In what could have easily been a “Jenna Maroney had she not become famous” repeat, Jacqueline is her own character, with her own set of worries about escaping the past and who you once were. Her relationship with Jacqueline Voorhees is also one of the highlights of the show. After Kimmy comes into his life, he starts to shape up himself, quitting that job, going out on auditions (even if it forces him to relive his awful low budget Lion King reproduction days), and eventually finding a job as a werewolf at a haunted house themed restaurant where Kimmy gleefully declares, “It’s so funny to see what people who’ve never been kidnapped think is scary.” Her roommate Titus starts out as a street performer, which really means he just wears an Iron Man costume and hands out flyers for an arcade. While Kimmy is out there navigating the real world, she runs into such wild and fun characters that also have as many secrets as they want to.
Kimmy’s excitement for just about anything is infectious She’s perpetually stuck in the 90’s though, wearing light up Skechers, using comebacks such as “I’m rubber you are glue,” and overall trying her gosh-darndest to help everyone in her life because that’s what she’s good at. She refuses to let anyone know who she really is (although I find it hard to believe no one would recognize her especially with how much the media loves their story) and doesn’t let anyone’s criticisms of her hold her down. Kimmy is a powerhouse of a woman, refusing to let anything bring her down. All three quickly fall into her lap when a fellow captive, Cyndee hands over her cash from the Mole Women Fund, a crazy wealthy Upper East side type (Jane Krakowski) hires her as a nanny/maid/overall caretaker, and she finds a begrudging roommate in Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess) who only accepts her because he’s two months behind on rent. But life isn’t as easy to start in New York as she would’ve hoped – she needs money, a job, and an apartment. After being rescued by the FBI and, most importantly, a psychic pig, she and the other Mole Women are bounced from interview to interview until Kimmy decides that she’s ready to start new and begin her life in New York City.
THE INVINCIBLE KIMMY SCHMIDT SERIES
It features a wonderful leading cast including 30 Rock alum Jane Krakowski, Broadway star Tituss Burgess, and a delightful Carol Kane, but I was scared after the first two episodes that I was in for nothing more than a 30 Rock knockoff.Īs mentioned before, the series tells the story of Kimmy Schmidt and how she tries to take back her life after having it “tooken” from her when she was a young middle school student. Sure, Ellie Kemper is perfectly (if not type-) cast in her role as Kimmy Schmidt, one of the Mole Women, a group of 4 women who were abducted by a mysterious Reverend type and lived underground for nearly 15 years. I’m not going to lie, when I started the first episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, I wasn’t feeling it.
