The final season of Maisel had a lot of experiments, as it zipped through time to ingeniously tie everything together. Overall it was successful, but for me, this episode was just ... not that great.
This is basically a bunch of conversations. 2 or more people get together and they talk for like 10 minutes, and then 2 or more different people get together and they talk for 10 minutes, and on it goes. There's no story, there's not much in the way of theme. It's like they just took all the leftover conversations they'd meant to write and blasted them all out at once.
Even though some of it's entertaining, most of it isn't. And while Abe's soliloquy, which my girlfriend really liked, is an interesting one for the character, it's still just a long speech.
I see a lot of people absolutely loved this episode, but for me it's the weakest of the series by far.
