Rumble on the Wonder Wheel

As always, this series delivers a beautifully shot episode with some stellar acting, writing, directing, costumes, everything! I wish a little more happened and there was less yelling, but the opening and ending scenes are near-perfect. Can't wait for the rest of the season!

Season 4 is off to a strong start! It has rapid fire dialogue, tons of energy, and lots of laughs! I laughed aloud multiple times.

As always, the styling and art direction is top shelf!

Tony Shaloub is perfect as the stressed out and frantic Dad. I loved the Coney Island scenes, especially the Ferris Wheel scene. Everything was fast paced and energetic and very entertaining.

My main complaint about so many other shows is that they drag-not this one. It's a fun manic ride from start to finish!

I sincerely hope that the answer to my question in the title will be a resounding "no/neyn/n'et" but EP01S04 was a disappointment. Too much screaming, too much swearing, too shallow humor, and too many recycled punchlines. For instance, it was obvious from the beginning that the Chinese muscle guy will speak English (with an American accent).

Other fantastic TV shows such as All in the Family or Maude, etc., proved that eventually they couldn't keep up the quality, so probably this is a natural process.

Still, Mrs. Maisel is fun to watch and is highly recommended.

This episode is like a bomb going off. From the crazy cab ride from the airport to the trip to Coney Island. The talking is non stop. No one is listening to anyone else. Their ships passing and feelings don't seem to matter. Midge is hurt and angry. Susie needs money to pay her back. So she is doing everything she can to replace it. I'm assuming that future episodes will settle down a bit.

If the first two episodes of season 4 are an indication of where this show is going then they have lost a viewer here. Why is she screaming all of her lines...for that matter why is just about everyone been turned into a cartoon character? Susie and Joel are about the only likable characters fit to watch. I hope this settles back into the wonderful show it was for the first 3 seasons.
