Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Gets Divorced?!"/"Kimmy's Roommate Lemonades!"

"Kimmy Gets Divorced?!" 

The third season of Netflix's hit comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is streaming now! And the first episode of the new season is quite hilarious.

In "Kimmy Gets Divorced?!" as Kimmy celebrates her GED graduation, she gets another phone call from the Reverend and this time it's about the divorced papers he wants sign and sent back so he can marry someone again.

Kimmy doesn't want to do anything with him anymore and goes to Jacqueline for advise. She advises Kimmy to play with the Reverend, make him suffer and have him beg to get those papers signed. While playing with the Reverend's mind, Kimmy decides that she wants to go to college. But if she's gonna need money she's gonna have to get some and what Jacqueline advises her was to tear up the papers and make a new one so she gets his stuff and sell it.

Meanwhile, Titus is back from his short cruise as he was washed on the beach. He really doesn't tell the events that happen but as soon as he gets back he fears of showing himself to his boyfriend Michael. But before showing his face he tries to find another job this time with Sesame Street but needs someone's help to talk to a producer. He goes to his nemesis, Coriolanus Bur, who's performing the musical Matilda. He gives the name of a producer and also where to meet him...at an exercise class.

Titus goes to the exercise class and sees the producer but instead of meeting with him, he takes the guy's phone and makes a call to his assistant about getting Titus for a job. Later he comes in and audition for the part by singing the ABC's, talking with children and healthy foods, but also reads well with the puppet but to get the job completely he would have to give the puppet a special moment but ends it and runs off.

Titus runs off to go see Michael and when he sees him, he sees Michael with another guy and Titus becomes heartbroken.

Talking about heartbroken, Lillian decides to end her relationship with Bobby Durst. And goes through the grieving process, but the two talk it out and seems pretty happy after, even though Bobby did pee his pants.

I thought this episode was hilarious. I didn't care too much for the Lillian's storyline in this episode it was okay, not a whole lot of laughs at times. Kimmy's and Titus were hilarious to watch. I couldn't get enough of watching Kimmy and Jacqueline duo it out with The Reverend about the divorce papers. Especially when Jacqueline answered the phone and acted like a taxi driver who gets into an accident.Titus was another and when Kimmy asked him about why he came back or mention someone's name, he become very defensive. Love the scene when he and Coriolanus meeting up again. It was just hilarious. Even the moment when the puppet and the producer tried to get have a special moment in exchange for the job. The writing was really good in this episode. Overall I give this episode a 9/10.

"Kimmy's Roommate Lemonades!"

 This was by the the funniest and well written episode of the show so far!!

After Titus saw Michael with another man, he goes on a rant to Kimmy and tells her that he's going to do what everyone would do best in this situation...he's going lemonading.

In three different songs, Titus sings about his love and heartache for Michael in a Beyonce parodies. It was clever , it was hilarious and it was literally Titus Burgess best performance so far.

As soon as Titus breaks Michael's truck window, Michael runs up. The two talk and Titus ask about the man that he saw in the previous episode. Michael says he is just a friend and they were just playing video games. Michael tries to make it clear that they're not in love, but Jeff, the name he's seeing, really is.

As soon as Michael realizes that Titus was right, he runs off and apologies but Titus gets a flash from the past as he did the same thing with his first love. Titus takes Mike to the house of his first boyfriend and after meeting with them tells Mike that they should take a break and see other people.

Meanwhile, Kimmy takes a placement test of what career she should pursue and after answering questions which lead to her becoming a cross guard. As she goes on college tour she makes a new friend who goes to Robert Morris College. She decides to go to that college hoping to hang with the student but he'll transfer to another college at the end of the semester.

But Kimmy gets pulled in when Lillian and Jacqueline fight for her vote as a city council for their district as Jacqueline fights for clean water and Lillian wants to keep things the same. Kimmy picks Lillian and well let's just say that Lillian didn't expect what she was getting into that everything she was fighting for was denied with other votes of the city council.

"Kimmy's Roommate Lemonades" was one of it's best episodes. It was hilariously funny and after watching the episode I just re-watched it twice. The writing was outstandingly amazing. Titus Burgess really stands out in this episode and should be consider for Supportive Actor in a Comedy series at the Emmys and should win. Yep, I said it. I also enjoyed watching Lillian and Jacqueline battle each other for Kimmy's vote. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Season 3 and the entire series of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is available on Netflix now!

Hug Time! The Blacklist "Mr. Kaplan (No. 4)"/"Mr. Kaplan: Conclusion" Season Finale

It was season finale that we've all been waiting for: Red v. Kaplan who will come out victorious? Here's a recap!

As Red tries to make a deal by selling weapons to buyers, apparently someone else had taken them and put Red in a sticky situation. Later on, he's trying to find any ounce of money in his accounts but Kaplan apparently has sucked him dry, talk about a messy divorce.

With that going, Gale admits to Ressler that he knows he's working with Keen and the task force that's working with Reddington and will take down him and the team for working with a criminal while committing crimes. That lead to Aram getting picked up by the FBI and was subpoena to the court about the task force and Reddington. He was granted full immunity but he wouldn't take it because he doesn't want to betrayed his friends.

Kaplan tries to get into a secret government building that holds secret documents where Reddington's document of a full immunity was placed. She takes one of the officer's eyeball out and give it to a hutch man to get the document. Keen and Samar gets there and chases him for a while but is caught by the police. Keen takes him to Red for a chat and as the guy tells Red that he can kill him all he wants that he won't talk. But he also asked for something in return if he can get Kaplan to him for which Red offers him a paradise island of his own that he had kept at Don's place (Liz's grandfather place). But Red kills him after getting the information.

Red and Kaplan meet in a theater but it gets interrupted by Gale and his partner shooting at Red. Red and Dembe escape but when Gale comes back to talk to Kaplan, she offers him that she can testify against Red. She tells what she knows and asked a full immunity but also to be left alone for a while she takes care of something very personal. She heads off to a place where a tree is marked with the letter K and she talks to Katarina that she's doing this for Liz and starts digging out a suitcase and places it near a station.

With the Task Force on their knees now, Red hunts for a man who's also a cleaner and finds him after making one of his clients call him. He not only gets him but takes Ressler to his shop where he has the Reven Wright's body in a container. They find the bullet that killed her and used it against Lauren Hitchin as a chip to get the committee to stop the testifying of the Task Force and Reddington, which they did.

As soon as that happened Gale calls Kaplan and tells her about what just happen. He gets a nice visit from Red and takes his phone from him and kind of goes memory lane with him. It was one of the most funniest scenes.

As Red calls Cooper to trace the phone of Kaplan, Liz is in root to talk with Kaplan privately and as they do, Kaplan tells Liz that she'll tell her the truth and drives her until Red's team stops them. Liz gets out as she kind of figures what the secret could be. Kaplan was order to shut the car off but instead shoots and drives off. She's stop by Red on the bridge and the gang behind her. The two face off again and talk about how this is the end. Kaplan tells him when she's dead that Liz get the suitcase. Red tells her that he's not going to killer her and as soon as she tells either way Liz will learn the truth, she jumps off the bridge and dies.

Later on, Cooper gives Liz an envelope that contains test results of a DNA test that he has always wanted to do ever since day one when Red and Liz met. Liz tells Cooper about how she did the same thing but never really looked and after looking she heads off to talk to Red and shows the results and just asked why waited to tell her this long. Instead of running, she just walks up and hugs him like a daughter should hug her dad.

But this isn't over as Red and Dembe check the spot where that suitcase was buried and sees that it was dug up. Soon we see someone picking up the suitcase and guess who that person is...no other then Tom Keen (SOB!!!). Big Surprise!!!

This was one hell of a on the edge thrilling season finale that had some nice twist and turns, even at the end. I was stunned to see Tom coming back. I didn't think he would be back this season. But he's going to have a bigger role in season five. I'm so glad that Liz finds out that Red is her father. Now that that chapter is over let's begin something new and it looks like something big is coming. I was also stunned to see Ressler killed Hitchin by mistake or was it? That was a real OMG moment. It had a lot of great scenes from Ressler talking about Hitchin at the post office or when Liz and Kaplan talked near the lake or Red and Kaplan talking for one last time. The writing was very good and very much tied up the season. I can't wait for Season 5. Overall, I give this episodes 1 9/10. Overall, I give this season a 8/10.

You can catch The Blacklist when it returns this fall to it's new night and time Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season One & Two Recap/Review

Netflix hit comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will be streaming tomorrow. If you haven't seen the series, you've been missing out on one of the best comedies. Here's a recap of the first two seasons of the show.

Season One: 

The series started when Kimmy Schmidt and three other women were in an underground bunker for the past 15 years with Reverend Richard Gary Wayne who kidnapped them to joining his cult thinking that the world had ended and they were the last survivors. Soon Kimmy and the women were rescued  and appeared on the Today Show with Matt Lauer (even though one of them called him Bryant thinking that he was Bryant Gumbel).

When Lauer asked the question what is next, Kimmy really didn't know what to say and after thinking about it she decides to head out on her own in New York City. On her own, she tries swinging on a swing, eating shark gummy for dinner and even letting a horse free.

As she roams around in the city she spots a place that was for rent to live, she meets with the landlady Lillian Kaushtupper and offers Kimmy a chance to room with Titus Andromedon in her downstairs apartment. But with no job or any references, Kimmy went out to find a job at the candy shop until she spotted the kid that she saw earlier and takes him to his home to his mother, that's where she meets with Jacqueline Voorhees, a Manhattan trophy wife, who mistaken Kimmy for the nanny but Kimmy mistaken her for someone trapped in a cult.

Later on, Kimmy goes for her GED and meets and falls in love with a Vietnamese man named Dong. Near the end of the season, Kimmy had to face the Reverend once again on trial  and soon catches him in in own game and gets him found guilty and sent to prison. Jacqueline goes through life changes from has her marriage comes to an end and deals with her past head on. Even Titus tries to go for his dream being in a musical but meets his nemesis for the musical of Spiderman. But Titus makes a music video about "Peeno Noir" which becomes a huge hit online. And at the end with being the close friend of Kimmy's, speaking to the press for her might not be the best thing for him as it not only gave him attention (even freezing up while on live television) but also it drove out his wife to come see him who he hasn't seen in a long time.

Season one was a smashing home run in it's first season. There were some dark themes in the show but the characters were so rich and amazingly hilarious. After being on "The Office" and "Bridesmaids", Ellie Kemper shines own her own and has a bunch of helpful colorful ensemble cast. Titus Burgess makes his mark on the show as one of the best supporting actors in comedy. Carol Kane as Lillian is another as she's just amazing and lights up the scene. And Jane Krakowski playing Jacqueline at first seems to be a rich Jenna from 30 Rock but shines and really makes her mark as well with her comedy timing. The writing was outstanding and there were a lot of memorable episodes. Season One overall gets a 10/10.

Season Two

In season two, I like to call it the Blast from the 90's, there were a ton of 90's referneces in season that too many for me to remember. But if I had to choice one of them, it would have to be parody songs from the 90's like R. Kelly's I Believe I can Fly" into Art Smelly's "I'm Convinced I Can Swim" and Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" into Dusk Mountie's Brother Baptist.

But throughout the season Kimmy quits working for Jacqeline and gets a job at a year round Christmas store and later becomes an Uber driver. Carol tries to get her back out on the market but runs into Dong, who's in a green card marriage with another GED student. But they try to get back together nad tries to have sex but soon he gets deported.

Jacqueline goes back to her home town with her native american family. She tries to fit back in but she's doesn't and her parents tell her to go back to New York where she's got connections and such. Just before she leaves, she gets a vision to help her family and friends by throwing a gala party to take down the Washington Redskins logo, but her nemesis Deidre throws another party as well. But Jacqueline's friend Mini mistakenly put the date of the party the wrong way and people think it's for December instead of October. She later dates a layer that happens to be the owner of the Redskins.

Titus begins dating a construction worker, Mike. They're relationship seems to go well even meeting his family for dinner. Near the end of the season, he leaves to be a performer on a cruise and Lillian tries protesting the invasion of hipsters as they try to put a new apartments.

Throughout the season, Kimmy there's been this storyline that circles around her burping. In the middle of the season as she's working as an uber driver, she picks up a psychiatrist who's drunk and fun at night and normal and boring in the day. She talks to the psychiatrist about what she's been through at the bunker thinking that's what the burping was from until it's actually about her mother.  Kimmy makes amends with her mother but soon gets a phone from The Reverend from prison informing her that they need to get a divorce.

Season two was another home runs season with outstanding writing and performing from Kemper and Burgess and Krakowski. Great performances from guest stars like Amy Sedaris, Fred Armisen, Jeff Goldblum, Josh Charles and Lisa Kudrow. I couldn't get enough of the 90's references from tape cassettes to listening to parody songs and even watching Kimmy learning that some of the hot singers in the day are gay now. OVerall, I give this season a 10/10.

You can catch the third season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt available to stream on Netflix this Friday, May 19.  

WOW! WOW! OH MY GOD!!!!! Chicago Fire "My Miracle" Season Finale

WOW! OH MY GOD!! WOW!! OH MY GOD!!!

Last night's season finale ended on a tear-jerker cliffhanger unlike any other. Hell, I'm still shaking up from it.

Let's get to recapping; Casey is not only dealing with his alderman problem but also Gabby's father staying with them. He thinks Dawson's father should get tough love and get him going on finding a new home and a job, but Gabby wants to take some time with him. But when Casey talks with his alderman rivals about agreeing to support each one's bill they are trying to pass, Dawson's dad comes up and makes a fool out of himself and Casey, and the deal is off. That sent Casey to spend the night at Severide's place.

Meanwhile, when there is a car accident on the bridge, Herrmann saves a boy trapped in the van. The van soon burns in flames, including the boy's Chicago Cubs baseball cards, some signed by the team, and was on their way to get Kris Bryant's autograph. Herrmann felt so bad that he was going to hand him his cards, but he forgot that he sold them years ago for cross-country skies but then sold those for something else. But that led him to go over to Wrigley Field and ask if some of the players Bryant, mostly, would sign the kid's cast. Of course, Herrmann and the team take him on a ride and introduce them to Kris and Jake. Not to mention Mike Tirco, who's fantastic too. But also Grandpa Rossy makes a special appearance as a sweeper.

Cruz is still upset with Mouch, and Mouch is trying to make things right, but Cruz isn't going to have it. Cruz keeps acting depressed about it, and who wouldn't be suspended for sixty days and can't pay for his cousin's college fund? I would also know that Mouch had tried everything he had done. But Mouch thinks that with things changing around and getting older, he believes it's time, as he told Trudy after looking back at his Fire Academy class photo. He gets a job as a salesman, selling gas detectors and other things.

Casey, in the meantime, makes an appearance at an alderman meeting and makes a case about his opponent on how his bill would make a big tax cut, but makes his case on his statement that firefighters are the heroes that put their jobs on the line every day for the city and make the case that he's family and his job as alderman have taken a toll. He announces that he will step down and nominates Tamera as his successor.


Then we come to the factory fire, calling everyone to the scene. Bowden gives his gut feeling about a four-minute window for his crew to get in and get out, but time wasn't on their side at all. Before going in, Mouch tells Herrmann that this will be his last shift and that he will retire.

As Squad takes the north, Truck takes the front, and soon, the fire takes a thing of its own with the roof coming down. Casey spots someone and tries to take her out, but Bowden calls everyone out as the fire grows. Mouch stops, and Herrmann tells him they must go but soon collapses and suffers a heart attack. Cruz, who finally comes to his senses, tries to get Mouch to get up and get out of the building. Soon, the ceilings start to collapse around them. Not only Casey, Herrmann, and Mouch are stuck, but Severide and a few of his men are trapped. They could do nothing; Casey called Gabby on the walkies and told her she meant a lot to him and that she was his miracle.  It was enough not only to scream out, "Get the hell out of there," but also to cry your eyes out. We see Dawson looking at the front of the factory building as the front entrance is covered with flames, and we cut to the end of the scene and the season.

"My Miracle" was one hell of an episode that not only had humor and heartwarming but gave such an emotional punch at the end that only Chicago Fire could do. That ending that cliffhanger was such a powerful scene, still enough to make me rethink it and tear up again. The Herrmann storyline was once again so unique and heartwarming, but don't forget humor as well.

And how about the Cubbies in the episode? Bryant can look good on the field, off the field, and television. As for who will live and who will die, I'll have to take my time thinking over this summer. Last time, I didn't know Shay would die, but she died in Season Three. So, as the writers and executives say, think of what could make a good storyline for the characters. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10. And I share this season's season a valid 10/10. It was by far their best season yet.

To all the #ChiHards (Chicago fans) out there, have a great summer, and see you guys in the fall!
 (I'm thinking October again, right? But let's hope for a September premiere).

Chicago Fire will be back in the fall on Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
