Perfectly delightful second season. [10 - 23 Dec 2018, p.8]

Season 1 Review:
Bursting with old-fashioned charm, Maisel is shot in the style of Woody Allen’s nostalgic comedies, with a jazzy soundtrack of old standards and an eye for the beautiful chaos that is life in the Big Apple. There’s sly, quotable humor throughout, of course, but also a strong feminist streak.

Season 4 Review:
It dawdles getting started, but the next-to-last season of this groundbreaking comedy series about a female comic breaking the testosterone ceiling of standup in 1960 returns to peak form as an on-fire Rachel Brosnahan catches Mrs. Maisel in the exhilarating act of inventing herself.

Season 2 Review:
Whenever Midge gets up on the standup comedy stage, her scenes are electrifying. ... It’s also a show that can never quite see past its own blinders on anything that doesn’t relate to a 1950s battle of the sexes. It knows issues around race and class exist. It even knows that issues around religion exist. But it never knows what to do with them, because it needs them to remain off camera, so that it might construct a more perfect, candy-coated world.

Season 4 Review:
It gives me no pleasure to share that the show is now fixated on its characters complaining problems of the characters’ own making. In one episode, Midge literally thinks her biggest problem is not getting free milk. Worse, the once guillotine-sharp dialogue that made the Sherman-Palladinos favorites amongst TV snobs has been replaced with nonsensical dialogue that constantly loops back on itself.

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.

A time capsule of comedy, this show started strong and has continued to engage, surprise and delight in every season.

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.

First season was amazing. The second season has WAY WAY WAY too much focus on secondary characters and not enough Mrs. Maisel. I'm forced to skip many scenes. Please go back to concentrating on Mrs. Maisel, I don't care for any of the secondary characters.

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.
