Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 1 Review

Preface

  • Ironically the entire first season of this show was available on the same day in March.
  • Completely contrary to that, here’s my review of it three months late!
  • But nevertheless, Kimmy Schmidt is a super quirky, likable, and FUNNY show that dropped its first season on Netflix a few months ago.
    • Yeah I’ll have that Daredevil Review to you guys three months late too…

Premise

  • So Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is, as I said, a Netflix show originally ordered by NBC (more on that later) which seems kind of strange that a network would order a show of this premise.
  • The show is about a young woman, Kimmy Schmidt, who has been in underground captivity with fellow members of a cult for the past 15 years or so.
  • Then she’s rescued and decides to head to New York, because since she doesn’t really fit into modern society she might as well go to the place where no one really fits in.
  • Then from there we go into her different escapades in the city including romances, school, jobs, and more.
  • And it’s one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in a long while.

Better Call Saul Season 1 Review

Preface

  • Welcome back to TV Time on My Movie Thoughts.
  • But this show I’m reviewing? In 10 episodes, Better Call Saul has earned its spot as my favorite show currently on TV. Seriously.

Premise

  • Better Call Saul is a prequel series to Breaking Bad, and follows the crooked lawyer Saul Goodman, before he was Walt and Jesse’s lawyer.
  • But honestly, you don’t need to have watched Breaking Bad to start watching/loving this show, because this show is not remotely like Breaking Bad.
  • And don’t worry, no spoilers lie here.

Parks and Recreation Review

Preface

  • Here’s a quote I’ve coined. “The least important thing in making a comedy is having it be funny.”
  • With that, let’s discuss.

Premise

  • Parks and Recreation is an NBC sitcom that started in 2009 and completed its run just a few weeks ago.
  • It’s about workers at the Parks and Recreation department in the small town of Pawnee, Indiana and all the triumphs or lack thereof they may or may not accomplish.
  • And well. It’s kinda good. Kinda?

30 Rock Review

Preface

  • TV reviews, friends. LOTS and lots of TV show reviews are coming your way!
    • Since this is My ‘Movie’ Thoughts, I’ve been limiting my number of TV show reviews over the past few months, but this is one that I wanted to talk about.
    • And yeah, I’m struggling to watch as much Parks and Recreation as I can before that finale (it looks like I might get to the middle of Season 3?), but a review for that will hit in the next month or so.
    • And a Better Call Caul Review, more on that this weekend!
  • But let’s spend some time talking about this unique show!
