    The fourth season has the potential to bring a greater sense of focus and purpose by homing in on the ways that characters are actively changing, rather than repeating old patterns.

    The witty banter flies fast and furious, reaching a hilarious apex in the premiere. [28 Feb - 13 Mar 2022, p.7]

    That’s the thrust of the fourth season – people making bold moves. After two years of life without the Maisels it’s a welcome change.

    This time around, Midge’s story might not always be as pleasant, but it’s much more powerful.

    There’s nothing very radical going on in the new season, at least not yet. ... For now, it’s a treat to wallow in the show’s zippy dialogue, sharp performances, and fabulous production design and costumes.

    It dawdles getting started, but the next-to-last season of this groundbreaking comedy series about a female comic breaking the testosterone ceiling of standup in 1960 returns to peak form as an on-fire Rachel Brosnahan catches Mrs. Maisel in the exhilarating act of inventing herself.

    Without the strong foundational forces of previous seasons (the divorce, the Catskills, Shy Baldwin), the show’s shallow construction becomes uncomfortably visible. Season 4, so far, is a sandbox of great actors and great hats, but there has to be substance to match the style.

    Overall, things this season seem more scattered than sophisticated, from the dialogue to the developing and continuing of certain plotlines and the indulgent set pieces.

    There’re a lot icon times in this season. Every character is doing what they should do. They focus on their career and i love that!
