Season 2 occasionally coughs and splutters - Amy Sherman Palladino is spectacularly uninterested in Maisel's kids and perhaps too interested in Joel, who while an interesting figure with his weakness and intelligence, gets maybe too much screentime. I would have liked a more viable love interest than the perfect doctor. And I missed Lenny Bruce (who does appear just not enough).
But the acting is excellent, the lines divine, there's some classic moments. I loved the plunger at the Catskills stuff, and the buzzing door (that CIA plot is great). It's very well done and I wish someone would give Ms Amy a big screen musical to direct because she is clearly gagging to do so.
