Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

[+ Autumnal]

I enjoyed most of the first 3 seasons but I am struggling with the 4th. I thought the first two shows this season were really annoying, the next two were pretty good, and the last two seemed to be all over the place. The best about this season is that there are only 2 more shows to watch🥴

For me, Episode Three was the worst. What an insufferable family! And do the actors get a bonus for saying "fuck?" It's way overdone.

Interesting.  I’ve been a faithful viewer, but was on the fence for the first 3 seasons.  Really enjoying the 4th.  Episode 8 with Lenny Bruce was one of the top episodes IMHO.

THE MEDIOCRE MRS. MAISEL finished out its season and somehow I think I'll survive the summer without it.

I think those who weren't raised around a predominantly Jewish community won't totally get this show.  There I said it

Seriously...  It reminds me so much of the neighborhoods I grew up in (although I was an Irish catholic), it brings me a sense of comfort watching Maisel.  I get the rhythms of the script.  The line pickups in the show are just terrific.  Sure, there's some stereotype at play, but it's done with so much love that I can't find fault with it.

COVID played hell with this current season, leaving production to stay mostly in the NYC area.  From a design perspective alone, the show is a brilliant snapshot from the past.  The set design for the burlesque joint was incredible.

I have watched two episodes of Season 4 so far and am struggling to keep watching. The show has gone downhill from Season 1.

I do like Joel.

Season 5 isn't getting much attention here. I have watched 7 episodes and am not sure if I am more annoyed than entertained.

I still find it wordy, witty and intelligent.  It's not a show you only pay half-attention to when watching.

I like how they're wrapping up the story by moving into the future, while also working through her past.  It's an efficient way to resolve everything.  

Amazon continues to spend a mint on this show:  The production value is outstanding.

I’m definitely still enjoying it.

Since the linear narrative format has been abandoned, I want to see a full set from Midge’s Act sometime in the 70’s

[+ Lucky]

Midge's comedy routines continue to be my main reason for watching.

I was never very gaga about the show (her father, his mother, and the perpetually annoying Jane Lynch continuing to make a career out of giving the exact same performance in every production she's in, made watching every scene they were in feel like penance for every minor thing I'd done wrong in my life) so I never bothered watching the last season.

because he needed something to do to pass the time while watching his financial security, or lack thereof, be completely destroyed
