The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime


The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
 takes place in 1958 in Upper West Side, New York. The story is based on the perfect Midge Maisel, who is married to the man of her dreams with two kids. However, it all goes downhill when her husband Joel leaves her for another woman. A heartbroken Midge accidentally stumbles onto the stage at a comedy club and discovers her own comedic skills. In the process, she goes on her journey of self-discovery.  

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a stand up comedy sitcom that I've had the pleasure of sitting down for. The wit is impeccable and it's no surprise that Rachael Brosnahan, the actress for Midge, was nominated at the Golden Globe Awards 2018 for Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. Besides Midge herself, each and every character is crafted so perfectly, none exempt from flaws. 

You will find yourself laughing from beginning to end and sympathizing with them, most importantly the lead, throughout each and every season. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a show I love, my mother loves, and my sister loves, bringing generations of people together with a wonderful, character-driven story.
