Marvelous Mrs Maisel - Amazon Prime

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Marvelous Mrs Maisel - Amazon Prime

Post by TheCatt »

We started watching this the other night, and have only watched the first episode.

I was entertained, my wife was not. We both found the husband's character to be a terrible, weak human being. I found the female lead strong, funny, entertaining, and supportive of her husband. My wife found her born with a silver spoon, and gifted everything she had in life.

The first episode basically sets the stage for how her husband wants to be a comic, but isn't very good, and then, at the end, he leaves her and she has to figure out life on her own, which she does drunkenly, and even brings her 2 costars out on stage.

Lenny Bruce makes a quick appearance as a character, which could be interesting.

Did not know it, but it's produced by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who your wives will know from Gilmore Girls. The shows has 2 seasons out at the moment, and has won some awards.
It's not me, it's someone else.
