Rank: 4/5
Season two of the successful comedy series, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” dumped on Netflix April 15 and as said in the opening theme song, the second installment is a “fascinating transition” from the first season.
All 13 episodes of the second season uploaded to Netflix on Friday and customers had the option to view Netflix through Schmidt’s eyes by “Kimmy-fying” their homepages. The “Kimmy-fy” button appeared as an icon near the “My List” option and transformed the webpage into a world of pink and purple sparkles.

The series follows naïve Schmidt as she navigates through life after her recent emancipation from an Indiana doomsday cult. She was held captive as a mole woman for 15 years and following her release, she set out to regain control of her life and moved to New York.
After its first season, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” was nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards and was renewed for a third season before the second even released.
Season two’s premiere episode, “Kimmy Goes Roller Skating,” begins at Christmas but quickly flashes back to three months prior, as viewers aren’t quite up to speed. Viewers will find answers over the next few episodes as this mystery unfolds.
This episode focuses on past relationships— Schmidt’s landlord Lillian Kaushtupper reunites with her summer camp crush Bobby Durst, Schmidt struggles with former love interest’s Dong Nguyen’s green-card marriage, and Titus Andromedon, Schmidt’s best friend and roommate, is forced to make amends with Vonda, the wife he abandoned a few hours into their 1998 marriage.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline White, Schmidt’s friend and employer, tries to make amends with her Native American family. Having Jane Krakowski, a white woman, portray a Native American is a bit risqué but adds to the show’s gimmick and compliments co-creator Tina Fey’s oddball sense of humor.
This episode was mainly supported by Kardashian jokes— shedding light on the fact that if a woman who spent 15 years underground knows about the Kardashians, we all probably know too much.
Season two is just as funny— if not more— as the first and seems to operate under the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality. The jokes come fast and easy, but unlike other sitcoms, don’t seem forced.
While it’s hard to decide if the show is genuinely entertaining, or just so bad that it’s good, viewers can agree that it’s something they want to keep watching.
