THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
SERIES PREMIERE: Ellie Kemper, who played Erin on NBC’s The Office, brings her effervescent eccentricity to another quirky sitcom – this time on Netflix, in the new comedy from Tina Fey and producing partner Robert Carlock. This time, she’s the star, playing one of several women held underground for more than a decade in the doomsday bunker of a deluded cult leader. When she surfaces, she decides to make her way in New York City, very quickly finding both a roommate and an employer (Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski, respectively, both from 30 Rock). But things get more challenging almost instantly, wherein lies the humor. And, because this is Netflix, an entire season of that humor is unspooled at once, and available whenever you want to watch. For my review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website.

Wow, was this awful. Like a failed pilot.
