so random so wacky so funny
23 May 2019
Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) was in the 8th grade when she was kidnapped by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm). She spends the next 15 years in an underground bunker in Indiana with the Reverend and his other captive wives. They are rescued by the police and become media sensations known collectively as the Indiana Mole Women. While doing media in New York, Kimmy leaves the group to strike out on her own. Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane) rents her a basement apartment which she shares with Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess). She starts working for rich Jacqueline White (Jane Krakowski) to care for her stepkids.

It's a funny ridiculous surreal Netflix sitcom. I like Ellie Kemper's unhinged comedy. Titus is the breakout character although he's a bit annoying to me. He's actually mean to Kimmy at first. I'm not in love with the introduction of Jacqueline White although I really like Kimmy's chemistry with the spoiled stepdaughter Xan. It's too bad that Dylan Gelula didn't become a main cast member. The serial aspect gets rambling. There are some really funny stories. There is something to be said about the catchy opening theme which always sets a good mood. It would be nice to settle upon a more set situation in the comedy. So much of this is random. The randomness can be funny but it's also random.
