Okay then.

I'm using my adorable Owly and Wormy icon because I need a bit of sweetness in my life right now, because the news has been abysmal this week.

Partially because of that, Mr. 42 and I finally started watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel last night, and it is absolutely brilliant: phenomenal writing, superb cast, sharp direction, sumptuous production

I'm down with any world where women actually have a voice!

Mrs. Maisel is literally all about a woman finding her voice. *rubs hands together gleefully* I think you're going to enjoy it as much as I am.

I don't mind dark, but it does need lightness for contrast, and it sounds like Bojack Horseman has plenty of that. Noted that the first season is slow to start. <3

I confess I haven't actually finished Mad Men because I got so tired of all the characters, and while it was visually sumptuous, that only goes so far. And the situation humor was so obnoxiously self-aware. Like ha ha, people used to think nothing of leaving trash all over the park! Ha ha, kids played with dry cleaner bags! And ha ha, the lawn mower victim's fired because now he can't play golf! *rolls eyes*

So yeah, Mrs. Maisel is everything that I wanted Mad Men to be and much much more.

I agree--for whatever reason, learning a second part is harder on some pieces than others. I do it a fair amount, but some pieces that seem like it'd be easy to switch on are absolute BEARS. And oh man is it hard to switch off the "reading the top line" thing. Not for nothing do I mark the crap out of my music, including which line of the score I sing :D
