It’s summertime and the bingeing is easy. Whether you’re at home with AC or lounging by the pool, now is the perfect opportunity to find your new show or catch up on old favorites before they return in the fall.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Now Streaming on Netflix
Kimmy Schmidt returns with a third season that is equal parts charming and laugh-out-loud funny. Starring Ellie Kemper, Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess, Kimmy Schmidt is a fish-out-of-water (or girl-out-of-bunker) story about a woman who moves to New York after spending most of her life in a doomsday cult. Building off the last seasons, the show has expanded with additional characters and storylines, creating room for more jokes and hijinks. So pour yourself something cold, because watching Titus Lemonade-ing is reason enough to add this show to your Netflix queue.
