This piece contains spoilers about season three ofThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maiselis a show that can often be as annoying as it is charming.
This is especially true in season three, the most uneven batch ofMrs.
In season three, money gets squandered and assets get stripped away.
Throughout this season, Midge has not taken money for granted.
At the same time, she continues to take a certain lifestyle for granted.
While on tour in Miami, she stays at the swanky Fontainebleau hotel.
She still has enough chic, fit-and-flare dresses to be able to change ensembles multiple times in a day.
Midge becoming more woke, for lack of a better word, stands at odds with the shows sensibility.
Joels new club in Chinatown doesnt exactly scream high-end, either.
I dont think the show can continue without its heroine beginning to mature more than she has.
Part of the problem is that series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino really wants us to like Midge.
Were supposed to admire her confidence and find her occasional impatience with the world around her amusing.
It needs to own Midges flaws and really show her wrestling with them.
So just as quickly as Midge got hired, shes out on her ass.
Which, to be fair, hardly makes her an anomaly, in 1960s America or even today.
But Midge has grown up surrounded by people very much like herself.
I hope thats the case.
