Liked it a lot, Felt a little disjointed and all over the place at times but I have more positive thoughts on the show than negative. The main stories with Omni-Man and Invincible are solid through out the season but there is some characters that didn't have their story clearly told which is fine but I do think that's the one issue with the show is that there are just so many characters and not all of them are integral to the main story but they will have one or two episodes dedicated to them sometimes and that can really throw me off, Again overall I enjoyed it....I think it will be a little bit better on a re-watch given how confusing some of the early-ish/middle episodes can be that eventually get paid off (a little bit) down the road.
So this is no longer the shiny new comedy it once was back in 2017 when it premiered. The season reverted back to the Season 1 and 2 plotlines of Midge going back to point zero of trying to find comedy gigs and therefore the first batch of episodes feel like they're running in circles rather than placing the characters in places that feel new. Then we got the news that the show would be ending next season which, to be honest, wasn't too much of a surprise since Palladino and company were even thinking about how to move forward with the series once COVID hit. The last few episodes actually treat this as a penultimate season and lay the groundwork for where these characters are headed. I can't say I'm in love with the Rose matchmaker storyline, it was fun to show she was getting in the way of a society of matchmakers but now they're going to war? Not sure what to expect of that but it's one of the examples that shows this series should've been half an hour since some storylines aren't worth much investment. Also, thank god Joel will not be Midge's endgame since he actually gets a big arc that crumples any chance at the two being together or him even getting more screentime than necessary. Anyways, it's still a sweet series that I love catching up on and I do love that Amazon decided to go with the weekly format (it seems every streamer is more interested in this release format so one wonders if Netflix will continue being the odd duck out since people were raving about Euphoria even though Ozark aired its final season, only time will tell). Until next time.
