This ought to be split into multiple reviews, or at least one review per season. But I was particularly inspired to write a review after crying at the Susie Myerson roast episode. (Season 5, episode 6) this is a review of seasons five and six.
Mild spoilers alert. Nothing too consequential!
Susie and Midge have been through so much over the years and throughout we saw this (unfortunately quite rare in Hollywood) female-female friendship flourish and (very occasionally) struggle. We fell in love with their wry, whip smart, witty banter and to see Midge's tributes to Susie was so moving, I just had to write this
Gordon Ford has been one of my favorite characters in recent episodes, along with James, Susie's actor. And Midge has been navigating the day job minefields with aplomb; I've been very happy to see her succeed where she earlier ultimately failed with Shy.
Abe is a bit annoying but his grandchild drama arcs have certainly been eventful. I certainly look forward to seeing how Ethan and Ethel progress in episodes to come. I hope Ethan finds a talent that makes everyone proud; we wouldn't want to see him completely left behind.
Rose is going to have to wisen up to real business expenses soon enough, and of course they'll have to replace Zelda more permanently. The first episode with her book was quite funny
Overall,
5.7 / 6 stars
