I get restless in places after a while, and Nashville was getting a little stale (and humid) for my liking.
Anyway the point is, we just got internet in the house yesterday, so I've missed out on a lot of things.
One thing in particular was Netflix. I was missing Netflix bad.
Needless to say the first thing I did when we got it back was Netflix-related.
I sat down and watched all of the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a new Netflix series created by the fabulous Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (30 Rock).
Being without internet, and isolated here in the mountains, I didn't have much to go on with the show.
I really only became interested when I read the Netflix description of the series. I saw the words "doomsday cult" and was pretty much hooked. The fact that it starred Ellie Kemper and involved Tina Fey only added to my excitement.
The basic premise of the show is that these women were kept in a bunker in Indiana because this preacher claims he was "trying to protect them from lakes of lava" brought on by the end of the world (paraphrasing). Therefore, the world is a lot different then when they first went into the bunker. Kimmy Schmidt has to get her life where she wants it and nothing can break her.
In a nutshell: it's a great empowering, quirky show.
Tina Fey could make a show that's just her staring into the camera for an hour and I'd probably like it. So I may be biased to this show, or anything with her name on it, but I think she's fantastic and a genius. In my opinion everyone needs to see this show.
It's genuinely funny, makes a lot of great references, has great guest cameos, and is reminiscent of a 90s sitcom; which is a good thing in my book!
