‘Girls5eva’ Season 3 Is a ‘30 Rock’-like Comedy Miracle
When hundreds of 30 Rock clips went viral on social media over last year’s holiday season, the people made their demands clear: They want more shrewd, foolish, joke-a-minute comedies.
Lucky for all of us, Girls5eva—the fourth series in the Tina Fey and Robert Carlock-produced universe, following 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Great News—was resuscitated by Netflix after Peacock decided not to move forward with the show after two seasons. It was a wise decision on Netflix’s part, considering it’s already the streaming home to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and because these sorts of clever comedies have historically done well on their platform. If audiences are clamoring for more shows that prioritize wit over logic, why not scoop one up to put on the front page of the most accessible streamer there is?
The move is a major win for Netflix: Girls5eva’s third season, which drops on the platform March 14, is the show’s best yet. This time around, the series, about an aughts-era girl group trying to restart their career 20 years after their popularity faded, goes completely off the wall. For anyone craving more 30 Rock, this is officially the true successor. Girls5eva Season 3 is the most consistently funny the show has ever been.
