The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has mercifully come to an end.

The first few seasons were exceptionally good. Season 5 was mostly awful. So much wasted opportunity.

1. I enjoyed season one when it first came out

I got into other things and didn't watch the subsequent seasons until just a month or so ago. I have to admit, I'm struggling to just get through season two. The story line jumps back and forth between too many corny scenes, like her mom's excursion to France, and then vacation in the Catskills. What was the purpose?

With the NBA playoffs winding down, I'll watch another episode tonight, but I doubt I'll be able to make it through all the seasons.

3. I know.

There were so many time jumps in Season 5 it felt like a bad case of vertigo.

Really a shame.

But I will say that Midge’s clothes in the early 60’s were wonderful.

2. It got less and less funny as the seasons went on.

I did enjoy Midge’s wardrobe.

5. Yes.

The wardrobe was great.

10. They purchased one of the outfits through our Etsy store.

Green wool suit worn by Mrs. Moyers, the school principal (played by Arden Myrin), season 5, episode 8. It was my late mom's (onetime teacher), and she would have been ecstatic to see it repurposed appropriately.

12. That is so wonderful.

13. Brought a happy tear to my eye. (n/t)

4. One of the best shows of all time, with some of the best writing of all time.

The writing is On par with the best screwball comedies of the 30’s - Bringing up baby, His girl Friday, etc.

Can’t wait to see what the Palladinos do next.

7. I really loved it, and the ending too

I think I will go back and watch them again in a few months time.

[Bread and Circuses]

6. Yep, the series went down the drain

Last season, it started to feel contrived. I tried 3 episodes this season and could not finish it. Too many frantic scenes, near-misses, and what happened to the jokes?

[Tumbulu]

8. I really liked every season

and felt that the end was really nice.

I am sad that it is over, actually.

I know many people that share your feelings, but I liked it more as time went on.

9. Totally agree with you. Absolutely loved the show.

At least for the 1st 3 seasons. Then it took a disastrous turn to almost slapstick acting and storylines. Once the in-laws and parents started being a point of the storylines it was all downhill. The 4th season was so ridiculous, I almost didn't bother with the last season. Still have only watched a few of the 5th season episodes. Guess I just have to see how they wrap it up.

11. I really enjoyed it overall.

That said, I think it was season 3 where they focused on her in-laws. That got real tired, real fast. They were over-the-top stereotypes of Jewish Americans, I thought. Looking forward to binging Season 5.
