Here's a fact about Kimmy Schmidt: She has been in New York for less time than I have and is already doing it way better than I am. It's kind of depressing really, but regardless, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a super fun show and you should be watching it.

In case you still haven't binge-watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, here's what it's about: Kimmy Schmidt was kept in a bunker by Richard Wayne Gary Wayne for 15 years when she is finally discovered with three other women. Even though 29-year-old Kimmy is now free, she has no idea what happened in the outside world over the past 15 years (i.le. cell phones, celebrities, grammar), so basically she is still living in her own little 90s world. Kimmy decides to move to NYC and begin her new life there with her gay black roommate Titus and her crazy boss Jacqueline Voorhees. The show is super quick to get through and extremely light-hearted and fun. The more I watched it, the more I fell in love with it (being a 90s girl myself probably helped).

However, like all shows there are things that make no sense. Yes, these are tiny details, but still. Here are 10 things about Netflix's The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that make absolutely no sense:

1. Tina Fey wrote it!

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

I like to consider Tina Fey my spirit animal and her humor is normally more intelligent than this show. I can't wrap my head around it.

2. These jokes…

3. Kimmy's love triangle

Alright, she was in a bunker for 15 year s… comes out and has more men than most New York women. Sure, it's Dong and Logan, but still.

4. That apartment.

It sounds like she's supposed to be living in the project s… maybe? I don't know, but her apartment is bigger than mine, so that seems odd.

5. Jacqueline Voorhees' Native American ethnicity

That plot line needs to go.

6. Xanthippe

I watched the entire season and I still can't pronounce her name. I actually Googled how to spell it.

7. She's kind of normal.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

She's been in a bunker for 15 years and yet she's more sane then Mrs. Voorhees … and everyone else on the show.

What is happening there? It's 2015 and she wasn't in a bunker.

9. Jon Hamm as Richard Wayne Gary Wayne

Jon Hamm is way too sexy to be playing a cult leader.
