You'd expect more from Tina Fey than this. A direct two season order is a blessing for this show as it wouldn't get it on its originial network for sure.
Although, it's not the worst I've seen and there are better ones being supported after they jumped the shark ages ago for several more seasons (Cougar Town).

However, the show has a likable maincharacter (Kimmy) and some fitting sidecharacters. But the focus lies partially too much on Tidus, the roomate Kimmy shares a basement appartment with. The occasional appearance of some known B/C actors is nice, like Dean Norris or Richard Kind or the recurring role of Jane Krakowski as the boss of Kimmy.
The Person I cannot stand the most is Carol Kane who plays the landlord of Kimmy and Tidus. One of the most "unnecessary" actors I've ever seen. I hate to see her here or in Gotham where she plays the mother of Penguin.
Personal preference aside, the end of the first season (last three eps) is based on most incredible stupidity for laughs. Some form of this would be acceptable as it used throughout the first season anyway (Kimmy's father is borderline stupilarious as long as he doesn't appear too often, or too long), especially since Tina Fey is an executive producer and guestappearing herself in these episodes. But the horrendous level of stupidity makes it barely watchable.

If you expect the same quirkiness as you know from 30 Rock, you won't be entirely disappointed but to some degree nontheless. It's still an okayish, uplifting, sort of wacky attempt at a comedy.
