The performances are vivid and engaging, beginning with Rachel Brosnahan as Midge. ... The writers take their time getting Midge out of the house and onto the comedy stage, but that enables them to develop the character naturalistically. ... Bit by bit, she’s finding her “c” (as in “comedy”) legs, though, and we can happily wait for the punch line. Read full review

It’s obvious from the four episodes I’ve watched that Brosnahan is giving a superb performance and that Amy Sherman-Palladino knows exactly where she’s going with the stories she and Dan want to tell. ... Gilmore Girls can wait--wait for Mrs. Maisel to burrow its own distinctive blend of comedy, drama, and romance into your heart and mind. Read full review

While her routines aren’t that funny, they also aren’t boring. Through four episodes, neither is the series. With a much-needed message for our times, a talented ensemble cast, and the period appeal of a “Mad Men”-with-a-feminine-flair production design, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is well on its way to becoming the next obsession for “Gilmore Girls” devotees.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a delightful, well cast hourlong comedic drama that occasionally detours into darkness but then quickly bobs back into the light. Read full review

It’s much, much more exciting when Midge is at the center of the frame, all by herself, or sharing it with Susie, whom Borstein imbues with charming sarcasm and occasional peeks of vulnerability. Read full 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

While this newcomer might eventually reward that faith, having previewed four episodes, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel simply doesn't feel like another genuine headliner, at a time when Amazon needs to deliver one. Read full review

The Palladino team has done it again. They are incredible in creating inspiring and crazy-good stories. I loved Mrs. Maisel and I hope they will keep working on streaming platforms. They are incredible!

Amazing writing and amazing performances by the entire cast, specially by Rachel Brosnahan, who's the heart and soul of the show and leads with a charm and charisma that i've never seen before.

This is some of the best TV I've seen in a long time. Rachel Brosnahan is incredible! Where has she been all this time? But there's much more to the show that her.

Rachel Brosnahan is incredible! Where has she been all this time? But there's much more to the show that her. It is smartly directed and crisply edited keeping it moving at a good pace. What's more, I loved how the late 50's were captured in an authentic manner in the sets, costumes and music. Not every episode is as stellar as the first, but it is very good overall.… Expand

In the end the season wasn't as good as I hope it to be but there is enough to enjoy and I've gotta say, Midge is one of the most charming characters I've seen in years.
Kudos to Rachel Brosnahan, she was phenomenal.

After 2 episodes found the characters hollow and seemed like stereotypes. Lots of dialogue where we never felt a connection to the characters or understood thier actions.
