that was actually my problem with it: “i have seen this before”. i watched episode 1 and felt i needed a more compelling reason to continue. characters were likable but their backgrounds felt a bit stereotypical. i haven’t said no forever, just moved it farther down the queue, maybe for paperwork day or something. it felt more like the latter seasons of weeds than the early ones.

meanwhile, binged on season 2 of the marvelous mrs. maisel.

 

now this show is like nothing else out there that i know of. and it’s great.

season 1 was awesome and a breath of fresh air and superfunny too and won some prizes and all that shit.

season 2 starts a little bit wrong: the first episode overdoes the musical choreographies, so much so that they get in the way; and then the story launches into such an incomprehensible plot twist that it takes a little while to figure out where it comes from—actually it took me a consultation with the interwebs to sort out what was what, and i saw others had similar concerns. that episode almost almost jumped the shark. i was like “what the fuck happened!?” i almost dumped it. almost.

but then things start getting interesting, and by midseason it picks up steam like a locomotive. i actually ended up staying up all night finishing it recently, hahahha. very good show and here’s to season 3 coming soon and staying fresh.
