Tina Fey’s new show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt debuted on Netflix last yesterday.
Vulture is calling it terrific; Slate is calling it the new 30 Rock. Other reviews describe the show as “delightful but strange even by the standards of 30 Rock” and Ellie Kemper’s performance as “hilarious, advancing perkiness to a comically psychotic level without having Kimmy ever lose her fundamental appeal”.
The Los Angeles Times notes that it is “a series in which 3 of the 4 lead characters are female, of different ages, and the 4th is a gay black man. Because that never happens.”
