Nah! A little chocolate will do




Having never watched Seinfeld but loving this show, would I vibe with Seinfeld? Or should I just leave it alone and stick with this?

are you saying that everyone in Mrs. Maisel isn't a lovely person? I mean, based off of what Susie said when she hijacked another funeral service so she could give Jackie a proper send-off I think the only truly good person on the show is Jackie, and all he does is manage a dive bar.

I wonder if she wouldn't be as bad if the stuff with Joel hadn't happened. Midge has always been a poo poo stirrer, but it seemed to be all in good faith until Joel reveals the affair to her. Considering how her parents are, I always thought Midge and Joel were doing quite well as new parents.

I also had thought the final flashforward was going to be Midge alone, struggling for work, and Suzie pitying her. There was no doubt she was going to make it, but I had a feeling we were going to see a "Lenny Bruce in his final years" type final 20 minutes. But, this isn't that kind of show (was I the only one a little weirded out that her bit on Gordon Ford was a literal stdh.txt "and then they all clapped" thing?)

Well, I was expecting her to do something outlandish, but I wasn't expecting it to effectively be the dream scenario. I wasn't expecting a Joker-like "no one was laughing at all, and she was about to get fired as a writer" resolution, but I had thought maybe Gordon would've been like "yeah, you're a comedian alright" and then whisper in her ear during the applause "don't ever do anything like that again, or you're done".

Maybe I'm being too harsh, considering Sophie's bit on the show happened in a similar way to what Midge does, but it's Sophie Lennox. The show has hammered us over the head with how similar both of their stage personas are, but Sophie is a household name, and Midge isn't.

All that said, I still liked the show and am a little sad it's over
