    Wrapped this up. Found it rough through the first episode or so but really fell for it before the end of 2. Performances. Shaloub and Hinkle are great. Pollack too. Bornstein is fantastic.

    Just finished this. I’m in love with Midge.

    Really interested to see how Season 2 goes. The back story with Joel and his father really made me feel for him. He’s such an asshole it’s impressive how they were able to write him to be so pathetic that you actually feel sorry for him.

    Does anyone else thing this would do great as a play? The whole thing seems like it might have originally been written that way.

    Watched episode 1 today on a recommendation and really liked it. Will watch the rest of season 1.

    I agree that Rachel is a national treasure and her tits are marvelous.

    Agreed. A little self indulgent now. The Paris trip was an eye roller (though I loved Abe in that role). And Midge needs to stop being good at every-fucking-thing. Big time Mary Sue character.

    Ah, I'm only through 3 right now. I actually think a lot of the story lines are better for the secondary characters this season (Joel and his dad, Abe and Rose) but I've found Midge to be too much of a caricature this season, even in a show where part of the appeal is the over-dramatics.

    The cultural references in this show are amazing... at the Paris nightclub the New Yorker tells Midge she should see this psychiatrist that really helped her friend Sylvia Plath.... amazing

    Just finished watching over the last month or so. End of Season 3 had me a little confused/disappointed.

    How would Midge be so blind to the sensitivity of the situation? Seems like given how close they were getting, him opening up to her, taking the hiatus, etc, there wasn't a blind spot to be had. Just seemed like a strange take.

    I enjoyed the season a lot.
    Bornstein continues to own the fuck out of her role, which is the real key for me. I liked watching Moishe torture Midge's parents... in fact I liked the whole idea of them losing their lifestyle (sorta). Mei was a really compelling character add - an excellent foil for Joel (whose club pursuit I think is entertaining in its own right).
    It's true that it was stupid for Midge not to get that she couldn't be "real" about Shy in front of an audience - but it actually makes sense in the context of her character, who in spite of being largely honorable is outrageously self-centered, much like her parents.
    I also appreciated that the writers allowed for that flirtation with Bruce without it being cliche and boring.
    Last note - Imogene :laugh: :ohgosh:

    You nailed the underlying message re: Midge. Deep down, she really isn’t a great person and does some awful stuff.

    Damn. I just realized that episode 8 was the last of this season. The last scene with Midge and Lenny was great stuff, good scene to head into the last season I guess.

    Even “down” seasons of this show are very enjoyable imo. I could watch Moishe do damn near anything and would probably laugh a couple times.

    Glad this thread was bumped. Roast episode was great. I don't mind the flash forwards. There was no way they were gonna be able to show Midge and Susie's successes any other way with the limited time they had. Pollock and Shaloub have been great this season, not that that is a big shocker.

    Didn’t love the final season but that was a fantastic finale. Rachel as Midge is one of my favorite characters of all time. Sad to see this one go and really don’t want a Suzy spinoff like some people are hoping for.
