I thought it was a nice ending.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the structure of the ending and I like it more than I thought I did. They hit some nice beats there. While actually closing the story up.
That being said it’s hard to tell a story that the audience knows the end. But I thought it worked.
There was a little less humor than I’d hoped for other than
Spoiler!
Whats there to do besides die?
I thought the bits on the Ford show could have been funnier, but they probably did a good job of tailoring it to a 60s tv audience rather than what I think is funny.
I’m continually amazed at how much I enjoyed the show. Despite most of the notes not typically being something that resonates with me.
Well done. I’ll for sure rewatch one of these winters.
Interestingly I rewatched S4E9 of Succession with my buddy before I watched the finale of Maisel. It’s interesting how well written they both are in entirely different ways.
There has been a lot of talk about the writers strike and the writers of Conan or Law and Order or whatever, but things like these 2 shows are what I hope doesn’t get lost as the industry moves forward. We really are in the golden age of TV. Between streamers facing economic realities and the writers strikes and AI and so on it may be over soon, but I hope not. Shows like this one and Succession while being entirely different encapsulate what’s right about the industry.
