It was really good except for the last episode.

I liked it, but it's been a few weeks. What was wrong about the last episode?

NSFW: show

Was it the Lenny Ex Machina that was the issue

not at all. I wouldn't have minded more parallel universe kind of stuff where she interacts with real life figures.

It was the fact that she spent the entire arc of the season being independent, not needing her husband, then she sleeps with him and is all "I'm so lonely! Wah, wah, I'm a weak woman" when she hadn't shown any of those feelings previously. The entire plot had been building up to the exact opposite of that. It was like a giant unjustified step backwards. They had effectively concluded his part in the series only to make him the center of the final episode. I felt like the dad in the scene with his study: Why have we gone through all of this if she's just going to fuck it up? It ended how it should've, but the episode as a whole should've felt more like a victory lap/proving she's ready for a bigger and better chapter in her life as a comic instead of dumb drama.

SPOILER : show

I thought that the whole point of that was to set up the final scene, though (I'm trying to remember how the last episode went, I've gone through 5+ shows since finishing Mrs. Maisel ).
She appears to be setting herself up for failure by sleeping with Joel and entertaining thoughts of getting back together with him which boosts his undeserved self-pride that ultimately leads to him realizing he's a total fuck up and that she's the superior comic.
Personally, I kinda preferred the episode being more focused on him finally learning humility (something he absolutely refused to do the entire season) and being forced to acknowledge his wife's skills rather than the episode being, effectively, a throwaway episode where she ends up on top and that's all folks™.
They spent so much time doing that ships-passing-in-the-night bullshit, regarding her comedy success and his comedy aspirations, that it felt like a much better payoff with him being absolutely destroyed and humiliated when it seemed like everything was going his way rather than having him simply drift into obscurity for the end of the show.

That new X-Files episode kinda sucked.

I hope the writing for the rest of the season isn't as bad as it was for this episode.
