“Unbreakable, they alive dammit!” These are the opening lyrics of the theme for the hilarious Netflix series, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt written by Tina Fey that get my heart racing. That combined with the upbeat drum and the swat team member’s hand that seems to pop out of the screen reaching towards me makes me fall in love again with each episode!
No, I am not crazy. But the characters in one of the greatest shows to ever be filmed certainly are. Each season of the comedy contains 13 episodes, and while some are over in a flash, others seem more extravagant in production and hilarious as you go on.
The first season took me about a month to fully watch (twice) and digest. Then, they made me wait a full year to finally continue onto the second season, which satisfied my itch after an intense cliffhanger.
After I finished the second season, which felt at most two seconds long and ended on another monumental cliff-hanger, I had to wait another year for season three! Obviously, you can tell how dedicated I am to this show.
Why? Because each season introduces new love interests, hilariously outrageous conflicts, and a Titus Andromedon music video.
In my opinion, the third season was the funniest out of the three because in seasons past, not all of the characters were equally funny. Titus would usually be the only one whose jokes made me LOL. But thankfully, everyone has material that makes not only me, but my family as well, laugh.
So here’s the low-down [SPOILER ALERT!]: Titus covers songs from Beyonce’s Lemonade album like “Hold Up” and “All Night” after breaking up with his first love and getting scurvy. Kimmy goes to traffic school to become a crossing guard but can’t because she is married to her kidnapper and Lillian becomes the local representative and falls in love with the guy whose reputation and career she is trying to destroy. And Jacqueline gets married to her comatose boyfriend and changes the Redskins offensive name and logo.
This is also the season with the most innuendos referring to real-life conflicts such as unwanted deurbanization, racism in sports leagues, and the many definitions and practices of feminism in college.
Overall, despite the final cliff hanger of Kimmy getting an amazing job at a new successful business, I think this season was a complete success, even if Nia disagrees with me.
