Six episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
No show has been so endearingly messy over the last few years as Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which ping pongs between sincere character arcs and Saturday morning cartoon-level slapstick faster than you can say “Columbia House.” That messiness has mostly weighed in creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock’s favor, because the two know how to form some semblance of bedrock familiarity – Kimmy is naive yet strong-willed, Titus is jaded yet optimistic – amid the high-flying insanity.
That’s maybe more evident than ever in the show’s third season, which feels more cohesively satisfying as a consistent story (or the six episodes I’ve seen of it) than anything that’s come before. Although season 1 remains the home of the best gags and season 2 had slightly more focused arcs, season 3 combines these two things into what feels like classic, bingeable, endlessly quotable Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
