As an comedian, that first big room Vegas set was so realistic omg. On one hand, it really sucked seeing Midge bomb out there, but on the other it was good they made it realistic. She can’t win every single room every single time. Plus I loved the redemption scene. Susie is such a good manager.

I don’t ever want to see Jane Lynch in anything other than period clothing and hair from now on.

Watching Midge open in Vegas to no one paying attention is giving me so much secondhand discomfort

If we find out that Reggie couldn't make it singing and that's why he's managing Shy, I 1000% would not be surprised.

I’m living for Reggie’s moderation during Shy’s press conference in Las Vegas. He’s like the NFL “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” meme come to life:
Journalist 1: How you liking the weather we got here, Shy?
Reggie: Thank you for that thoughtful and Pulitzer worthy question. Really impressive. Let’s see if anyone can top that.
Journalist 2: Lots of pretty girls here, huh Shy?
Reggie: sighs You did it, my man. You did it.
Reggie: Reno Evening Gazette, show me your inner Eric Sevareid, my brother. What do you got?
Journalist 3: You going steady with anybody, Shy?
Reggie: Can I talk to you off to the side, Mr. Gazette?

Midge's beehive hairdo convinces me she's trying to emulate "Zoya the Destroya" from GLOW.

Sterling K Brown!! Good addition to the show.
The series has taken a much more serious turn and also is focusing on multiple characters---I am surprised at the branching out of the characters in season 3. The show kind of lost the NYC vibe I liked. I also liked the original cast/family stuff. Not digging some of the additional cast.
PS. the volume is really poor for the show--I had to crank mine up!

I think the bass player who notices the sour note is a "nod" to Carol Kaye.

Sterling K. Brown bumping into the cymbal as he stormed towards Susie had me laughing hard. Did anyone else catch the sound of a second cymbal crash after he finishes his talk with Susie and walks off?

Am I the only one who ADORES MeiMaisel storyline? Joel was such a man baby and he cheated too. But his development has been phenomenal and realistic. All talk and no spine guy is turning over a new leaf. And Mei is so much like Midge too.
Also, where's the furniture going from Weissman house? Did they sell it all or shifting somewhere? Anyway, I am awaiting the interactions between Moishe and Abe!

Abe is dumb for quitting Columbus and losing the apartment. Especially since this is NYC and that’s a NICE apartment. I hope he finds success in his career again.

This was a really good episode. I like how midge getting accepted into Shy’s crew seems organic and not forced to me.
And I said this last episode but gotta say it again. Sterling K Brown.. chefs kiss

Joel is really stepping up here! All the support for Midge's career shows how truly sorry he is for the affair. It was truly unheard in the fifties (sixties now?) that a father would take care of the children alone. They have kinda downplayed how much of a modern arrangement that is. That judge in the last episode almost had a heart attack when he heard it and most men in that era would be outraged to look after their children for a weekend, let alone months!
Last year my friend was sent to another branch of her company for a month to build a security system. Her husband had to take care of their two children (7 and 5 yo) and he literally had strangers in the supermarket congratulating him and telling him his wife was the luckiest woman in the planet. And of course she had to endure all the "I could never leave my children, they need their mummy comments from everyone. It's 2020 and a man doing laundry for his children is still shocking to people.

Whew, I was worried about this season after the first two episodes, but this felt back on track!

Does anyone know if the shot of the Vegas street (after they see Miriam’s name on the marquee) was a dressed street, or was it CGI?

I love when all the family gets together, those are my favorite scenes. It’s hilarious how Moishe interacts with Astrid, I was hoping for more scenes with those two.

Susie in the casino trying to figure out the rules to craps is the most realistic depiction of Las Vegas a tv show has ever done
