Unchecked White Privilege Packaged as a Sanitized Feminist Narrative
Abounding in stereotypes, the whole show glosses over real issues of gender, class, and race under the not-so-subtle banner of a very one-dimensional, stereotypical brand of "feminism." While femism has progressed to questions of inter-sectionality, etc. this show invokes the most crudely glaring cliches of early feminism as if inventing them for the first time. Everything you hated about Palladino's character Rory in Gilmore Girls resurface in Mrs. Maisel with a vengeance - and no hint of self-awareness.
