Four women are rescued from an underground bunker after being kept in there by a sinister man for fiteen years. Now, that might sound like the plot of a new suspense or dark series, but it's actually the premise of this sitcom.
Ellie Kemper gives life to Kimmy Schmidt, one of the "bunker women". Kept in that place for fifteen years, Kimmy retains her childlike innocence and positive vibe.
The premise is really inventive and kinda odd for a sitcom, but it works. Most episodes are really funny, sometimes in a weird way. Some episodes, I find tiring and bland. All the four main characters are hilarious. Kimmy's sunny aura and naivety to the world is funny. Titus Andromedon's melodramatic reactions are really hilarious, although at times he can be irritating because of his selfishness. Lillian is adorable as the eccentric landlady, and she is also savage! Jacqueline gave me the most laughs on this show. Her socialite frenemy Mimi is also very funny, and I was disappointed when she wasn't in the finale.
The "fairytale" finale is perfect. Everybody got what they want, which is fantastic. Will I miss this? A little...yes.
