hi, just dropping in to say that (1) i love this little show with all of my heart and (2) Saffron Burrows’ character is not openly gay, she is explicitly written as bisexual. (she is shown having relationships with both men and women over the course of the series.)

if there is a season 4, it is almost certainly the final one. Rachel Bloom has stated that the show was written with a 4-season arc and after that it’s done. (and it’s not enough of a ratings darling that the network will be pressing for more.)

i mean, Rachel Bloom has said in interviews and on Twitter that the show was originally pitched with a 4-season arc. all the networks passed on it, but The CW was game. considering that they’re also expanding their original programming, it’s (hopefully?) safe to assume they’re in it for the duration of Bloom’s vision.…

tbh i think that most of my hate stems from the fact that i LOVED the pilot SO DAMN MUCH. i was SO pumped for the full season to drop but when it finally did i found myself slogging through it. i was completely bored by any scenes that weren’t directly related to Midge’s comedy career.

“Most of your complaints are plot/writing related...”

lol i’m a Jewish woman with a Master’s degree in television writing. i got the show just fine, i just didn’t care for it. thanks for the expert analysis though.

apologies, i thought i was commenting on the full-season review and by the time i realized my mistake it was too late to edit/delete. (damn youuuuuuu, Kinjaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!)

pilot: A

holy paragraph breaks, Batman.

um, the pilot was great, the season was....not.

lol cmon it’s all made a liiiiittle bit weirder by the fact that Marsali calls Jamie “Daddy”, no? >_<

no, they’re not actually related. i was making a joke/observation.

soooo, Jamie’s surrogate son is now married to his surrogate daughter and nobody’s batting an eye, eh? okay! (i’ve accepted weirder premises on this show before!) [/shrug]

listen, i don’t blame Marseli for wanting to get with Fergus so badly she jumps him in the dirty bowels of the ship. i mean... LOOK AT THIS THING....

i thought it was probably going to be a car too! but this was so much better.

i teared up twice THIS EPISODE: first when Max breaks down and tells Sam that she’s the best mom ever, then again at the end of the dance number when they’re all applauding themselves. what a truly lovely way to end this season.

i also have mixed feelings about her extremely close relationship with Louie, but after hearing that she fired their shared manager (Dave Becky) it makes me hopeful for next season.

she just did an hour-long stand-up special for Showtime that was very, very funny: http://www.sho.com/titles/3439345/tiffany-haddish-she-ready-from-the-hood-to-hollywood 

you better check yo’self Perkins, ‘cuz Tiffany Haddish doing Cardi B (with Chris Redd as Offset) was probably the single funniest moment of the season for me so far!

i had a stupid fight with my own obsessive Jewish mom earlier this week and after she sent me an apology (via text, but we’ll take it) i sent her a link to “Heinous Bitch” and we were able to laugh about how much we drive each other nuts.
