Binge Watch Wednesday - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

OK - so I'll admit it. The reason I was extra sleepy Monday morning had little to do with the time change and more to do with my unintended blitzkrieg through ALL of the episodes of Netflix's new comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. 
They are like potato chips - you can't watch just one.

The premise is that when she was 14, Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) was kidnapped and held with three other women in an underground bunker by a cult leader who told them the world had ended. The show begins fifteen years later when they are finally rescued from the bunker and in the center of a media feeding frenzy about the 'mole women of Indiana.'
While on a trip to NYC for interviews, Kimmy breaks away from the others to live life anonymously in the big city. She finds an apartment after meeting her crazy landlady, Lillian - played by the always hilarious Carol Kane. Her new roommate is a black, gay, out-of-work musical theater actor, Titus (Titus Burgess) and she gets a job by busting a delinquent candy thief on the day his nanny quits. Her new boss? An over-the-top self-involved billionaire's second wife played perfectly by Jane Krakowski (30 Rock.)

Wackiness and a stream of killer one-liners, awkward bunker flashbacks, misunderstood modern and 90's pop culture references, musical numbers, shame puppets, and rampant optimism all ensue.

And just when you think... "I should probably go to bed" - the cult leader's trail begins - and the hilarious cameos bust in to renew your fervor. 

I won't spoil it, but they are amazing.
Before it even premiered it was picked up for a season 2 - so dive on in and give it a watch.

I bet you can't watch just one.
