could use a shake-up—some dramatic turns to keep its core dynamics interesting.

    The first half of the season (which is what was available to critics): the show is extremely clever, but not particularly funny.
