I am finally letting myself watch the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I always put off watching the last season of my favorites to make it last longer. I just have to say that Alex Borstein is an incredible actress. There have been a few episodes when she has blown my mind and she just did it again on Episode 4. She is amazing.

Can you imagine Midge’s costume? Midge and Joel pulling a drunken all nighter to finish Ethan and Esther’s costumes?

Susie insisting she hates Halloween and ending up militantly passing candy out to trick or treaters at Midge’s place because she thought they were meeting to go over tour stuff, only to be abandoned by Midge + Joel taking the kids out and Rose + Abe going to a party hosted by a Columbia colleague (“ONE PIECE PER KID!!! YOU TOOK TWO, I SAW THAT AND SO DID SATAN!”)

Moishe and Shirley striving to be the “best house” in the neighborhood with full bars and haunted decor that ends up being a little too scary?

Late night Halloween at the Gaslight, Midge + Susie freaking themselves out with ghost stories and hearing weird noises in the basement but ultimately discovering (the late) Jackie’s secret private bathroom complete with bidet?

They were their happiest in Paris. Like the most loving I’ve ever seen them. Rose definitely enjoyed being the smarter one for once, and Abe definitely enjoyed the challenge.

Susie gets a lawyer for midge because she says the 7 words you can't repeat .the lawyer is played by max casella .whose max casella you ask ? he played doogie howsers friend on doogie howser .the doogie howser show started Neil Patrick harris.

Also are there live shows like that nowadays? I just love how they show there body but not demeaning in a way?

Good article on the fictional characters in the show and their real life inspirations.

My husband watches Mrs Maisel when Im watching so he knows the catskills episodes by heart. He asked me if the Maisel and the Weissman knew each other from before the marriage in the catskills? Werent them spending their summers there too?

Why does the wall above the sink in Rose and Abe's kitchen look like this? It seems like someone taped a piece of brown paper on the wall. You can see what looks like wrinkles on the lower left.

Things I have noticed that I didn't see the first time.

• Is Ethan "happy" at school because he's relatively neglected at home? When he wants to be in bed with his mother to protect him, Midge goes to sleep in his bed and pulls Esther in bed with her. Ethan wanted to be loved and chose to be happy because he could just be loved unconditionally there.
• Moishe was purposefully not in the 4 minutes scene because he would have likely heckled Miriam. He never lets her finish a joke. He doesn't want her to succeed because he loves his son and if she doesn't, she'll come back to Joel (at least that's how he sees it). His asking Joel if he was okay after learning that Mei left him, tells me how much he is a caring parent first and wants his son happy.
• Joel and Midge were so endgame, they never would love anyone more than each other and it's so beautiful how much they would give up for each other.
• Hedy still loved Susie. The way that she chases her around bursting with her smile, wanting to tell her everything when she saw her, she wanted to see Susie and apologize and maybe be together again. Susie shut the door on love when Hedy left her, but Hedy likely still loved her.
• Abe's realization was basically him understanding the last five seasons of how much time he spent doubting Miriam. He realized how brilliant and resilient she was and had Noah not started playing the violin, how many brilliant things would he have seen Miriam do. It was because Ethan was loved by everyone but his mother and Esther was ignored, he wondered what brilliance of Miriam's he missed out on. The quiet brilliance and resilience he ignored.
• Zelda's storyline still doesn't make much sense, I don't quite get why it was thrown in. Maybe to show that some women who are working will choose marriage?

What did you guys find and did you agree with any of my findings?

I have just, literally, finished the series after about a month of watching it. And I am devasted when I searched for the 6th season and there's NONE! I'm gonna miss Mrs. Maisel and Susie and Joel and Abe T.T

But as I'm writing this, the ending of Season 5 is good that I can't stay mad for the abrupt ending. It feels so light and calming seeing Midge and Susie talk over the phone watching at the same time. Their friendship is just wonderful. The characters are great and their development is just beautiful.

The show is indeed MARVELOUS!

If you want another excuse to rewatch the series, today is Yom Kippur so why not get drunk with Midge and relive her story once again?

who was the best guy for Midge? personally i totally liked the dynamic with Benjamin, i love me a “enemies” to lovers kind of trope and it broke my heart to watch when he confronted her at the restaurant and see how hurt he was…..

even thought every now and then her dynamic with Lenny had me kicking my feet a little teehee

joel u can gtfo.

View Poll

It probably is made for dramatic context am not sure who would want to divorce someone like Midge. Through out the show I just kept having this hate towards Joel’s character. The rich ex-lazy handsome guy who cheats and divorce for no reason.

Though it is added to the story for deepening the dramatic effect and greater context, but there are ungrateful folks like that in the street you see them all the time. May sounded like a decent woman but emotionally much less stable than Midget something nor he scores high on that department, he is short tempered and keeps his low-pitch nagging over normal day to day matters. The show was successful to make just distaste his character all throughout.

By the last season the show lost its grip of me -events wise but absolutely not the dramatic, visuals and decoration aspect.

Made them for my Tomodachi life save :)

I assume they do it to make her appear her age. But I find it cringey and what put me off to the show in the beginning.

*edit: thanks for all the comments. makes sense now.

I've just started the 1st episode of season 4 to find yet again everything our protagonists having been working on has fallen apart. It feels like everytime anyone starts succeeding the show has to tear them down and its kinda depressing if I'm being honest. I've been really enjoying the series and I don't mind some stress, angst and pessimism but its past the point of draining now. Plus from what I've heard the ending wasn't properly finished and isn't necessarily cheery.

I'm on the fence about finishing the show now, as it just seems miserable. Does it get any better? Are the last two seasons good? Or are they just riding of the success of the earlier series?

He plays the supportive dad so not a smooth operator like Lenny Bruce was, but an important looking film. Cool they cast an actress with a disability to play a kid with cerebral palsy.

Out of my Mind Trailer

IMDB says In Production and I am literally dying when will the production finish so we could watch it.

From what I've seen on this sub this seems to be a slightly controversial opinion but I genuinely believe that season 5 was a great ending not just to the show but as an ending of ANY long standing show. Sure, I would have LOVED for more content, more stories and to see more of the characters throughout their lives but this was amazing, I honestly can't think of a show with a better season 4+ end. And they didn't drag it out as a cash grab like so many productions do.

As much as I've loved it and thought it was cleanly ended I would kill to see that cast together again for more content. For the first couple episodes of season 5 I thought it was gonna be shit but I really like how they included the 'start' of midges new life aswell as the end.

I also thought they tied up alot of the shows loose ends very naturally, especially her making peace with her folks, Joel and eventually with Susie.

I'm also happy that we got to see Suise's storyline because it felt like he show kinda danced the line of Susie's character being main or supporting.

Happy to discuss the show with anyone, literally watched it from start to end in a week and half so it's kinda in my mind rn.

I'm binging the series and looked up a question about the show. Google AI spoiled the depressing ending. The result wasn't even related to my qiestion. 👹

So I came across this picture on pinterest, reverse image searched(and searched the name on the picture)and was only able to find it on a few tumblr blogs(I can’t tell what the original source is, basically). Can anyone help me? I’m early Christmas shopping and this would literally be beyond perfect for someone in my life, as a print or something. I might be able to find out eventually on my own, but I thought I’d ask here just in case. Thank you

Hi guys! I posted the other week about scene suggestions for my acting class (thanks to everyone who suggested!), but unfortunately someone dropped out of the class and our scene partner assignments got reshuffled, so now we're looking for a scene between Midge and one of the men in her life. It can be any one of them--Joel, Abe, Benjamin, Lenny, Gordon, etc. Just not Shy since my scene partner is white.

These are the parameters we were given:

• We have to be able to cut it down to 1.5-3 minutes
• It can't be a flash-forward scene from Season 5
• Midge has to be the main focus of the scene rather than her scene partner
• More comedic than dramatic
• It can't require too many props/set pieces (it's an acting for film class, so it's going to be filmed instead of done onstage, and we have limited space and resources)
