The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

[Lumpfish]

Has anyone watched this? Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino who was show runner for my favourite series Gilmore Girls! About a housewife turned comedian in 1950s. Just wondering if worth starting?

Benjamin was an absolute DREAM BOAT Midge is a fool.

Absolutely wonderful....I'm on Season 3 now and don't want it to end. I adore Alex Borstein as Suzy.

 

[Lumpfish]

On series 2 now! Love the outfits. So cinematic.

Lenny is hot and their chemistry is hot.

I love this show. The production value is amazing! It really does feel like you’re in the 50s.
I love the dynamic between the 2 main characters so much - Susie and Midge, obviously!! I can’t wait for season 4.

I think the title of the show puts people off because people assume it’s like a girly show, maybe? I convinced my dad to watch it (he’s 60 soon) and he loves it too!

Yes, it’s glorious. I really enjoyed it. Just sad that there isn’t more!

Watching season 4 now and loving it so much. Waiting for those Lenny scenes

 

[GiftedNotFree]

Yea and yea. No spoilers but *that* Lenny scene….. wowzers.

 

[Lumpfish]

Yes I love it! Glad you’re enjoying it @Lumpfish

I just want to spend all my summers at the Steiner Resort - I mean that lake is gorgeous!

I sort of went off her a bit after that.

Fab outfits - I love coordination

 

[Sheeeet]

The finale was amazing, I loved it! Lovely way to finish

Spoiler: Spoiler for finale

Lenny's final scene was perfect - still charming and urging Midge on. I was a bit teary eyed at the Gordon Ford turn, Midge and Susie both looking overwhelmed and so happy. So wonderful they were friends again at the end!

I only managed to get as far as episode 3 and got bored. Maybe I need to give it another go.

The main character reminded me of Charlotte from SATC and I couldn't see past it.

For anyone who likes podcasts there’s one called Maisel Goys (from the same creator of Gilmore Guys podcast) and it’s worth a listen. They almost love to hate the show which I love.

 

[Toffee finger]

Yes I love it! Glad you’re enjoying it @Lumpfish

 

[Sheeeet]

I love this show. Love Midge and Susie and CANNOT get Lenny out of my head - the real Lenny Bruce never looked this good!
FEWMIN that this and Succession are ending at the same time.

Omg I love her in everything she’s in, Lizzy McGuire movie included

 

[GiftedNotFree]

I’m thinking at the end she is dashing off for an emergency with Shirley and Moish. They weren’t at the synagogue when Joel was arrested. Thinking a car crash finishes them off. There is sooo much to tie up in the final episode

Too much imo for a satisfying ending. Also not sure if this is unpopular opinion but the lack of Lenny this season has left a big gaping hole of chemistry.
