But also, isn’t Charlotte not supposed to believe in Heaven, as a Jew?

Good points. Sloppy writing.

Not really. Charlotte was raised Episcopalian.

...and? You either convert to Judaism, or you don't. And you would think someone committed enough to give up Christmas (which we saw was hard for her) and make traditional foods from scratch and learn the Torah and recite prayers and a ceremony in Hebrew is a true convert.

Sorry - posted too soon. I just mean people mix beliefs and we shouldn't be shocked. People are complex. My mom is a Catholic who doesn't believe in hell. I don't get it myself, considering the whole thing about catholic guilt....but she was born and raised catholic, the whole shebang, the rosary and church and everything.

I thought it got better and better. Episodes 1 and 2 were pretty dreadful but by the end it was giving me the feelings I used to have in the old days, and I was really enjoying it. I hope they bring it back for season 2

Miranda was a crap person. Literally mocking and acting offended that Carrie might hope there’s an afterlife where she can see her dead husband, acting like that’s an affront to Miranda somehow. Skipping Carrie’s Paris trip to go watch someone who isn’t even her partner go film a tv pilot—after Che didn’t even clue them in privately that that’s what they were doing. Turning down an internship her professor/friend went out on a limb to get her. And that’s just in this episode!

I agree. I really enjoyed it. Except Miranda. The drinking, Che, her stupid grins....I miss the old strong Miranda.

Che was Big, Miranda was Carrie, Steve was Aidan. Charlotte was still Charlotte, dressed like Mrs. Maisel.

So I agree with pretty much everyone who couldn’t stand the new Miranda but isn’t that kind of the point. She changed. She left her faithful husband for a person who didn’t even want to define their relationship. Miranda portrayed what it’s like when people make a terribly selfish decision, they really are only thinking of themselves. The viewers who’ve “known” her for decades realize how much she’s strayed from her true self but that’s life a lot of the times, especially when one has lived a life that put others (kids, spouse, parents) ahead of their own needs. My point is that it’s true to the human form to be incredibly unlikable when making the choices she’s made and the writers were more authentic by not making the viewers take her side.

You know who’s really unlikeable? Che. Can’t stand her.

The show made it hard to warm to they.

Miranda was so annoying asking over and over "what's happening, what's happening?" just sit and watch and see and STFU!

I like Che.They were the most honest of anybody on the show.

If honesty were the measure, they would win. But just not very likable for me.
