There was undoubtedly a significant amount of hype surrounding the release of season 2 “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” but sadly like many sequels this season was a disappointment in comparison to the wildly successful pilot season.

During the first season, Netflix viewers were introduced to the classical story of a small town girl vs the big city in an unusual but entertaining way.

I would go as far to say some of the content of the first season was pretty groundbreaking. Tina Fey and the other creators shed light on some present issues that are very hard to address in daily conversation.

The satirical way in which some of the hardest topics such as racism, homophobia and immigration were presented definitely reflected Fey’s Saturday Night Live background.

In the second season, it was clear that there were many good concepts however they were left unfinished. Similar to the first season rough topics were addressed through satire: gentrification, the naming of the Redskins football team, identity and feminism.

Unlike the first season, however, the writers attempted to being every individual character into the spotlight as opposed to showing Kimmy’s interactions with them and her internalization of these issues.

For example, I would never complain about watching a show featuring Tina Fey as a drunk psychiatrist but incorporating her for multiple episodes just to tell Kimmy to find her mother only diluted the plot.

As a result, the main character just became a small part of multiple conflicts that occurred but were never fully resolved to leaving the viewer without any closure.

Every character was confused and lost in their own way, as a result I was thoroughly confused.

Honestly, the only reason I finished this season was out of procrastination but of course I will be looking out for the third season for clarification and some Titus one-liners.
