In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel’s life is on track– husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment. But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she’s good at – and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her.
Season 2
After Midge's triumph at the Gaslight, the fallout from her takedown of Sophie Lennon looms large, making her climb up the comedy ladder more challenging than ever. As the actual grind of being a comic begins to take its toll on Midge, the pressure to come clean to her family weighs on her - especially as her choices have a ripple effect on everyone around her.
Season 3
Midge and Susie discover that life on tour with Shy is glamorous but humbling, and they learn a lesson about show business they’ll never forget. Joel struggles to support Midge while pursuing his own dreams. Abe embraces a new mission and Rose learns she has talents of her own.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is Marvelous. It is one of the best series I have ever seen. Story, acting, filmmaking and producing is great. I wish it does not ended by season 5.

I found the first several seasons entertaining enough to stick with: the quirky characters were engaging and the plots and humor were good enough to go on with. It was interesting to watch them jump the shark in the final season, but the quality of the show suffered in places because of it. Some of the subplots became very silly and unrealistic, and their “This is Us” forays into the past and future seemed derivative and contrived. Susie and Mrs. Maisel seemed to be drawn larger than life and almost above the fray, and the rest of the cast wasn’t quite strong enough to do the heavy lifting of moving the story along. I am not saying it caused me to dislike the show or stop watching, because it didn’t. But as someone who writes novels myself, I felt they were so eager to build an edge into the events of the show, they may not have noticed that in gaining that edge they lost their graceful story arc.
