This Netflix new series created by Tina Frey (of the 30 Rock
fame) and Robert Karlock, started as recently as 6th of March 2015.
It is about the story of this girl, Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) who lived in
an underground bunker for almost 15 years. She, with 3 other girls, was
kidnapped by a cult which told them that the world had ended and they were the
only survivors who had to live there forever.
They were rescued in
the pilot episode and thereafter Kimmy started her life in New York filled with
enthusiasm. She did not want herself to be known to the world as a ‘Mole Woman’
like the news channels were calling her and so she started a fresh, new life. She
started living with Titus Andromedon (a gay, aspiring Broadway performer) who
becomes her confidant and best friend. Their landlady, Lillian Kaushtupper
(Carol Kane) is as quirky as one can get!
Kimmy finds a job as a housemaid/nanny with a wealthy
Manhattan family. The lady of the house Jacqueline Voorhees is shown as a lonely, fashionable
woman marked with the absence of a busy husband. She finds happiness in
Kimmy’s company. Jacqueline has a teen stepdaughter, Xanthippe Voorhees, who’s
always taking Kimmy’s case.
It is an extremely light-hearted series with a good dose of
humour. Kimmy’s spirit is amazing and makes you fall in love with her. She’s
ignorant of the new world and so her language from the 90’s makes you laugh.
Her interactions with Xan are the funniest showing the real difference between
this generation and the previous one.
The series is original and witty. You won’t be rolling on
the floor, but you will be smiling alright! And it is not totally girly! Surely
worth a watch.
This does sound like a lot of fun. I shall give it a watch. But maybe after they have quite a few episodes out. I hate waiting to see what happens!
