It’s 1958 Manhattan and Miriam “Midge” Maisel has everything she’s ever wanted - the perfect husband, kids, and Upper West Side apartment. But when her life suddenly takes a turn and Midge must start over, she discovers a previously unknown talent - one that will take her all the way from the comedy clubs of Greenwich Village to a spot on Johnny Carson’s couch.

What critics are saying about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Credit: Amazon Prime Video. Gruff, short and squat, Susie, who is regularly mistaken for a boy, dresses in shades of black and grey, shapeless trousers and peaked caps, and frets that a slightly tapered blazer is a bold move. They’re a unique team and a winning combination. “I love a world where my lead characters are powering through it without cynicism,” Sherman-Palladino explained to New York magazine in 2017.

Mrs. Maisel is back, and so is her joyful, colourful, cynicism-free world

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel wants to be comfort food, but it can’t resist plying viewers with sugar.Every exchange feels like a slalom race, with the characters careering from punch line to punch line, and most of the jokes, rather than being revealing, come across as if they were arranged for the comfort of the audience, and for that of the characters, too. As long as you can be funny, you can be in control; as long as you’re talking, you don’t have to listen.
