Featured reviews
This episode is presented as a documentary that focuses on what happened with DJ Slizzard, whom we know as Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, the man who kept Kimmy and the Mole Girls kept in an underground bunker. Granted, it feels bad to have an episode without Kimmy, Titus, and the gang but the episode does expand and adds more depth to the events of previous seasons while also setting up new events that will later be explained. But overall, it's still fun, if you give it a chance, and the show runners present it as an actual documentary, adding a unique style. John Hamm was once again fantastic as The Reverend, adding a more realistic touch to his performance.
This is the final season of this show and they decided to spend an episode on a character that wore out his welcome in the first season.
This might be an unpopular view, but in my opinion the first series tanked right at the end as it strayed from the funny and dwelled in the serious. I've no problem with the show addressing the dark aspects of Kimmy's confinement, but the courtroom drama left the laughs thin on the ground.
Well in this episode they're pretty non-existent. I smirked a few times, but that's about it. The entire episode is devoted to a exploration of the back story of Kimmy's captor, through the lens of an entirely new character. It's quite competent and well made as a spoof of a documentary show, but it's so lacking in laughs it really fails to justify itself.
This is the *final season*, and there are only a few episodes left. This episode is simply a waste of valuable time that could have been spent on the characters we know and love, instead of crafting a "worthy" episode for the critics to fawn over.

I had no expectations for this episode, but it ended up being the funniest one they ever did. It seems to have hurt a few feelings, though. Lots of monocles popped and neckbeards rustled.
I thought it was a nice episode to switch up the usual vibe of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitd. I found it very entertaining because I think they did a great job making it feel like an actual documentary, or, a parody of one. The calls in the middle of the night, the looking at the cameramen, the narration. I wish they experimented a bit more with the episodes.

- TriviaThe footage of the young Reverend Wayne on a dating show is actual footage of a 25-year-old Jon Hamm on an episode of The Big Date (1996) from 1996. The producers digitally altered his name tag to read "Richard", but all of his dialogue is from the original show. In reality Hamm didn't win a date either.
