There's a clear storytelling benefit to knowing well in advance when a show is going to end, and — better yet — knowing well in advance what the final scene in the series will be.
"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino knew both of these things heading into the fifth and final season of the Prime Video show, and the final episodes are infinitely better for it. The series, which follows Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) as she struggles to make it big as a comic in the early 1960s, was able to give a holistic view of her fictional life in these final episodes, giving us the closure we need as the show ultimately steps out of the spotlight.
When we last left Mrs. Maisel, she was wandering through the snow after Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby) told her to stop getting in her own way by refusing to be anyone's opening act,...

The series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino has been a success in its four previous seasons. Starring Rachel Brosnahan, it picks up a bit in the wake of Seinfeld, though this time in the 1950s and starring a woman and her stand-up monologues.

Enjoy it.

Midge Maisel is back, and she's better than ever.
On The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4 Episode 1, things are looking pretty dire for Midge, out for revenge after Shy abandoned her on the tarmac.
Midge is nothing if not tenacious, though, and with Susie at her side, she's ready to change the way people view women in comedy.
It's such a pleasure when a high-quality show returns with the panache and pizzazz of its previous seasons.
The return of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has been highly anticipated (and delayed due to Covid) ever since the gut-punch of Season 3's finale.
The show is already off to a roaring start, giving Midge an epic, expletive-laden set at the Gaslight detailing her thirst for revenge. Midge is at her best when she's in the zone.
Two antisemitic Nazis walk into a bar, and one says to the other, "Who does your taxes?"

Look for the Woman Richmond Shepard Theatre
I am leery about attending "slice-of-life" plays. The phrase is credited to French playwright Jean Jullien of the late 19th/early 20th Century, as a goal for those who wished to emphasize naturalism as an antidote to the stiff artificial theater of his era. For me, the phrase had come to mean gritty, often vulgar and clichéd dramas about colorless people "trying to be a somebody" against the odds of their circumstances, and on and on. Yet, how delightfully pleased I am to have attended Look for the Woman, a new play by Christie Perfetti. Look for the Woman, with fine direction by Matilda Szydagis, skillfully elevates and exalts the slice-of-life family drama and generously presents a thoughtful and moving evening of theater.
The play takes place over two days, a wake and the following day of the funeral, in an unidentified small town in Upstate New York,...
