I don't know how many of you guys have seen "Masters of Sex." It was a great show on Showtime until it was canceled after four seasons for reasons beyond the talk here.
Anyway, that show started as a silly and comedy with simple drama about a scientist who wanted to investigate sex scientifically. The show ended on first season with a tip that it is going to get serious, but that didn't happen until episode 3 of the second season that it really happened. That episode was named "Fight". Not to give away any of that story, from that episode, the story got serious. I believe that episode was a transforming episode, one that transformed the show from a silly and funny drama into a dark and real drama. "Fight" really altered the direction of "Masters of Sex" and set its storyline on a new and much darker path.
I believe I saw such transformation here. Prior to this, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was a funny and melodramatic show about a woman who wants to pursue her dream career in stand up comedy. All the great acting, cinematography, music, costumes aside, the story lacked certain depth and layers. Now I believe this episode peeled the skin away so we can see that there is depth to this story. It is not all laughs and comedy, this show has real drama. And it is not just Midge. We see great transformations in Joel, Abe, Shy, Susie, Sophie, and possibly Rose. I feel great about this episode. I think it is going to change the direction of the story afterward.
