Enjoyed the last stretch of episodes less than the beginning tbh. Tina Fey's bad lawyers schtick wasn't all that funny and Hamm's act had the dramatic weight of an SNL skit. The show is the best when it's about Kimmy's weird community of misfits rather than her origin story.

You know the bad lawyers were the prosecutors from the OJ trial, right
― DJP, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 03:17 (nine years ago) link
that was pretty funny to me, and i had to wonder what percentage of the audience had no idea of who they were portraying.
i dont know how i knew but i KNEW the reverend would be played by jon hamm.
― ryan, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 03:20 (nine years ago) link
I got that they were OJ trial lawyers, which only made it seem that much more like a bad SNL skit.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 03:29 (nine years ago) link
Kimmy 's whole 90s reference shtick is a bad SNL skit!

your sitcom finale didn't have any dramatic weight it was sad
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 12:45 (nine years ago) link
thought last few eps had too much dramatic weight - the thought of hamm's character escaping justice (which, yes, of course he wasn't going to, but) made me so anxious and angry, and the ineptitude of the lawyers was so infuriating, that i missed a few lols. [love the series overall though]
― NotKnowPotato (stevie), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 13:22 (nine years ago) link
Okay I had the same response! I thought I was just being a weirdo but the inept lawyers were stressing me out SO BAD. Thank you, stevie. I feel less alone now.

I think it taps into the thing about, you know, the actual crime that inspired the show being so awful. And the show treats that pretty okay for the most part, I think - not getting cheap yuks out of it, hinting that Kimmy's actual experience was awful and kind of bleak for a sitcom - but letting Hamm off the hook would've just compounded any gross leanings the show has in this regard, somehow. Like, the dramatic underpinning of the show needs Hamm to be punished, otherwise its too cruel to Kimmy and her experience and denies her the opportunity of closure and moving forward.
― NotKnowPotato (stevie), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 13:37 (nine years ago) link
I've decided I would like a prequel show that is just Titus and the landlady and their adventures before Kimmy appeared

Carol Kane is a renewable comedy resource
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 14:05 (nine years ago) link
yeah i thought the last few eps not being that funny was purposeful. the whole show walks a tone tightrope, because the inciting event is so horrible. i appreciate it even if i found watching the last couple of episodes unpleasant at times--it's like the new, sincere tina fey.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 23 April 2015 11:10 (nine years ago) link
I feel like they sort of shifted the tone too much and tried to tie off loose ends in the event they only had one season to work with. The divorce, the kids going away to school, the trial, etc. when they could have just milked it for a couple of seasons with her as a nanny for a spoiled rich family.
― joygoat, Thursday, 23 April 2015 13:51 (nine years ago) link
i'm glad they didn't, frankly! it's good imo that they didn't just entire drop the incredibly dark premise/real event that the show springs from, there just could have been some better jokes in that part for sure and no OJ/Tim Blake Nelson crap
― Nhex, Thursday, 23 April 2015 18:56 (nine years ago) link
I didn't entirely understand why her friend was mad at her for not sending her outside: even though she saw the rat I thought she wasn't entirely sure if armageddon had happened or not and didn't want to risk her friend's life. Why did they think Kimmy knew it wasn't the end of the world? Why would she stay in the bunker if she knew it was safe to leave?
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 23 April 2015 19:05 (nine years ago) link
Kimmy didn't believe the Reverend at that point, but didn't have the confidence to send out her friend instead - still fighting off the brainwashing. The friend was mad in retrospect because Kimmy was the only one who was fighting him, and theoretically if she called his bluff they all would've gotten out six years earlier.

It's not fair of course...

In a way, I like the storyline about them all being mad at Kimmy. They become enraged at the imperfect woman, rather than at the downright evil man. The weird thing is, I kinda feel as if they don't make it plausible, though it's obviously something we see over and over in real life.
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 April 2015 15:34 (nine years ago) link
going back to rewatch the first eps I (still) got kinda choked-up at "The worst thing that ever happened to me happened in my own front yard." -- both the tone of the writing & the delivery of that line are on point. The show does 'serious' well enough (which also means: infrequently enough) that I want to stand up & applaud at those moments where most sitcoms would earn an eyeroll. I think some of the squirm-inducing tension we experience during the trial sequences knowingly plays with that dynamic; but I would have to rewatch it to point to any specific scenes.

― bernard snowy, Friday, 24 April 2015 16:41 (nine years ago) link
i wouldn't say this show gets everything right, and different people are going to have different moments where it potentially feels too glib, but that it's not the foulest show in history is evidence of how much they got right

srsly if i was an exec and anybody, even tina fey, said "i want to make a fish-out-of-water show about a childhood kidnapping victim" i would have nipped that in the bud fast

croup OTM
― DJP, Friday, 24 April 2015 17:31 (nine years ago) link
the latter part of the season they veered too far into making the kidnapping "wacky" rather than "dark"
and gtfo with that Ernest P. Worrell wannabe character

ellie kemper and tituss burgess are both on such a high level, id even k. carol kane is still great, i'm less sold on jane k doing the same thing again.
i have to say tho that all sitcom love triangle plots make my eyes glaze over. that's as far as i've gotten.
― goole, Friday, 24 April 2015 17:47 (nine years ago) link
Tituss is hilarious and my fav part of the show

Finished this the other day. I was a little sceptical at first but then before I knew it I'd watched about 6 episodes in a row, laughing uncontrollably a lot of the time.I thought the theme-song dude's little cap-tip/nod to the camera right at the end was kind of a perfect way to finish - I sort of want to have it in gif form for those 'I WARNED YOU' type moments.
