Just been released on Netflix. I wasn't sure i'd like this after seeing the trailer, it seemed a bit girly, but being a Tina Fey show i gave it a go and i'm glad i did. Lots of good little jokes, some subtle and some obvious. I'm about 5 episodes in and it gets better with every episode. Ellie Kempers role isn't that different to her character from the Office but she's a lot more resiliant and doesn't give up.
The highlight so far though is a cameo by Martin Short as a plastic surgeon. It reminded me of Paul Reubens playing Prince Gerhardt in 30 Rock, awkward and creepy.

Bibi and I have been enjoying this via Netflix - it's funny and clever. Loved the Martin Short plastic surgeon character. Apparently it was based on this Dr Brandt bloke, who committed suicide some time after the episode aired. Oops:

Some of the dialogue in the show is excellent - 30 Rock standard. Recommended too.

Re: The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Yeah, we binged on it a while ago. Good to see Fey back in action although it was actually her character that made me cringe the most. Jane Krakowski is so good at playing the shallow characters though. Always enjoyed her parts.
