By far the best and most fun feminist tv show of all times, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is four seasons of absolute joy and really-much-deeper-dialogues-than-what-you-think-you-just-heard. Binge it and binge it twice. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a smart and necessary commentary on women's and minorities' issues and American society as a whole. Also, you do need more Titus in your life.
