2x01: SIMONE | 4x08: HOW DO YOU GET TO CARNEGIE HALL?

[xxtrixster]

Ok season four.

Susie is a goddamn lesbian? I probably missed the subtle coding and jokes, but it's confirmed no kiss or hand holding, her one love, gone forever can never try another. Susie is the type who would have beaten them off with a stick and you can't even gives us a gay club or hangout.

Also I hated the ending. I hated how Midge got her break. I hate how it was dependent on her seizing the stage. I wish it had been some other way, playing at a club cause someone was sick. I dunno just felt cheap and rushed. Also hate how they made her so rich she could live in a literal castle. I dunno it feels like she was funny, but she was never legendary, and she probably committed financial fraud to get the money. It's like the show went from saying yeah girl power to ohhhh capitalism works if your rich. Or probably always said that.

Hate her kids ended up being not even interesting, just rich like her. I wish they had been struck off and raised their chosen family different and we get to see a clash. I feel she would've made it, invested well, wealth builds wealth, and kept her apartment worth a fortune in the 80s, decorated like she's always had it, including her dad's study. She's a comedy legend, digested to fund bunch of films.

I dont mind Susie being so powerful as to be honored at the friar club or being behind all the successful blockbusters or Dina running new york, good for her. I don't think she live in an island house. She was always about New York. She have a pent house with shitty coffee pot and trash and probably a ton of pigeons she raised. She probably travel well and eat well but at the end she wants to be left the fuck alone to enjoy her money.

She and midge meet up at the diner once a week order shame shitty coffee and food and no one bothers either of them.

Joel I stand by should have stayed corporate and last season he's shown as having done exactly as expected to golf now, retire and complain to turn off Midge old stand up.

ok i finally got around to watching the last episode of mrs maisel and oh ?? my ?? god ??????????

first of all wHAT?? like i figured a drama filled cliff hanger was very possible given last season's ending but wow i wasn't expecting that. I mean I'm always shocked in this show but wow.

and I really liked Reggie.. he was tough but he was smart you know? but that was the coward's way out and he hurt Midge for his own screw up. ugh. and poor Shy, he doesn't understand and is probably extremely hurt because Reggie would rather lie to him than own up to his own mistake. UGH. the anger is still strong.

also Rose has been a less than stellar character this whole show but that's the height of yikes I think.. I do wonder if something's gonna come back for Ben and Midge because he would've been a supportive husband, he wouldn't have minded her telling jokes because that was the woman he fell in love with originally. she made her choice and didn't even talk to him so I do wonder about them..

When they showed Rose talking to Ben and then Susie admitting to losing all Midge's money I thought for sure they were gonna say Midge would do a marriage of convenience so that her family could have a place to stay. kinda glad that didn't happen but that just goes to show how unprepared I was for every single thing that happened this season.

and then Archie. ugh. men are dUmb. really really dumb. he thought he could just leave home like Joel did, save for the sleeping around bit, and just not be a father for awhile but it would all be fine and Imogene would just take him back. what because Joel is such a great example of model father/husband behavior?? it's not like the relationship he and Midge have was something that came easily. it happened with a lot of broken pride(on his part) and hurt feelings (on hers). they worked it out cos they realized they loved each other and they loved their kids. amicable divorced parenting isn't a common thing Archie and you should feel stupid. also was that Imogene going out and getting a job at the end? is that about that feeling of self reliance and independence? good for her if that's what they were meaning.

also can we talk about how Zelda deserves better?? hands down my favorite character (except for Mei). and omg Joel's parents. Moishe is sarcastic which I like cos I relate to it. and I do love that he and Midge had that talk.

oh and then there was that thing they tried to force between Lenny and Midge that about made me throw hands cos I've loved their friendship from the start and why can't men and women just be friends without one of them being gay ?? tv do you not understand? I'm not asking for much. that really pissed me off though. they're great and they come in and out of each other's lives at different stages and they inspire each other but they wouldn't work together. they wouldn't. stop forcing every heterosexual pairing possible for the sake of tv plEASE.

and then that whole mess with Sophie was disappointing but I'm not surprised. she's so self centered she couldn't even see she was ruining a good chance all because she reverted back on what was comfortable. she got nervous, it was her first show, so mess up a few lines!! don't try and take over the show with your cringy overused comedy.

and then Astrid as a mom.. that poor kid lol. also Mei and Midge finally meeting!! ah it was as great as I expected (read: them torturing Joel) I wish they'd shown Mei's reaction to her on stage but I guess they didn't figure it was too important. and Jackie?? who looks like a whole mess?? is this wonderful househusband!! oof. the updates he did to Susie's apartment, the little apron he wears. how he doesn't take any of her shit and gives it right back. noice. but that weird stalker guy could maybe go away lol.

all in all im still hooked and im three seasons in so I'd say it's a success. it's really hard for me to stay with a show after season one and season two was iffy at times for me but they picked it up perfectly, or as perfectly as a show that thrives on the crazy can be.
