A bittersweet ending to an excellent show.
Season 4 was uneven, with subpar episodes along very good ones, but the finale makes us forgive the earlier shortcomings.
The last scene of the relation between Midge and Susie is well made and hits the right tone.
I would have liked to see, if only briefly, the trajectories of some other characters too, but I understand the writers' choices.
The final episode evokes feelings of delight and sadness in equal measures; and the fact that it does speaks volumes for a show that managed to hide serious character and relationship development under light comedy.
