Season 2 Review: Perfectly delightful second season. [10 - 23 Dec 2018, p.8]

Season 2 Review: Each episode evokes that rare, warm glow brought about by entertainment that’s as finely tuned as it is thematically empowering. Sherman-Palladino didn’t just solve the Season 2 slump; she reversed it. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is even better than it was, even when you stop to consider its flaws. Read full review

Season 3 Review: [Midge] needs to grow, or at least her stand-up routine does beyond the tame gags about her ex-husband or Jewsih guilt. Those remain the weakest part of "Maisel." ... These early episodes do certainly play to "Maisel's" considerable and well-established strengths. They're a romp through the English language, abetted by actors who remain effortlessly up to the challenge. As always, the writing and those performances are still what resonate, and they're just about flawless Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel tells its story with verve and wit and warmth, and it digs deep enough into Midge’s psyche so that we can understand just how well she understands the dilemma that she and Lenny Bruce share. Read full review

Season 1 Review: On its face, this show is a solid new entry in the Sherman-Palladino pantheon of wisecracking heroines and the assorted people who love them. But The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is also a stellar showcase for a woman unleashing her full fury and potential in a way no one--least of all herself--saw coming, or will soon forget. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The moments when Maisel works — Midge on stage, Susie learning how to speak up for herself, the two of them trading insults as they scramble from job to job — are delightful enough to overwhelm the series’ many tics and useless subplots. It’s getting harder, though, not to think of how much better the show would be if it tossed aside a large chunk of the supporting cast. Read full review

Season 2 Review: This time around, the story seems motivated less by the characters’ forward propulsion than by hastily sketching how to get from one fabulous set piece to the next. Read full review

At 68 I consider The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel the best serial comedy in my lifetime. It is more realistic than Lucy more poignant than All in the Family and consistently has a great story, great acting, great directing and great production values. This is all three seasons.

This is one of the best series that I have watched so far. Almost every shot is great. Midge just keeps you there and tuned. This is good tv.

Guess what? That's the best tv show of the 2010s. Iconic characters, a lot of quotes, music on point, everything's perfect.

Great show with amazing pace and witty dialogues. Very funny, great costumes. Delivers what it promises. 3rd season is a bit weak compared to other two but still a good show.

Ugh. I'm convinced there's a conspiracy here with regard to this garbage. This show is not funny. This is what people who think women aren't funny are talking about. Why is every joke a dig at the world the way it is? And who would want to listen to that crap and in that era? Ill give it forUgh. I'm convinced there's a conspiracy here with regard to this garbage.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mrs. Maisel was a breakout comedy the first year. Now the bad news.

The third season is a jam packed whirlwind of “oh my G..we forgot to include every other ethnic group in our first two seasons and by Jehovah we are going to make up for it - but only when we are drunk, and it is 2 AM and we are tired.”

What happened? Jewish guilt? PC culture? Couldn’t you have just decided to have brought in a diverse writing crew and hoped that it would have reflected the bias that privileged white and Jewish intellectual culture represented before voting rights? But no. You had to imagine a reality where a black gay man wasn’t lynched. The writing was an abomination, and was undeserving of a place at the Golden Globes.… Expand

This show is really terrible. The acting is ridiculous, campy and bad. Everyone is either exclaiming or shouting at the top of their voices, and walking rapidly from room to room. The whole thing gave me a headache.
