'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs The Reverend': TV Review (Link)
"After making alternately great and terrible decisions that led the characters to wild success and/or wilder bodily harm, I can say that 'Kimmy vs. The Reverend' is impressively smart about how it tangles and untangles its narrative depending on what you choose to do with it... Spinning 'Kimmy Schmidt' off into dozens of directions paved with countless ludicrous jokes just makes sense, and brings out the best in it."

'Kimmy vs. the Reverend' uses a choose-your-own-adventure format as a nonstop joke delivery system (Link)
"The real pleasure comes in seeing how many different amusing variations on the same idea Fey and company (including director Claire Scanlon) can devise and execute. The main story is always roughly the same, and it can be a headache to navigate through everything multiple times just to get to new jokes, but the comic rewards are almost always worth it.
On almost every level, this is a much better use of the concept than Bandersnatch was, and a smart way to revive a show whose story was pretty neatly wrapped up already. But it doesn't necessarily prove out the choose-your-own-adventure concept as a whole."
