Featured review
Taking Midge Seriously
As a penultimate episode, this sets the stage for a fulfilling season finale, while also wrestling with larger themes of legacy and nostalgia.
The episode is full of nods to the past, as Midge visits her old school and wondering about the word "Don't" she wrote without context. Many scenes capture the essence of family and intergenerational relationships, as well as showcasing the cast's terrific talent.
But the real standout moment of the episode comes at the end, with a stunning scene featuring Tony Shaloub's Abe. The actor delivers a powerhouse performance, conveying a complex blend of emotion in just a few short minutes. His monologue about finally realising who his daughter was was poignant.
Look forward to finale.
