Where I officially jump ship
7 February 2023
I enjoyed the first few seasons well enough, but this season just isn't doing anything for me. I stalled after the first couple episodes, but then recently tried to pick back up and finish the season. By the end of this episode, I realized that I just don't care about any of these characters anymore. Nothing's really intriguing or endearing about any of them. They all seem to make short-sighted and frustrating decisions. There's certainly nothing particularly marvelous about Mrs. Maisel herself. And her standup routines have never been very funny, making the audience laughter feel all the more forced/fake. The overall acting and set pieces continue to impress, but that's just not enough for me to keep spending time on this show. On top of all that, the amount of swearing, particularly f-words, is really just ridiculous. It's not just pointless - the excessive use seems legitimately out of character for the time and people. I don't think I'm going to miss any of this.
