"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Season 3" (2019)

The third entry on the Maisel saga is a Jewish mother: insufferable but endearing.  Basic verbal jokes are established by unrealistic trite repetition, until they become part of your expectations. Sherman-Palladino machine-guns the viewer with her patented shtick, a million words per minute simulating Abbot and Costello routines.  And sometimes, it even works.  Interestingly, this time the plot is paused by varieté numbers, including an homage to the club sequence of the art film "I am Cuba".  Palladino wants go to back to a time where you could unironically be entertained by romantic songs, tap dance, and "subversive" comedy, before post-modernism, when bad and good felt as easy to define. It is also the time when the United States was still a developed country to be proud of, especially in this fantasy version where everything looks fabulous and everybody can answer with an appropriate funny quip.  If you can bear it, and in small doses, Maisel will put a smile in your face.
