It's the late 1950s and Miriam "Midge" Maisel has everything she has ever wanted -- the perfect husband, two kids and an elegant apartment on New York's Upper West Side. Her seemingly idyllic life takes a surprising turn when she discovers a hidden talent she didn't previously know she had -- stand-up comedy. This revelation changes her life forever as she begins a journey that takes her from her comfortable life on the Upper West Side through the cafes and nightclubs of Greenwich Village as she makes her way through the city's comedy industry on a path that could ultimately lead her to a spot on the "Tonight Show" couch. The series was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino ("Gilmore Girls").

It's a wonderful showcase for star Rachel Brosnahan, who snaps off the one-liners (provided by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, of Gilmore Girls fame) as if she were born to play this character. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 12/20/2018

The portrayals of characters of color in Mrs. Maisel are about as lazy as you can get, if not a bit regressive. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paolo F @XKP-Producer May 14 A delightful and thought-provoking comedy. The central theme is women's emancipation, and the issues addressed are still relevant today. The characters are three-dimensional, making the whole thing even more realistic. Una commedia deliziosa e che fa riflettere. Il tema portante è l'emancipazione femminile e le tematiche affrontate sono ancora attuali. I personaggi sono tridimensionali e questo rende il tutto ancora più realistico.
