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.
