History YMMV / UnbreakableKimmySchmidt

* BrokenBase: Some fans take understandable issue with the very white Jane Krakowski playing a Native American character, especially the jaw-dropping hypocrisy of her line in the Season 1 finale about Natives having to suffer through being played by other races on TV.

* LesYay: Between Kimmy and Jacqueline, especially since Jacqueline asks her to spoon with her.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Logan crosses it in his attempts to resolve the LoveTriangle between him, Kimmy, and Dong. Specifically, he alerts immigration to Dong's status as an illegal citizen, putting the latter under constant danger of being deported for the rest of Season 1. Dong only managed to escape the raid on his workplace because he was out on a delivery at the time. To top it all off, Logan actually ''revels'' in his decision. It's what leads Kimmy to dump him on the spot.]]

*** Some people found issue with Cyndee getting engaged to a gay man, knowing his sexuality; it's implied that Brandon was in a romantic relationship with another man before she was released from the bunker. On the few occasions where she's brought to task for her unfair treatment of him, acting like she deserves him purely due to what she's been through, the person talking to her is treated as the bad guy, or at least eventually comes to accept or support her. While Brandon makes it clear that he's with her out of pity, she fully intends to ignore his needs for the sake of her own happy ending.

* MagnificentBastard: Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne.

* TheScrappy: Randy, Kimmy's stepfather, seems to be widely disliked because of his moronic, bumbling nature (which is extreme even for ''this'' show) and how he's not nearly as interesting as the other characters. In particular, many fans were disappointed when he made a return in the last couple of episodes and yet Kimmy's half-sister [[ReplacementGoldfish Kymmi]] didn't.

** All of the bunker flashback scenes. When you actually stop and think about it, the fact that four these women have been kidnapped, forced underground, been psychologically abused and lied to, and God knows what else for ''fifteen years'' is deeply unsettling and horrifying. But all of the scenes in the bunker are just so over-the-top and ridiculous that it's impossible not to chuckle at them.

* CompleteMonster: Richard Wayne Gary Wayne kidnapped four women (at least two of whom were teenagers), psychologically abused them, made them do "weird sex stuff" and told them the world had been destroyed for 15 years. He's charming and ridiculous, but never forget that he's a hardcore misogynist and a serial rapist.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Titus crashes the funeral of an elderly Korean gentleman (the service was even in Korean) while pretending to be a close friend of the deceased to try and sell the lie he told to Mrs. Kaushtupper. Then Mrs. Kaushtupper notices the microphone in his pocket (he was preparing to go to a photoshoot) and he has to lie again and say that the family requested he sing a song and ends up interrupting a moment of silent prayer to go up to sing Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You"!
** Lillian is a widower who had a black husband. A Black Husband who she mistook for a black stranger in the dark, so she shot and killed him.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Logan crosses it in his attempts to resolve the LoveTriangle betweeen him, Kimmy, and Dong. Specifically, he alerts immigration to Dong's status as an illegal citizen, putting the latter under constant danger of being deported for the rest of Season 1. Not only that, but it got nearly every one of Dong's co-workers sent back as well. It's what immediately leads to Kimmy dumping him.]]
