A beautiful finale that does the show, the characters, and the loyal fans justice!

Of course, Midge should get her big shot but there are unexpected twists which lead to an outcome more satisfying than simplicity would have created.

As it should as the finale, the episode had fitting call-backs and flash-forwards and the opportunity to appreciate all the major characters.

There are many poignant moments and I actually wept more than once.

Season 2 left me wondering whether the writers had lost their direction or their skill. But this season was back on course and the finale was a rewarding tribute to fans of the show. Hats off to the writers and the remarkable cast. This final episode particularly showcased the depth and nuance of Rachel Brosnahan (Midge) and Alex Borstein (Susie)'s acting skills. Beautiful! Reid Scott also did an excellent job as the Johnny Carson-like Gordon Ford. And hats off to Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer for her spectacular impression of Carol Burnett. Nice nice ending that makes you glad you stuck with the show.
