The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall? (2022)
An Excellent Season Finale!
I had pretty much given up hope on this season before these last two episodes dropped. I was so frustrated with the continuous pattern of Midge's self-destruction and implosion that I limped through the middle episodes of the season. That was, however, until this episode. This episode is the perfect balance of everything that was messy or frustrating in the entire season: Midge's self-destruction, her resistance on putting her nose to the grindstone and starting (almost) from scratch, the messy family dynamic, and the continuous what-if of Midge and Lenny. Maybe it's my favoritism towards Lenny as a character or maybe this really was the best episode of the series so far. Regardless, this episode has renewed my interest in the show and has determined that Luke Kirby, once again, deserves an Emmy for his performance.
The Chase (2021)
Love, but it needs work
I love "The Chase." As a trivia buff, this show has a such a wide variety of questions that may seem straightforward, but can be deceptively difficult. I've watched the UK version, the other US version, and now this one. While I love the Jeopardy GOATs and what they bring to the show, I have issues with the host. She is personable and charming, yes, but she reads the questions too slowly. This show, especially the Final Chase, largely depends on the pace in which the questions are read and the host reads clearly, but far too slowly. It makes it almost impossible for the Chaser to catch up. I love the reboot and the Jeopardy champs, but, unfortunately, the host throws off the pace too much to make this as competitive and nailbiting-ly enjoyable like the other versions.
