In the final episodes, Netflix teases that Kimmy will have to choose between helping her friends and helping herself. Part 2 of season four also includes an hourlong “Sliding Doors” episode, inspired by the 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow movie of the same name that explores how the characters lives might have been different if Kimmy had never been kidnapped.

Saying goodbye to any TV show you really love is never easy.
But it’s particularly hard with wildly-clever and inventively-original shows like The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt which wasn’t just very, very funny but also insightful and heartfelt,a rare combination on the sitcom landscape.
You not only got delightfully entertained by Kimmy Schmidt, the adventures of one enthusiastic young woman discovering life again after years of being locked underground by a cult leader (played with devilish hilarity by Jon Hamm), but thanks to the inspired brilliance of creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, you also got to revel in surrealistic satire that skewered the modern world that Kimmy was getting to know with unerring accuracy.
It’s been a colourful and chaotically-silly ride but also it is coming to an end soon … far, far too soon.
Still, that said, it also feels like it’s ending at just the right time with Robert Carlock promising that resolutions for Titus and “the larger arc of Kimmy finding her way and finding herself.”
Still won’t stop me missing it desperately but for now I have six episodes to look forward to come 25 January on Netflix and even a possible movie on the horizon.
