I'm not giving 1/10 because of the core scene with Midge fighting once more to win against the world, which was great.
I loved this show, but honestly apart from the aforementioned scene, this last episode (and last season tbh) is such a disappointment:
Let's get into details:
-- This last season felt rushed and weird. Time jumps were a useless and confusing artificial device.
I loved this show, but honestly apart from the aforementioned scene, this last episode (and last season tbh) is such a disappointment:
- The time jumps make perfectly no sense.
- Most character arcs are left unclosed.
- Precious minutes were wasted during this last episode
Let's get into details:
- Time jumps: seriously why start with this Lenny Bruce scene? What does it add to the plot? Absolutely nothing. Also, why the second scene with Bruce... Only for him to give her this little note she'd put into her bra later on? Useless.
- Most character arcs are left unclosed: there were some major subjects that needed to be dealt with: Midge's relationship with her adult kids, Abe's finally acknowledging Midge's success, Midge & Susie's relationship (how did they make up?!), Midge & Joe giving it another shot. But instead of this, what do we get? Magical future relationship of Midge and Susie, of them being good old friends, because yes the making up part was left off-screen. Honestly useless.
- Precious minutes were wasted during this last episode: I already covered this in my previous points. Important moments could've been shown to close the TV show, but instead we had these useless scenes with Lenny & Susie, that do not bring a thing to the plot and character arcs.
