12 Netflix Comedy Series EVERYONE Should Binge
3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Another early offering which brought a lot of unsure viewers to the Netflix platform with the promise of Mean Girls scribe Tina Fey’s first new project since the swan song of the brilliant 30 Rock, it’s fair to say the long-awaited Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt didn’t disappoint.
Starring underrated The Office mainstay Ellie Kemper as the titular heroine, the show took what could so easily have been a misjudged premise (remember Lenny Abrahamson’s harrowing 2015 hit Room? Imagine that as a sitcom) and instead balanced cynicism and idealism to great effect, mining both heartwarming charm and big laughs from its supporting cast including the always underrated Jane Krakowski and series stand out Tituss Burgess.
