The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

An Amazon-produced series that's well-written and perfectly cast.

 

I confused it with a costume dramedy for the first fifteen minutes, but then wow. Big changes without ever becoming a parody of itself. Highly recommended.

I love it. To me it seems like an homage to Joan Rivers.

That's exactly what is is. It's a great cast so well written and a period of time at the cusp of what was to happen especially the various movements arising.

Great show.

 

Small correction; Amazon, not Netflix.

A great article on influences within the show...

I wanted to see the husband naked. What, she has to flash her tits in the first episode but we don't even see his ass when they sleep together?

Just got Amazon Prime recently and it was one of the first things I watched. TERRIFIC! A great cast. And I loved Lenny Bruce as a recurring character.

Loved this series. I'm in withdrawal now... any suggestions for something as funny?

[MartyB]

Kaminsky Method on Netflix. Lots of fun sadness and captures the frailties of men aging. Very good

Thank you @MartyB !

I watched an episode of High Maintenance. It was odd, but very, very funny.
