Before we begin, check out my post on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 3 on my other blog, Before I Go See It.
Now, on with the show.
I knew Midge and Shy Baldwin would have an argument and break up, but I was surprised that they lasted to the end of the season. The sudden breakup is an interesting change. We see Midge and Shy become tight friends as she was the one who took his antics seriously and saw him at his most vulnerable. Just one slip-up is all it takes. That's showbiz.
Season 3 brought change to everyone. Susie learns the ups and downs of being a manager to multiple clients as she takes on Sophie Lennon. Abe and Rose are in transitional periods as Abe struggles to feel useful, and Rose wants a hobby. Joel opens a club in Chinatown and meets a pretty woman with possible connections to the Chinese mob.
Sophie shows Susie how incredibly spoiled she is through the challenge of putting on a passion project with Sophie in the starring role. Sophie had learned to rely on the people around her to move her career forward, but when the play opened up and she crashes it towards the end, she expected Susie to fix it, but Susie was probably the first to call her bullsh*t. I wondered if she was going to come forward with Susie and own up to her behavior, but we'll never know if she changed.
Having lost their home, Abe and Rose are forced to live with Joel's parents in Queens. They are thrust into the bizarre lifestyle they live in. Shirley burns the food while she bets on game shows, and Moishe sports no pants around the house. Abe tries to get involved with some young activists who weren't interested in his wisdom and guidance. Rose discovers a hidden talent in matchmaking as she successfully pairs her friends' children with eligible suitors. Meanwhile, she hopes that Midge and Benjamin, who broke up prior to the season premiere, would get back together, and she attempts to reconcile their relationship. It backfires when Midge tells her to butt out.
There is a lot to process and, hopefully, so much more to come. I really want to know what Midge is going to do now that Shy kicked her off the tour.

I was intrigued by Benjamin's confrontation toward Midge... could it still work out? I want her to be with Joel, but wouldn't it be funny if both she and Joel married doctor's?
