I really thought that, whilst the first two seasons of "The Marvellous Mrs Maisel" were excellent, the inclusion of a screwball element into the third season brought it up an extra notch, and I'm glad to say that that element is doubled down on for some of the more memorable scenes in this penultimate fourth season.
Having been unceremoniously dumped from Shy Baldwin's tour, Miriam (Rachel Brosnahan) suddenly has financial worries having just purchased the apartment, an issue she tries to alleviate by having Abe (Tony Shalhoub) and Rose (Marin Hinkle) move in with her. Joel (Michael Zegen) hasn't told his parents about Mei (Stephanie Msu) which is unfortunate as his mother is bombarding him with potential matches. Susie (Alex Borstein) finally established a proper office and adds some more 'talent' to her agency.
Of all the shows I'm watching at the moment, "Mrs Maisel" has proved to be the one I've looked forward to the most. It's another funny season, with the visit to Coney Island and the family on the Ferris wheel being the absolute best moment. Maybe it's just because I was enjoying it, and not thinking too deeply about it, but I didn't see the reframing of Midge's actions, that Lenny Bruce provides in the last episode coming. It's not exactly a twist, per se, but another look at her motivations for what she's done in this run.
I love that it's a big ensemble of and that all the characters get to be funny and have their own storylines. I love the recreation of the 1950's/60's. I love the show in general. Looking forward to the next run.
