Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Yikes! Feeling obligated to finish the season and I’m only on episode 4. I’m a diehard fan of the Paladinos...I thought. In season 2, I loved that they recreated the quirkiness of stars hollow in Paris and in the Catskills. It worked there. It also worked in the department store where midge worked. But it’s tired in season 3. I get that one of their talents is creating little communities of quirky characters, but do they always have to talk the same? It’s the same stars hollow world in different sets and costumes but rushed and without the soul or development of the stars hollow characters. Or even the soul of the Paris and catskill quirky communities. When every group we meet talks the same and is equally zaney, then no one is. They’ve over done it and now it’s like watching something written by David Mamet, and everyone in a Mamet talks like Mamet. And Joel, my god, when is this bland character going to go away? He’s awful. No one is rooting for Midge to be with him except the Paladinos. They aren’t Luke and Lorelei. JOEL IS CHRISTOPHER!!! Yuck! Would be great to see more of Midge’s parents. They’re the only characters I’m invested in at this point. Midges kids are horribly annoying. And Susie has gotten annoying too. The Sophie Lennon storyline is super boring and played out. Really wish Lenny Bruce and Tony Shalub had more time together. They’re both interesting. Midge’s stand up is also pretty weak this time around. And there is way too much signing. Can’t they cut the camera away during the signing? Do we really need to see full songs? My review is as fragmented as the show has become. I was so excited for the new season, but no I’m just disappointed. ☹️
