Terror at Home:The Night Shift "Unexpected"/"Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

"Unexpected"

When working in an ER, you expect the unexpected and this episode was one of those episodes. With a nurse's strike on the hospital, the staff tries to get it together while treating patients but when a bomb goes off everything is put to side and join together as one while unit to get through this ordeal.

"Unexpected" was not only written so good but the visual of the camera on capturing the emotional stake of the aftermath of the explosion. After that the performance from the cast was really good.

Jill Flint puts on another good performance as she finds out that she was the one that caused the bomber to bomb the hospital because she let her live and not die along with her family in a previous episode or time. Not knowing who she was til her name was heard, talking to the suspect and shockingly enough watching the suspect pull out her chest tube and dying.

Wallace Shawn makes an appearance as as Mr Neville, who brings so much humor in the episode making awkward moments for Paul and Shannon.

And Kenny had a very good storyline has he deals with trying to save his athlete in training, who got caught near the explosion but also finds out that she has a tumor in the her lung and also tells Kenny at the end of the episode that she really doesn't like soccer at all.

And with one last moment another shocking news comes to Topher and the hospital as the hospital is being sold to another company.

All in all, this was a very good episode. There were emotions left and right, humor in all the right spots and some really good performances from this ensemble cast. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

"Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

It's kind of what the title of this episode says.

When TC and Paul arrive at an accident site, they had to pronounced one dead brain but TC saves a teenager who was trapped in a sinkhole and saves him. Paul tries to get the mother's consent about donating her son's organs but after a first couple of times, she finally gives her consent. The lungs from the boy goes to helping Brianna.

Meanwhile, Scott gets a second chance to help a family that he ruined a while back, Malik comes back in the ER from missing his dialysis. The father would not want Scott to take care of his son turns out that he needed help as his aorta was about to burst. After saving malik's dad, Malik tells Scott that he forgives and tells his dad that he needs to move on.

Speaking of moving on, Scott and Jordan share a quick romantic moment that's mostly just the heat of the moment and moved on.

Topher gets word from Jessica that even though it looked like she was trying to help save the hospital but eventually she was working for the buyer who's buying the hospital. For which, not only upsets Topher but breaks up with TC after he found out too.

Even though Drew had such high hopes for the lungs transplant, but it wasn't a good solid match fo Brianna and offers her to stay with him and his husband after she gets out.

"Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was a good episode. The moments that shined were Jordan and Scott dealing with the angry father, Drew and Brianna's high hopes for the lung transplant and Paul and the kid's mother who donated the lungs to another person. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Netflix Renews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for Season 4

What?! What?! High Five all around!!

Looks like Kimmy and Titus has another reason to high five as Netflix ha announced on Tuesday that they're renewing Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for a fourth season.

Kimmy Schmidt stars Ellie Kemper as the naive survivor of a doomsday cult who moves to NEw York to start her life after 15 years stuck in an underground bunker. The supporting cast includes Tituss Burgess as Kimmy's aspiring actor roommate Titus, Jane Krakowsit as her filthy rich former employer Jacqueline and Carol Kane as her wacky landlord Lillian.

Season 3 of the hit show debuted on Netflix May 19th with all 13 episodes dropping. The series co created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. The show has also had some haven for celebrity guest starts. Just in Season 3 stars like on Hamm, Josh Charles, Ray Liotta, Maya Rudolph, Daveed Diggs and Laura Dern.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Goes to Church"/"Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist"

"Kimmy Goes to Church"

After feeling about leaving Perry the way she did, Kimmy decides to go to church with Titus.

"Kimmy Goes to Church" was another favorite episode of the season. It played well enough humor and awkwardly moments that I was well into the episode.

As Kimmy tries to learn about religion and goes to church along with Titus. There the two make a good first impression and Titus tries for the church choir as a sign of given back. There might been a problem when the church choir director's grandmother was eyeing Titus. Funny and awkward at times, you would think that she was trying to find a way to get rid of him but really was just trying something nice.

There were a lot of funny moments, there was the Lillian and Jacqueline "Pretty Woman" each other trying to try there own style of clothes. One of Jacqueline's old enemies returns in this episode and finally gets the best of her in the end.

Also when Jacqueline asked Lillian about who took her bag of clothing and Lillian thought it was Titus and Kimmy and described what they were going to do with them and then kiss like lovers.

This was just another hilarious episode. Kane and Krakowski were amazing once again. Even Kemper and Burgess as well. The writing was good too. Overall, I give this episode 8/10.

"Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist" 

Sometimes a certain bathroom is the place you want to use.

In "Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist" Titus needs to use the bathroom after a date and stops at a store where he has trouble with the new manager (played by Ray Liotta) as he has to buy something before using the bathroom. After that he begs Kimmy literally pulls a harmless heist so that Titus can use the bathroom.

At one point it got some hilarious just watching Kimmy getting addicted to the Chinese pixie sticks that she became Titus' hitch-man. The manager catches on. Liotta was hilarious during this episode. As much as you don't want to cross him, it was still funny. Even when he was trying not to turn around for Kimmy and catching Titus on the stop and had to go in the room and clean it up was another.

Jacqueline goes to the NFL owners meeting with her father-in-law and just when she thought she had them, Snyder got to her as he had his son arrested. But she will have the last laugh as she did get the team's name to change but not to what you would think. Let me just say it makes perfect sense to change them.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. This was another great Kimmy-Titus episode. Krakowski was once again at her best. And I love the last sense as it was like a late 80's early 90's sitcom. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 3 is available on Netflix now.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Learns about the Weather"/"Kimmy Does a Puzzle"

"Kimmy Learns about the Weather" 

As much as this episode was funny at times, some was actually a bit predictable too.

"Kimmy Learns about the Weather" had some very good humorist story plots from Kimmy trying to get the local weatherman to admit that Hurricane Tammi might be overly altered about on television. But mostly it was Titus as his feeling about the cruise is coming more and more in his dreams and also thanks to a bladder medication product stealing his voice and using it in their ads.

Near the end, Titus' feelings start to build up has he tells Kimmy about the cruise and describes it like a bladder and ends with a cliffhanger.

I mention that this episode was also predictable. That comes off of Lillian as she budded heads with Artie that ended up kissing one another. I had a feeling after their first meet that something like this was going to happen.

Overall, it was pretty good. There were some memorable moments, mostly from Kimmy and Titus from Kimmy telling the freaked out people that there wasn't the storm of the century coming to New York. OR when Titus' reaction towards the medication commercial after trying to get his boombox repaired and even talking to bladder from the television too. Scott Adsit as Dale, who impersonates Titus in the commercials, was funny. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

"Kimmy Does a Puzzle"

With a storm coming and Titus needed to let it out, he finally does.

"Kimmy Does a Puzzle" was hilarious as times and enjoyable too as Titus finally tells Kimmy what happen on that ship and screams it out that he ate Dionne Warwick, but that wasn't the real truth.

Through the episode, Titus comes clean about eating Warwick but turns out that he was just seeing things. Kimmy tries to make her place like a bunker or funkier and be a more fun and enjoyable place while the storm pasts. But after Titus' story, she tells him that she had a line and if he's crossed it they can no longer be friend.

Kimmy tries to ask Titus once more and just lies again. Later on, as Kimmy tries get a game ready but missing it's pieces, they finally played with a puzzle but when it lost it's last piece it drives Kimmy mad. She figures out that Titus no only had that missing piece but also other pieces from the other board games and pushed over Kimmy's line and she walks out.

Lillian talks to Titus about the situation and soon figures that they need Kimmy (as we all need a Kimmy in our lives). Titus runs to Kimmy as she's at the Columbia campus staying with her teammates dorm. But Titus gets there and not only apologies and gives what Kimmy always wanted a high five and does a funny montage of it.

Overall, this was a very good episode that we see that Kimmy has a line that no one should cross it. There were memorable moments from Lillian telling Titus that Kimmy makes them a better person to even that high five montage.  Even Maya Rudolph was hilarious as Dionne Warwick from Titus' flashback to the benefit concert she was given for New Jersey. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is available on Netflix now.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Steps on a Crack"/"Kimmy is a Feminist"

"Kimmy Steps on a Crack"

When Kimmy goes out to get Titus some medicine, she gets taken by the FBI as they need her help with a friend of hers.

In Episode 5, "Kimmy Steps on a Crack," Kimmy is takes by the FBI to help stop Gretchen as she has developed her own cult full of young boys. Kimmy tires to talk to her and at times gets interrupted by the boys are so at time doing stupid boy things. Three of them glue their junk together. Let's just say that Gretchen got so crazy that it was close to being Waco.

Meanwhile, As Titus is sick with apparently scurvy, he's waiting for Kimmy to get back but ask Lillian to take care of him. She takes him to a near by store where they don't sell any kind of food to rebuild their health, unless you want a frozen box of salad that's filled with chunks. As Titus gets worst, he slips up by saying that he had to eat someone on the cruise and stops there. It seems that we might be getting close to why he was washed ashore in the beginning of the season.

There were many hilarious scenes in this episode from watching Kimmy take down the FBI to when her and Gretchen reaction to the boys coming in and out of their room. I did love watching Titus and Lillian in this episode. They had some hilarious moments in this episode. The Jacqueline and Duke storyline was okay. I did find it hilarious watching Jacqueline and Russ' grandmother make her famous corn casserole. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

"Kimmy is a Feminist"

As Kimmy runs and parties with college girls, Jacqueline deals with Duke again.

As Kimmy explores Columbia University after getting a free scholarship, she bumps into Perry, who i shocked that she's going to Columbia. After the two talked, the girls think that he was ghosting Kimmy and try to show her what being a feminist is about, for that propose it didn't end well. Kimmy realizes that the boy that wanted to kiss her was only 17 years old and not only a baby but everyone at the party that she was were babies too.

She bumps into Perry again and the two kind a hit it off as friend, but when he tells her what he wanted to do for a living that he was going to be a Reverend, Kimmy freaks out and pushes him away.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline is dealing with Duke after he kissed her. He comes over and tries to get the fire going, but she calls for reinforcement aka Titus for help, which turned okay til Duke thinks that Titus is really after Jacqueline.

Not only was this hilarious but it was literally the funniest storyline in the episode, as both Titus and Duke battle it for Jacqueline's love. And not to mention Lillian comes in as well. Probably doesn't do a lot in the episode but hey she still makes me laugh.

Josh Charles and Titus Burgess are hilarious in this episode. I laughed so hard when Titus called Duke a "Patrick Wilson look-alike" and falls down after drinking a couple of shots. And even the two tackling each other was another.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt available on Netflix now.
