Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy contre le révérend

Won't spoil anything,but was a great experience. Played it several times & choose differently,to see what happens. Wish more tv or movies,gave this viewing option. Give this a chance! Great cast,story(ies) & more!

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt heavily relies on its unending chain of gags, that's what makes it shine: it does not leave you with an empty second. This interactive format that stops the whole sharades and forces you to wait, sometimes go back, see the same thing a second time, wait again for the choice and repeat, completely destroys the basis of the show. The story is on the weak side, but I think without the whole choice gimmick could have been enjoyable.

So I haven't seen any Kimmy for a while, I got bored after the first series. There was a lot to like about it but I found myself disinterested and finding the silliness a bit much. I had hoped that the whole interactive thing might make it a bit more interesting. Nope. It was just the characters being silly some more. And I was bored. And what's the point of all the interacting if you end up having to keep going back and then end up having to watch even more of it?! I think the characters in Kimmy are great and it's loud and colourful yeah yeah yeah but it's just not something I find very entertaining.

I loved the original Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt series, so I was excited to try this as my first interactive title. Sadly, I was let down. For me, it was way too time-consuming! It seemed to take forever to reach the "You Win" ending. Maybe the interactive experience just isn't for me. I loved seeing the original cast and I'm glad others enjoyed the adventure, but in my opinion this missed the mark. Still, thanks for bringing Kimmy and the gang back one more time.

This has nothing to do with the show. Really bad script, the jokes are not funny at all. All the choices you can make are irrelevant to the story. Really sorry that such a great show get this awful end.

You thought you had heard the last of Kimmy Schmidt? Well, think again! Tina Fey's beloved cult-comedy hit is back with a new interactive special-"Kimmy VS The Reverend!" Picking up some time after the series finale, the new special finds Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) quickly approaching her wedding day with British Prince Frederick, played by a fantastically cast Daniel Radcliffe. However, Kimmy soon comes to learn that the nefarious Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) has had a second, secret bunker all along, and that there is another group of captive "mole women" out there, waiting to be rescued. And so, Kimmy must set out to save the day along with her best friend Titus! (Tituss Burgess) At the same time, Titus' manager Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) tries to keep him secured in a role in an upcoming action picture, while Lillian (Carol Kane) opts to throw a bachelorette party for the absent Kimmy with hilarious results. "Kimmy VS The Reverend" is a delightful little coda to the series, thanks in large part to its implementation of the interactive gimmick. Every so often, the viewer will be given a choice between two or more options, which will have an impact on the narrative in some way. Some are small and merely create minor cosmetic differences in specific scenes, while other decisions are larger in scope, and can entirely effect the outcome of the story. If you're familiar with choose-your-own-adventure books, you'll feel right at home, because the special very much plays out like one. And be sure to keep your eyes peeled for easter-eggs! While I won't spoil any, there are some very clever hidden scenes to unlock if you make the correct choices. I've been wondering for quite some time why Netflix hasn't been exploiting their potential for interactive entertainment more than it has. It seems like a complete no-brainer. So it's nice to see the format applied to one of the site's most unique sitcoms. The writing is generally quite solid, even though I would argue that it's lacking in the big laughs that typically defined the original series. The special made me grin on several occasions and got a few decent chuckles out of me... but I never really got any of the big belly-laughs I had come to expect from "Kimmy Schmidt." It's more charming than amusing, I'd say. But I could forgive that, because it makes up for it with the interactive gimmick, which kept me thoroughly invested. And as always, the cast is a complete delight. Kemper slips right back into Kimmy's shoes like no time had passed at all, and Burgess is excellent as always. But the biggest surprise was Radcliffe in his guest-role as Kimmy's fiancé Frederick. He fits right in with the rest of the cast, and has a great chemistry with virtually everyone. It's a shame this was his only appearance in the series, because I'd love to see more of his character. "Kimmy VS The Reverend" may not be the best, nor the funniest episode of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." But it's certainly one of the most memorable thanks to its interactivity and branching storyline. If you're a fan of the series, this is definitely something to check out! I'm giving it an 8 out of 10! As Kimmy would say, it's "hashbrown, awesome!"

As the title says what is the point of having multiple choices if you don't actually have that much influence story anyway? You might just as well have shown me a movie without the whole dragging of the story by choosing the "wrong" things. It tried, for me personally it failed. Maybe I didn't try enough choices to actually enjoy it, but after finishing it I didn't really feel like trying again.
