I'll soon be 72. Watched a lot of TV and would be hard pressed to recall another American TV episode that put so much on the screen. Not all of it was good. A small bit was bad. Most was inspired.
The after-monologue taxi ride? Forced and close to silly. But Rachel Brosnihan as Ursala Andress in She or sort of an Attack of the 50 Foot Woman did make me chuckle. The detail put into Mrs. Maisel's ex-husband's night club was beyond good. But that Ferris wheel scene? Brilliant.
All the characters literally talking past themselves as they're stuck going round and round an getting nowhere was not only a perfect visual metaphor, but it was also crisp, well edited and utterly entertaining. The payoff for me was when Midge...and only Midge...got off. Only Mrs. Maisel realized that everyone else is trapped in a cage going nowhere. As I said, inspired.
This was a memorable piece of television.
