What Is 30 Rock About?
Created by and starring Tina Fey, the series is a surreal, satirical, and lightning-fast workplace comedy loosely based on Fey’s time as head writer for Saturday Night Live. whats-on-netflix
It follows Liz Lemon, the perpetually stressed head writer of the sketch comedy show TGS with Tracy Jordan, whose life is upended when a hyper-capitalist new network executive, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), takes over and forces her to hire unpredictable movie star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) alongside her narcissistic best friend Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski).
Every episode is packed with rapid-fire jokes, absurdist humour, and celebrity cameos. It’s the kind of show you can rewatch a dozen times and still catch new gags.
