Trailer: Netflix's THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT

It's the first trailer for Netflix's new sitcom THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT, created by Tina Fey (30 Rock). It concerns the eponymous woman (Ellie Kemper) who's rescued from a doomsday cult, after spending 15-years in an underground bunker. Adjusting to the modern world, Kimmy gets a job as a nanny for an Upper East Side socialite (Jane Krakowski), and laughs ensue.

First impressions? I think this looks like a lot of fun, and I'm a big fan of Kemper (The Office, Bridesmaids), who just lights up the screen here. Maybe the jokes about Kimmy being several steps behind modern culture will get a little tiring, but there seems to be plenty of fizz and pop to the show. It's bright and funny, which belies a concept that sounds a little harrowing. I actually thought Kimmy Schmidt would be much darker, but it's instead a colourful surprise. Looking forward to this. Why on earth did NBC pass on it?
