I love all the parents so much. Her stand up skills go downhill pretty badly, it is a little strange.

I love this show. I kind of think Morbs will enjoy enough about it before bailing because of storyline or something. But I can't get enough of sets and costumes and colors and pitter/patter. My only real gripe is Joel. I really had hopes he would get run over by a horse and carriage or fall off a fire escape etc etc spoiler.

alex borstein my favorite, then Lenny
Also Midge paraphrased Dr Spock's baby book as saying "You got this." Give me a break, I never heard that til five years ago.

he is a quintessential Cute Jewish Boy, even though the character is a monster

it's pretty clearly indicated that what brought the two of them together was laughs and sex, not necessarily in that order
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 19 April 2020 14:21 (four years ago) link
The laughs come during the sex

Yerac favors men of a certain stature iirc

he played randall on Walking Dead! I did see him Brooklyn (the movie) last year.

He wish he were a little bit taller

I know the actor who played Red Skelton (at the Copa) in episode 4.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 April 2020 00:51 (four years ago) link
(who is funny and talented, and knows his vintage comedy, but neither looks or sounds like Red)

I own the Mort Sahl LP she's listening to in ep 5

mostly
i'm glad she bombed TWICE in the fifth episode; bout time

my favorite thing in S1 is episode 3 when she gets stoned for the first time with Lenny & the band

season 3 is dreadful

disagree on Lenny - one of Lenny’s best epidodes is in this season!s3 is definitely a slog at first but it comes together really well in the last few episodes
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 14 May 2020 20:18 (four years ago) link
hmmph ok we'll see

Midge is a self-saboteur, as the Jane Lynch episode proved. Infuriating.

i am glad you are sticking with it!

s1 finale a little heavy on the Midge-Joel content (also he's no Sal Mineo per the final insult), but loved Shalhoub's "I will have to kill you." The Lenny rescue seemed a little forced too.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 May 2020 18:38 (four years ago) link
Not read the full thread - is this worth sticking with? I liked S1 well enough but s2 is a bit boring (up to ep4 or 5 so far). Too much Midge's mother, not enough hustle, also don't massively care about Joel unless they actually go into why he cheated in the first place...?
― kinder, Friday, 14 August 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
Yeah I left it around the same episodes iirc. Not that I disliked it anymore. But I didn’t feel like knowing more about what happened to these characters (never like Joel so him being more present was a pain)... I may go back at some point though.
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 14 August 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
Love her parents though !
I'd encourage you to keep at it. All the characters bring their own rewards in the end.

I think the writers are aware that they neglect the children, and have turned it into a bit of a running gag.
my wife was the kids' age at the time and yes she thinks this is deliberate, the kids really are secondary and the maid takes care of them

I hit a wall in S3 and haven't come back to it (after x and y get married). I guess I should, but I can't imagine S4 is coming anytime soon.

the back half of S3 is the chunk of the show with the lowest annoying-to-entertaining ratio, possibly
