On Kimmy Schmitt

Unbreakable the tv show, created by Tina Fey and her husband, acted by Jane Krakowski, one of Fey's co-stars from the amazing 30 Rock, whose main actors include Ellie Kepmer [Erin from the Office] and Titus Burgess who plays Tituss [he's played the same character with the name and all in a couple of other productions] is a pretty good tv show. It's about a young woman who escapes from a creepy religio-cultist moves to NYC and lives with a loving roommate and a crazy landlady. I watched the first series -- season for Americans, don't know why I'm calling them series now, guess it's got to do with the fact that American 'seasons' are 22+ episodes while British ones are much shorter so it feels more 'right' to call them series -- right as it released many years ago. I missed 30 rock, I missed the office and the golden era of tv comedies. It was a pretty good show it didn't entice me enough to follow the later seasons.

Several months ago I caught the new choose-your-own-story movie produced by Netflix, based on the series. I made it to twenty minutes maybe, no complaints, didn't know enough about the later seasons to understand what was happening and how Kimmy had ended up getting engaged to --spoilers-- and planning on marrying, Daniel Radcliffe who plays a British royalty of some sorts. It was too weird, to tiring to make the decisions when I didn't know the proper context, so I gave up.

JD and AD have been watching the series throughout. They're in the final few episodes of the final season of the series and I watched a few episodes with them in the last two days. It's not bad, at all, can get rather funny at times. It's too quirky for me though and I can't see Krakowski in any other role besides Jenna from 30 Rock. She plays a much -- maybe not thaaat much but certainly accounting for real years -- older person here, and it doesn't feel right.

Still, some solid episodes in there I see. If you're looking for a low-key series to start, this is a good one, despite a very heavy premise.
