The Netflix comedy that captured everyone’s heart is back this weekend, with 13 ready-to-binge episodes.
Season 2 of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, continues the story of Kimmy Schmidt, who recently moved to New York after being rescued from an underground cult.
Season 2 lives up to the first season in every way, with funny and quotable jokes, smart storylines and an extremely talented cast.
This season mostly deals with Kimmy finding an equilibrium in New York and not as much with her escaping her captor.
Sadly, the first half of the season shows Kimmy’s friends beginning to take advantage of her kindness, as well as a boring subplot of Kimmy pining for a fellow GED classmate.
The ending of this subplot is completely unsatisfying and proves to be some of the most boring scenes of the season.
The second half of Season 2 gives a new depth to Kimmy and her interactions with her new psychiatrist, played by Fey.
This explores some skeletons not yet revealed in Season 1. It also helps Ellie Kemper, who plays Schmidt, play her happy and extravagant self with some troubling layers.
As in Season 1, Titus Burgess is a genius actor. He delivers his jokes on the spot and on point and he even gets a nice relationship story, which ends better than Kimmy’s. We also find Jacqueline getting over her divorce, resulting in a lot of shenanigans.
There is a lot more musical numbers this season, which is a lot considering the vast amount of scenes in Season 1.
Season 2 is an amazing follow-up to Season 1 and it will be exciting to see where Season 3 goes.
