i've made several attempts at watching season 4 of the marvelous mrs maisel, but i can only take so much because every character has started to become a little too annoying, and at this point the only arcs i’m still invested in are midge & joel & somewhat lenny, so there’s really no motivation in me to watch the whole season. and yet at the same time i want to say i watched it all the way through so i keep making my way through it in little bits and pieces

#don't get me wrong i Loved the first two seasons of this show #they made me laugh so much and it was a good brand of comedy #lots of swearing but i got used to that pretty quick #it was just a very tongue in cheek and somehow endearing journey of this cast of slightly broken messed-up people #and especially with midge. how she learned to find herself again and cope with her separation through humor and laughter and comedy #but after season 2 it just started going downhill #idk it seems less genuine after that #season 3 was tolerable and had some good moments but then there was that ENDING #so of course i have to watch season 4 to find out what happens #but honestly it's the constant on and off relationship between midge and joel that started to put me off it #because yeah of course their relationship is messy (understandably so) but they've made no attempt to actually communicate #that's the main problem for most of the characters here actually #it's a show about stand up comedy but ironically everyone has the most difficult time communicating in their personal relationships #and ok. i don't even ship midge and joel. BUT it seems disrespectful and rather flippant to treat a divorce/separation so lightly #especially without ever delving into the underlying issues and causes (they explored this a little bit in season 1 and 2 which is why those #seasons were stronger and more compelling in my opinon)#anyways. character arcs wrapped up nicely in season 2 so that's where i want to say the show ended #i like my comedies deep and insightful as well as funny #meta finding tag #the marvelous mrs. maisel #belle speaks
