[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really liked Emily Nussbaum's review. It spoke to me about a lot of things I didn't like about the show but couldn't articulate very well myself.

Except that the reviewer “cheered” at the wedding scene, which I cannot fathom.[/quote]

I think you misunderstood.  The reviewer was saying she's happy that Midge received some "pushback" to her self-absorbed ways this season.  People are starting to stand up to her, like her friend Mary who wouldn't forgive her after Midge's awful toast.  That's why the author was "cheering."

"The show’s writers do, to be fair, give their heroine more pushback this season. When she slams male comics (rightly, because they’re pigs), she loses gigs. When she gives a filthy toast at a Catholic wedding, the bride won’t forgive her. (I cheered.) When her dad catches her using him as material, he gives her the silent treatment."[/quote]
