Some of them are hilarious, many of them are duds, but they all have one thing in common: the segments where characters are performing actual stand-up routines are always the weakest segments in the film. Whether it be Obvious Child or The Big Sick, both of which are very funny films, but the actual standup routines themselves featured within the movies fall comparatively flat. By contrast, the very first episode of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel contains a standup routine near its end that kicks off what is one of the wittiest, fastest, and most hilarious series premieres I've seen in years, and never once through its eight episodes does it let up. I honestly don't think there was every a point where I went for more than a minute without laughing. I have no idea why Rachel Brosnahan wasn't on my radar before now, because she just kills it. She walks on set with so much raw fire and energy and confidence you'd mistake her to have been doing this her entire life, which is why I was shocked to learn from a quick glance at her IMDB page that she's never actually helmed anything before. Of course she's briefly appeared in quite a few series and movies in the background here and there, but to think this is the first project she's ever headlined is almost too much for me to believe, because she is brilliant. And that all goes without even getting into the technical details, because this series also happens to be visually rich, featuring many long, fluid shots that are cut together beautifully, with gorgeous costuming and set direction. I just don't know how I'm going to stand the waiting between seasons.… Expand

I'm thrilled that this show is out there and I get to watch it. I knew Rachel Brosnahan had star quality when i saw her in House of Cards but this is an especially fantastic performance. Tony Shaloub is delightful. And the icing on the cake is that the stand-up is actually funny. In so many shows relating to performances, whether comedy or music, the performances themselves are never quite good (Empire), but this is a definite exception to the rule.… Expand
