I enjoyed the first season and then couldn’t stay interested. I would love to experience more sucking up. When does that start?

I just finished the second season of FROM, and to no one’s surprise, it left us with no answers and more questions. I should have known, given the threat, “From the producers of LOST,” plastered on every promo. But like a fool, I came back. The difference between season one and season two is as I watched season one, I grew more engaged and intrigued, while as I watched season two, I became increasingly enraged. New rule: if you can’t finish telling a story in 20 hours, you shouldn’t be allowed to start it.

Anyway, I only watched a few episodes of Mrs. Maisel, because the only character who didn’t make my teeth hurt was the dad.

I used to think that in this day and age the Golden Rule was wait until a series ended and you had some assurance of a satisfying ending, but now that shows are disappearing from streaming platforms I'm not sure that still works. But I think 20 hours is generous.

"I am only disappointed that the series finale did not involve a CGI shot of Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) rising into the air…."

That’s been done before, to perfection I might add, by Saint Mary.

"Three years is nothing when you’re building a career. And yet Midge consistently acts like it’s been a lifetime..."

Like, DUH!
