A group of comedian events gathered in a third drama season of the series 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' where a surprise visitor handed over divorce papers to Kimmy. Jacqueline comes up with a plan to get Ross's father to rename the Indians. Kimi makes a splash at the Columbia University while odd jobs are being done to save up for the college. 'Titus' sings a controversial musical backup.
Three seasons in, Kemper's performance has become remarkably nuanced for such a slapsticky, cartoonish creation, and Kimmy Schmidt herself is starting to look like the indomitable figure that the title's "unbreakable" was always meant to signify.
Still, if you're a fan of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, as I am, you won't come out fully disappointed. The show still has its usual wacky appeal, dialed-up performances, and rapid-fire jokes that come and go so quickly that they all but require a rewatch.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 3 doesn't break the mold... It doesn't make us weep or ask ourselves deep existential questions. It does, however, make us laugh. And thank Jeepers for that.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt may be shifting away from its roots in Kimmy's specific repression... but the show is fighting even harder against the patriarchy as a whole. These women are flat-out exceptional, and not just the ones in front of the camera.
The show's writers never hesitate to acknowledge just how aware they are that they're essentially building a joke machine, while also telling a story that is more than a delivery system for punch lines.
This is a series with the confidence to go deep on its main characters while delivering rapid-fire quips and visual gags (Roy Cohn Community College!). It's a triumphant return.
