Joel de la Fuente tweeted yesterday about watching Rufus Sewell in another Amazon show, and I was so excited when Google informed it was this one. I know what I'll be binge watching this weekend!! Is he only in one episode?
yes. and she gave him the wrong answer when he asked if she was sure she wouldn't sleep with him. ;)
I see a possible season 3 dilemma.
2 men...
was a dna test invented in 1959?
hmmmm....
also...I wonder if Joel will accompany her for the 6 months and maybe sans kids?
probably too long..but 6 months away is also a loooong time.

i so enjoyed the rose and abe scenes, and i like that so much of it involved showing rather than telling, to use that creative writing workshop formulation. i'm glad i've never seen an episode of monk, so i'm just able to enjoy tony shaloub in this role without other points of comparison. and i've been a big fan of marin hinkle's ever since her turn as sela ward's sister on once and again, so it's nice to see her getting more substance in her role this year. i recall a poster here commenting on a last-season episode that it's from her mother that midge gets her comedy and timing, and i agree. and perhaps even moreso than with midge, with rose, there has always been that layer of sadness underneath -- nice to see that brought to the surface for the start of this season. i smiled to see abe's shift back in manhattan, so it's not just a reset to the stereotypical roles from before - would enjoy seeing some of the audited art classes, too, though not sure they are going to continue the deep dive into midge's parents' storylines.
i do have to say, that i cannot wait for them to find out what midge has been up to. you could see she almost told them in the kitchen, but thought better of doing in during her father's "5-8 minutes" before he rushed off to columbia.
the opening montage of susie at the weissmans' apartment was just gold. my favorite cut was from susie laughing at the raunchy redd foxx comedy album then crying while reading charlotte's web. and susie playing the piano so well -- who knew? and the little touch of her tuning the off-note... just loved all of susie in the apartment.
oh and also the little detail of ethan taking a swig of that beer in front of the tv with susie, loved that, too.
and all the susie-midge scenes have been just as wonderful as last season. i find myself grinning from ear to ear whenever they're on screen together. (well-deserved emmys, that's for sure)
regarding midge performing at the new club - i know some folks will probably say that her feminist sensibilities as expressed in her set are anachronistic. i don't carry if they are - if was so satisfying not only to see those guys get their come-uppance, but to see just how she would do it. that kind of smarminess still gets thrown around by guys like that in certain settings, so i was anticipating a vicarious enjoyment of their take-down and it did not disappoint.
Alex Borstein gets better with every episode.

I think someone watched a lot of Tarantino before writing this episode - not that I mind.
And I absolutely loved Rose's plot - I wish she could stay in Paris and be fabulous but I guess that's not going to happen. Also: not sure Silvia Plath's therapist is such a good recommendation.
loved that line!
just like G.G's they come thick and fast.
you have to run to keep up.
the dog called Simone...(de Beauvoir) living apart from her partner. just a fabulous touch.

loving season 2 .
have had so many laugh out loud moments.
one thing I am pondering though...
how is a college prof. able to afford upper west side living, a maid, catering etc?
Did I miss where they said Rose was an heiress? I mean, she doesn't work...the upper class wealth bit is puzzling.
not to mention the extensive wardrobes both mama and midge have. or is this another ironic joke by the fabulous Palladinos?

Season Two: Marvelous Full-Season Discussion
in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
· Edited by winter
Knowing the apt. Comes with Abe's job goes a little way to explaining how they maintain that lifestyle. I'm having to include Rose as inheriting wealth as well though, (in my mind)to make it work. 😀
It is very obvious Ms Bronahan has not yet had children. That beautiful figure! And our genius writer also has not, so we need to be a bit lenient. Personally it does not bother me one bit..in fact I find it funny and not necessary for kids to be included much.
For me both seasons have been an outstanding success.
