After the tumultuous end to the third season, Rachel Brosnahan's budding comic is back where she started as Amy Sherman-Palladino's dramedy returns.
Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen, Marin Hinkle, Tony Shalhoub, Kevin Pollak, Caroline AaronThe mistake felt like the climax of a season in which Midge was slowly moving outside of her insular bubble of 1950s affluence, setting her and the story up for growth within the tumultuous 1960s. Not so fast!
Or maybe it just makes sense that when it comes to Midge’s season three actions, a reset would be a character-appropriate consequence? One step forward, two steps back, and whatnot? For Midge, it’s a return to personal, rather than professional, stakes, especially since she gives no indication of awareness that what she did to Shy was bad . Again, she faces the indignities of being disrespected as a single mother and the challenges of getting anybody to take her seriously as a comedian, now owing to her notoriety — Shy canning her made headlines — rather than exclusively her gender.
Instead, Midge has been given several alternatives for her affections, and their collective failure is evident in how thoroughly Lenny’s absence is felt in the season’s first two episodes. It’s a bad position for the show to be in, because I don’t love Midge and Lenny as a couple, but the show needs them as a couple.
