Marvelous Mrs Maisel

There’s a nice very-last scene where Midge and Suzie are over 70 and crotchedy-mellow. But before that is the climax scene where she appears on the Gordon Ford show and kills and everybody in the whole world loves her to sappy bits.

Of those, 69 were outright hysterical; 147 were excellent; 171 were very good; 97 were good enough; 28 were so-so; 16 were rather disappointing; 1 was reminiscent of my last colonoscopy prep.

All those tropes and songs reminiscent of my childhood milieu. But they just surrounded a touching portrayal of a very unlikely relationship, the one between Midge and Suzie.
