I continue to be furious at this show’s insistence on taking itself seriously. Either take yourself seriously and say something, or be the ridiculous show we know you are and take some big swings. Maybe Marian has an evil twin! Gladys was a con artist this whole time and laughs in the duke’s face as her plans are fulfilled! We finally get that damn musical episode we and the whole world deserve! This has the potential to be the best show on television, and they are squandering it.
