Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 2: 6 Things You Need To Know
6. Kimmy Was Made For Christmas
The plot of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 2, as far as the title character is concerned anyway, sees Kimmy getting a job in a year-round Christmas shop.
Much like the rest of the series, it sounds a bit of a daft concept, but also like the rest of the series it manages to pull it off, thanks to its typical way of approaching things with a beaming smile and a 'can-do' attitude. And really, while this might not work on any other show, Kimmy is pretty much made for Christmas. Both are sweet and happy, brightly coloured and over the top, and bring a lot of joy to us - Kimmy Schmidt working in a Christmas shop just makes sense, and giving her a proper job outside of Jacqueline gives her a chance to really develop on her own.
Other key plots in the early goings include Jacqueline struggling to maintain her 'white privilege' image, now that she's divorced from Julian and *only* received $12m in the split. It manages to bring more depth to the character, and you can actually start to empathise with her character.
Titus, meanwhile, continues his quest to be a star, but also begins a new relationship, which is a promising development - again, it's a way of showing off more emotion for the character, a chance to understand him better and why he is this person.
The first season of Kimmy wasn't massively plot driven, at least not until the final few episodes, and I'd say this one isn't either - Tina Fey and Robert Carlock have massively changed things now they're actively writing the show for Netflix - but it does push along a bit more in Season 2, rather than the more standalone episodes of Season 1.
