While The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2 is every bit as charming and effervescent as we've come to expect, the latest episodes make it impossible to deny what we suspected but ignored in Season 1: Midge Maisel is kind of rude.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, given our protagonist's aspirations in the male-dominated field of standup comedy.
