The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, an Emmy-winning comedy-drama, is making its farewell appearance with this fifth season. Some claim that the show's quality has declined with time and that it has lasted one season too long, but it was never going to be easy for a woman to transition from being a devoted housewife in the 1950s to a divorced stand-up comic.

Finally, we have proof of this thanks to the author Amy Sherman-Palladino, who provides numerous significant glimpses into Midge's future in which she achieves the fame and success she has long desired.

Midge and Susie's strong connection and bond are also highlighted in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's first three episodes, so when the flash-forward informs us of a rift, it's unsettling to wonder what caused it. The program also appropriately addresses Ethan and Esther, Midge's kids, and their later, troubled relationship with their mother in 1981. Midge switches careers, though, and joins Gordon Ford's talk show's all-male writers room in 1961. She runs into several obstacles, thus it's a learning lesson for her.

Much of the attention is, as it usually is, on the friendship between Midge and Susie during this final attempt to become a celebrity; the odd couple who have overcome so much to get here. Fans will grin or roar at many satisfyingly nostalgic callbacks, not the least of which is a particular mention of Susie's beloved plunger, which was featured prominently in the Catskills episodes of season two. There are nonetheless significant differences as well. Can the two overcome this final obstacle together? The series' most emotional moment was directed by Brosnahan and Borstein, who have done marvels with their characters' explosive chemistry (albeit the finale wasn't available for review and it might easily and probably will surpass this).

The period drama has consistently impressed with its flawless costumes and attention to production design. This time, the focus is on 30 Rock in New York City, where a lot of American late-night television comedy was born. The nostalgia is expertly conveyed, and the writing is just as incisive and the one-liners are just as clever.

Above all of that, however, Midge has continued to demonstrate greater temerity, tenacity, and perseverance, and Brosnahan has done a fantastic job depicting this (her own career rise has seen her star in a film with Benedict Cumberbatch in recent years). I shouldn't be pleased with Midge and Susie, but I am. I wish I could sit down at a bar and enjoy a martini with them.

Although it's not the finest, this season is unquestionably the right one. These last episodes are the best tribute to a brilliantly humorous and superbly produced series that is concluding at the perfect time. Mrs. Maisel was there.
