The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (TV Series) Susan (2023) User Reviews

Excellent

[pauli_gomez · 9/10 · 4 June 2023]

It was a very good episode, visually stunning and sets up something about Suzie that it is quite interesting, There are musical numbers that are so fun and great to watch. There is drama at Midge's job. Suzie is in trouble, and then something else happens.

And in a side story, Abe acts like a jerk and pays for it. The acting of Abe and Rose was great as always.

All the writing for the episode was superb and Midge is, as always, an entitled brat who has not an ounce of professionalism. I think there should be a cautionary tale, talent itself is not enough. It is difficult to root for her actuall.

Waste Management

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 23 April 2023]

Susie is in bed with the mob. They have set her up in business, but now they come to ask a favor. They control commercial waste management in New York City and are part of a mob expo. They want Midge to do two shows. She manages to get time off and we get to see the tasteless (though highly entertaining) stage show. Great imagination and choreography. She pulls it off. Susie thinks her participating will free her from any obligations. When Midge is turned down for a spot on of the Ford shows, even though he is desperate, she is in a snit. She sabotages the second show. We also realize that these guys never let anyone off the hook with potentially deadly consequences. There is a scene also where Abe embarrasses himself by trying to show up Rose in front of friends at a restaurant. The spectacle and creativity make this an outstanding episode.

This episode was bonkers...

[korkypeachmom-205-921354 · 6/10 · 6 July 2023]

Although I've titled this review "This episode was bonkers," let me be clear that I actually think the entire series has been bonkers. The main character is pretty annoying and lacking in self-awareness. I feel obligated to see it through as I've come this far.

Anyway, is it just me or did they actually manage to rip off The Simpsons episode "Trash of the Titans" starring Steve Martin AND Elmo in Grouchland?! I'm honestly exhausted by this show in general and normally wouldn't bother writing a review. However, the musical numbers about trash, clever though they may be, were definitely derivative.

I love Tony Shalhoub but even his character is starting to wear thin at this point.
