Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt defies generational and class divides with its three main female characters: Kimmy (Ellie Kemper), Lillian (Carol Kane), and Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski). Kimmy may be a 16-year-old at heart, but that doesn't stop her from coming to the constant aid of socialite Jacqueline. And Lillian might've dated Robert Durst, but she is still able to sit Kimmy down and give her some much-needed dating and life advice. None of them have their lives together and they all face radically different problems, but they share enough universalities and enough genuine affection that we don't question why they seek each other out (unlike some shows . . . ahem, Girls).
