'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Missed The Mark With Its Season Finale

Netflix has finally released the final season of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." This season is different from the other seasons due to its extremely obvious social commentary. The show tackles topics pertinent to today's issues from the Me Too Movement to social media data mining. Be warned, there are spoilers ahead!

In the previous season, Titus auditions for a part in a "Sesame Street" parody where he's sexually harassed by a puppet. The puppet was an obvious allusion to Harvey Weinstein as it alludes to all the heinous acts he's committed to aspiring actresses. Titus fears coming out to the public about the ordeal since the director is able to ruin his life due to his connections similar to Weinstein. I thought that this part of the season was a good addition to the show, but it seemed to be blown off. It was a big deal for a few minutes, but then it never really gets resolved. That might be because the issue is still prominent, but as a comedy, it seemed a bit dark.

Another big joke of the season was at the cost of millennials. It was honestly cringy to what extent they went to to make fun of the generation that's probably watching the show. The show portrayed millennials as snobby, over-sensitive kids. One of the plots of the episode was that millennial males are dating older females since they are less likely to be offended by flirting. This was a complete miss for me as it wasn't funny and didn't really add to the plot. Another subplot was about the daughter who was spoiled since she never took responsibility for her actions. It felt like the show was trying too hard to be relatable to the younger demographic, but they completely missed the mark.

Although the season ended with a happy note, I didn't really enjoy most of it. I almost stopped watching after the second episode, but I continued since I just wanted to finish what I started.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
