In season three, MrsMaisel hints that it might be ready to reckon more openly with Midge’s blind spots

By the end of the season, Midge finds herself in similar circumstances, though she doesn’t know it yet. Her manager, Susie , has gambled away all of the money Midge earned on tour and asked Joel , Midge’s ex-husband, to manage her income moving forward. Midge doesn’t realize it, but her plans — including her intention to buy back her and Joel’s old apartment and move back in, along with her parents — are about to be upended.
A big part of the appeal of this series is its sense of atmosphere: its production design, those costumes, and a general air of 1950s and ’60s cheer. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is bright and colorful, a show whose rich, retro beauty is one of its biggest assets. Even the supposedly awful Queens where the Maisels live looks like an idyllic Pleasantville, apart from all the yelling that echoes down the streets thanks to Shirley and Moishe.
Part of the problem is that series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino really wants us to like Midge. We’re supposed to admire her confidence and find her occasional impatience with the world around her amusing. That worked well enough in season one, but now that the series seems poised to last for several seasons — Amazon hasn’t officially renewed it for season four, but that seems inevitable — it can’t coast as much on charm. It needs to own Midge’s flaws and really show her wrestling with them.
