This is HOT!
Since it won a few EMMY’s including: Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series) I had been hearing a lot of buzz about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and finally a couple weeks ago I got Prime and binged Season 1. The following weekend I binged Season 2, and now I miss it so much! However, what I can do is recommend you all to watch it. If you are Jewish, or grew up in New York I promise you will love it! In addition to a great writing and storyline, the casting for this show is OUTSTANDING!!
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is an American period comedy-drama series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, The series stars Rachel Brosnahan as the eponymous Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a housewife in 1958 New York City who discovers she has a knack for stand-up comedy.
It was renewed for a third season!
