- TriviaThe credit song for Season 1, Episode 1 was Dave Edmunds' cover of Elvis Costello's Girls Talk. For the series finale, the closing credits song is Tegan And Sara's cover of the same song.
- GoofsThe opening chryon says "San Francisco 1965", but when Suzy tells Lenny Bruce that she can get him booked for club dates, he responds, "There are no more club dates. This, tonight was a fluke. They thought they booked Bruce Lee." The earliest anyone in the United States would have heard of Bruce Lee would have been September 1966, after Lee's debut as Kato in ABC's "The Green Hornet" (one month after Lenny Bruce died).
- Quotes
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel: I want a big life. I want to experience everything. I want to break every single rule there is. They say ambition is an unattractive trait in a woman. Maybe. But you know what's really unattractive? Waiting around for something to happen. Staring out a window, thinking the life you should be living is out there somewhere but not being willing to open the door and go get it. Even if someone tells you you can't. Being a coward is only cute in The Wizard of Oz.

Featured review
well done!
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.
