Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Another Netflix original, this one from Tina Fey.   This show wasn't even on my radar until I saw a number of people on the Facebook talking about it.  The plot revolves around Kimmy, who was kidnapped and held in a bunker for 15 years by a crazy man who tricked them into believing the apocalypse had happened.  She get's out and starts a new life in New York city.

There are a lot of laughs through the 13 episode season, many of them happen so quick you have to be sharp while watching, no tablet/phone surfing during this one.

Some questionable religious content in this one, but if you're subjective (you don't have to be accepting) there's more here to like than dislike.  Recommend to the right audience.

Orange is the New Black: Season 3

Should I be watching this series?  No.  Do I watch it?  Yes.  It's a guilty pleasure for sure, but so much questionable content, and much of it not up for question at all.  I should not watch this show .. but I do.  That out the way, the third season of OINTB seems much more light hearted than previous seasons.  I found it entertaining in a less dramatic way, more of a "comedy" this season.  Likeable characters keep me coming back, solid acting and story lines.   I'm hooked ... unfortunately.
