Juliette's 2016 Year in Review

This year, I am taking the bold step of making up my own categories for my Year In Review. This
inevitably means they may be quite boring categories!

I keep detailed records of all the films I see at the cinema, but not of all the TV shows I watch, so there may be a tendency for more detail in the Film categories. I've also watched surprisingly little TV this year, comparatively speaking, but hey ho, quality over quantity!

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Season One

“Females are strong as hell.”

Abduction. Rape. Imprisonment. Day-Glo yellow tennis shoes. Those hardly sound like the ingredients for a rousing comedy, do they? But The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt takes a dreary premise—woman is rescued from cult leader who has kept her in a bunker for over a decade—and transforms it into an upbeat comedy evocative of both the best episodes of 30 Rock and the most life-affirming Beyonce song you can think of.
