'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Sheba Goodman is one of the best characters ever written and she made Lilian's story more fun

The show has given us diverse, well-rounded, actualized realistic characters, with one of our favorites being the comically weird Sheba Goodman, played by Busy Philipps. 
UPDATED JAN 2, 2019

It is a bittersweet time to be an ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ fan, the anticipation of second half of season 4 just around the corner tempered with the knowledge that it would be the final few episodes of the series. As we draw closer to Friday, January 25, 2019, it's almost impossible to not look back on all the great things that the show has given us, starting with the diverse, well-rounded, actualized realistic characters, with one of our favorites being the comically weird Sheba Goodman, played by Busy Philipps. 

Sheba is the wild child of Artie Goodman (Peter Riegert), Lilian’s (Carol Kane) latest love interest. She is almost as bizarre as Lilian, but hasn’t reached that ripe age where we see her kookiness as endearing instead of damaging and scary. 

Introduced in the first half of season 4, she starts off as someone who only cares about her father’s wealth, but we see her evolve into a well-rounded human being, who is troubled and scared, intimidated by her father’s impressive legacy. Instead of living up to it, she chooses to do the exact opposite and keeps everyone on the edge of their seats by doing the most unpredictable, oftentimes stupid things.
