Definitely, if you do a "The Crown" first time watch, I'm there for the re-watch! Great series

Aaron

Yes to the Crown. And the finale is truly special. Every moment of it.

I'm really glad you've consistently enjoyed both season 4 and 5! A lot of people seemed to take a bit to come around/disliked them. Ofc to each their own, but it's refreshing to see. I feel like in the therapist scene with Ester, it's kind of implied that Abe is dead by then. She's says "the only person I could ever talk to was Grandpa," seems like she's talking in the past tense so I'd assume he's passed by then honestly. Abe's monologue is such a great scene, one of the best in the show imo! I'd keep in mind what Hedy tried to imply about Susie's feeling towards Midge. Honestly, imo, the long look Hedy gave Midge at the end had something to do with her perception of that... Could be wrong, could be she just knew she was about to be a star? But idk.

Glad you guys clocked the Lenny reference right away! I love that she remembers everything about that interaction down to the snap and her pretending to be holding a cigarette. Truly great to come back around full circle to that and see how much it affected her, especially since Lenny has been so absent in presence and mention this entire season. Obviously we know he dies in real life (1966, it's 1961 in the show now) so we "know" his ending, but I think you'll be satisfied with how he's wrapped into this end. I would love to know how more people feel about the entire Rose situation. I guess it's not "realistic" for both of them to come around and completely change who they are and everything be perfect. They've decided to play that storyline through Abe, but it does kinda bum me out that Rose has been so stagnant since basically Paris. There's just not much growth there in her relationship with Midge or Abe. I guess you could point to her giving up her trust fund and then starting the matchmaking business as "growth" but it doesn't really work for me. I think the character just ultimately got the short end of the stick on this show compared to all the other main ones. No hate to Marin though, who is incredible. Abe, however, is easily my favorite part of this episode and that scene makes me cry every time. I can't believe you're almost done! The home stretch! Can't wait to get into the finale with you guys and everyone.

The Crown does fit completely in what your current type of shows are. Prestige television - 21 Primetime Emmy wins including: Outstanding Drama Series Lead Actress Supporting Actor Supporting Actress Guest Actress Cinematography Writing Directing Joe is correct that it is a 6 season show, split up into 3 2-season stints, with actors/actresses swapping out for each of the major roles. Princess Margaret was played by 1-2 Vanessa Kirby 3-4 Helena Bonham Carter 5-6 Lesley Manville I think you'll LOVE all of the actors/actresses they have for playing the main roles AND the "side characters" (like Churchill and Thatcher). To be honest - this would be a great piece of TV to replace Maisel on the channel - an award-winning period piece - highly recommended. 8.6 overall on IMDB

I agree with your assessment of Season 5 - 4 and 5 were panned more than the first three seasons and I'm not sure I agree. There's nothing wrong with this season, and I am 100% confident you will love the finale. Originally airing on May 19, 2023, 'The Princess and the Plea' is Episode 8 of Season 5 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It is the 42nd episode overall and has an IMDB rating of 8.5, placing it as the #3 ranked episode of this season and #13 out of all the episodes shown so far.

Princess Margaret was indeed very funny, though also very tragic. You should definitely watch "The Crown"; it's so well done and engaging. I assume there will be many historical facts you don't understand, but we'll all help you with those. I'm looking forward to next Monday! I was originally trepidatious going into the finale, but I found it incredibly moving. And by the way, you've made Monday my favorite day of the week!

Oh that would be weird if they went that route. I figured he was gone by the opening, but does he go before or after Rose.

Youtalkingtome

We really are in the final stretch and man it's been a ride! Even though the Rose bit is frustrating. I'm glad they stayed true to her character. She's had great moments and it's a wonderful performance. Abe stole this episode

Youtalkingtome

We will definitely add it. Whether or not it follows Maisel is up for debate! It would be interesting doing. WW and The Crown the same day though.

Roland Cooke

I didn't really enjoy this episode, maybe because I didn't laugh very much. But I do think that it was very well done and achieved what it set out to do. And (remember that I haven't seen these episodes), I think you answered your own question about how Midge achieves her big break. The Gordon Ford Show beckons....

Madison Dickson

Finally the Abe monologue!! It’s such a beautiful scene I still cry the way he says “my daughter is a remarkable person and I don’t think I’ve ever said that to her” it’s an axis shift for him but the fact he’s actually reflecting on what could have been really sells it for me. It’s one thing to feel it it’s a whole other thing to indulge the feeling enough to imagine a different reality.

Youtalkingtome

That's what I figured. Yeah, it wasn't the funniest episode. This last season really has moved into dramatic territory

Devon Cooper

1000% do The Crown!!! It is amazing. Behind the WW, it is my favorite show. You will not be disappointed and I will follow on that journey for sure. 🤩🤩Can’t wait!

Weird Magic

FYI on the Finale for scheduling time on your end - it is a little extra, runtime is 1:15:39

You guys often talk about liking 3-dimensional characters, so Midge going for the throat with Suzie is a really good expression of that. And realistic. The big ones probably don't make it big without making some morally questionable decisions along the way.
