Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend is the second-ever Netflix interactive episode following Black Mirror's Bandersnatch, and it has already been hailed as a triumph from enthusiastic viewers. The episode follows Kimmy as she discovers that the reverend who kept her in a bunker for years might have yet another bunker - all just a few days before her wedding day (to Daniel Radcliffe, no less). 

WATCH: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme song

While the show lets you choose between a series of options regarding Kimmy and her friends, viewers spotted a hilarious trick which allows them to watch the full version of the hugely popular theme song. As the show's intro begins, Netflix's usual 'Skip intro' option appears. However, upon selecting the option, Mike Britt, who plays the neighbour who is auto remixed in the opening song, appears on the screen and tells the viewer that they now have to listen to the entire, unedited version of the song, saying: "You want to skip my intro? Nah-ah."

Ellie Kemper, who plays Kimmy, opened up about the new one-off episode, and how it felt to kiss Daniel Radcliffe. Chatting to Ellen DeGeneres, she said: "I kissed him multiple times, Ellen, and I felt so bad for him because a) I’m three times as old as he is, but b) I’m pregnant at the time of us shooting... I felt so bad he had to kiss this old pregnant lady over and over again. There was a moment when he like grazed my belly… it felt wrong, but he’s a trooper. He’s very lovely. He’s a class act."
