Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 2998606, member: 214"] there were several things that should be apparent to all audiences [LIST] [*]the growth of midge's comedy both in breadth and depth [*]the growth of her character, showing both her increasing confidence as well as her vulnerability [*]the development of the secondary characters, especially joel [/LIST] on top of that, this season was outrageously funny, but it may be that the humor was too specific; that is, too jewish. i myself am not jewish, but i married into a very jewish family and saw so many of the quirks of my in-law family in both the weisman's and the maisel's. rachel brosnahan and alex borstein both well-deserved their awards, but i think caroline aaron as shirley maisel deserves a special shout out. after being under utilized in the first season, for those familiar with a certain type of older jewish mother, she was pee-in-my-pants hilarious in nearly every scene this season [/QUOTE]
