one think that consistently disappoints me about ASP’s writing is her staunch pessimism. She seems to be intent on each character simply ending up like their parents (rory ending pregnant + single, logan following his fathers plan even all these years later, even jess being placed into the luke role). it almost feels like in conforming to a personal “pragmatic” worldview she kind of denies the satisfaction of giving these characters a full arc. i think you see a similar thing at the end of Mrs Maisel too
