8/10
Great foundation for last season

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel continues its streak of outstanding television with the episode "Go Forward", which showcases the pivotal moments when Joel's downfall begins and Midge's rise to fame takes off.

Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Midge, gives a stunning performance as she works to get over the giant wake up call Lenny gave her.

Meanwhile, Joel's life is crumbling with Mei leaving him (presumably Stephanie Hsu busy getting nominated for Oscars). As Joel cracks up, Midge rises again.

The writing, direction, and performances in "Go Forward" are all top-notch, creating an emotional and engaging storyline that explores the complexities of ambition, relationships, and self-worth. It's difficult not to cheer for Midge as she takes on her new role as a trailblazer, challenging gender norms and societal expectations.
