This season was overall pretty good. Maybe a step down from the sheer volume of pure laughs of the first season, but a step up in characterization for just about everyone. Kimmy's trauma has always been a deeply troubling undercurrent to the generally upbeat nature of the show, and I appreciated that they tackled some of the more taboo aspects of her victimization without being too heavy handed. Elsewhere, I thought Titus/Mikey were great, as was Anna Camp. What an amazing new character.

a couple nits, however:
- The episode where Titus does the geisha play and all the activists/hecklers learn their lesson. I think Fey and Co. took the wrong lesson from ethnicity-related critiques of last season, and this episode felt outright arrogant in their dismissal.
- Jacqueline and Russ. I get the logic behind the pairing, but I still don't buy it. I thought this was poorly developed.

Just watched season 1 and 2 back to back. I had watched a few episodes when it came out last year but couldn't get into it, something clicked around ep 3 or 4 this time and I just cruised through.

Both seasons are great in my opinion, but I think I enjoyed S2 more. It maybe had a a couple of episodes I didn't like that much, but the good ones were soooo good. I think even if it wasn't as consistently funny in spots, the story beats and relationships all worked better for me than the first.

Don't want to spoil anything but some of the guest appearances were also incredible, and I really like where things left off. Tina Fey's role had me on the floor. I hope she comes back next season

I watched both seasons over the past 2 weeks and I greatly enjoyed both seasons but I don't think the show is for me. It never really clicked for me and while I think that the characters are amazing like Titus it never really grabbed me. I can see why people really like it though.

I've tried watching Episode 1-2 for several weeks and couldn't - I felt it was way too boring and slow.

But I finally finished Episode 2 and started Episode 3 and I'm finding it much more compelling now. I like that (Jacqueling spoiler)

Spoiler

Jacqueline gave up on impressive her rich friend and went to the party/ball alone, and stopped abusing both Kimmy and Doug

, and I feel the end of Episode 2 and beginning of Episode 3 have finally seguewayed into seriously awesome/funny comedy bits, namely

Spoiler

Kimmy going to the library when her friend tells her to check a video on the Internet, and Gretchen grabbing a cop's gun in her "choose-your-own adventure"... I yelled out "No!!!" and Lol'd heheh

.

I think the reason I've finally compelled to watch/enjoy the show is because Kimmy doing something that directly relates to the events/people surrounding her kidnapping 15 years ago.

I dropped this show because I started to find Titus pretty annoying.

Which is weird, but that's what happened.

Titus (Especially) and Lilian are absolutely the best parts of the show. I'm enjoying this season so much, I'm so sad it's almost over.

Does anyone have a link to that incredible Italian family dinner scene where the grandmother is a puppet?

I started seeing flashes from laughing so hard at that part (lack of oxygen). Let me try and find it. I was also drinking so that helped

Kimmy Schmidt's playlist on Netflix is terrific.

Congrats, Ellie.

Just watched the entire show for the first time over the last couple days.

Really good. After how one-note he was on 30 Rock, I was worried about Titus but he's the best part of the show.

Ratsky, why don't you make one? It seems no one making it.

[GK86]

I'm making one. Just need a witty subtitle.

Season 3 is out tomorrow?! I literally have not seen one ad or heard a single word about it.

Season 3 is out tomorrow?! I literally have not seen one ad or heard a single word about it.

I feel like Netflix feels they don't even need Ad, they can just push a notification to everyones phones and put it on the top billing and boom tons of viewers
