The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon) (1 Viewer)

[Matt Hough]

Three episodes in now, and I have to say: every one of her standup routines has killed.

Her first one, and the season finale one are top-notch stand up. I mean, a really killer short set.

I finally finished the season late last week. Marvelous is the right word for the woman and the show! I have been recommending it to all of my friends who have Amazon Prime. This should get major Emmy attention for this season. Rachael may end up breaking Julia-Louis Dreyfuss' stranglehold on Best Actress at long last.

Veep isn't going to be back in time to qualify for this year's Emmys so someone will break Dreyfus' streak.

It's a long and complicated tale, but I never got to finish this.

We're trying to sort out our Amazon Prime status...and hope to do that sooner rather than later.

Some major "interruptus" here!

Started this last night, three episodes later it was a little bit after midnight and I was ready to watch more...

Made the smart decision to hold off until this evening to try to watch the rest.

Very good feel as a period piece, funny, very true feel of the Jewish family dynamic (having known a couple of families that were almost exactly like the two main families portrayed, in the 1980s rather than the 1950s, but still...), and overall enjoyable.

And finished it this morning (watched 4-7 last night, ran out of gas, so 8 when I got up this am).

A great first season, stands nicely on its own if that's all we get, but knowing that it got picked up for two seasons, I'm looking forward to the second...

Renewed for Season 3

 

[Mike Frezon]

Do we think Maisel will be released on disc?

Do we think Maisel will be released on disc?

I doubt it. It's produced in-house by Amazon Studios, and they want to drive viewership to the Prime streaming platform.

The "Gilmore Girls" revival was produced by Warner Bros., and they're the best in the business for TV on disc.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Thanks, Adam.

Figured that would be the case.

 

[Matt Hough]

Can't wait to see season two (and three)! Very happy to read that the first season not only won Golden Globes but the Peabody Award, too. Can the Emmy be far behind?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

We're going to the Catskills!


@Mike Frezon, did you and Peggy ever finish the first season?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Season 2 will premiere December 5th on the Prime Video platform.

Trailer:


Logline:
"After Midge’s triumph at the Gaslight, the fallout from her takedown of Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch) looms large, making her climb up the comedy ladder more challenging than ever. As the actual grind of being a comic begins to take its toll on Midge, the pressure to come clean to her family weighs on her – especially as her choices have a ripple effect on everyone around her."

 

[Josh Dial]

Can't wait. One of the absolute best things on the small screen right now.

 

[Tina_H_V]

And right near my holiday vacation!!! I am so looking forward to this!!!

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, I loved the first season. I hope it comes nowhere near sophomore slump.

I've had this show on my Amazon watch list for quite a while, but had never got around to it. Well, this thread got me motivated. My wife and I watched the first two episodes this evening, and we both really enjoyed the shows. The writing is excellent, and the lead actress is superb in the roll. We will definitely be watching the rest of the episodes. Thanks to everyone in this thread for motivating me to finally watch the show.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

My wife and I finished Season 1 this evening. Our biggest disappointment was that Season 2 isn’t out until December! Seriously, we really enjoyed the first season and will definitely be watching Season 2. The guy who played Lenny Bruce did a great job, too.

To celebrate the return of the show Carnegie Deli is coming back to NYC for one week starting December 1 with $1 sandwiches and 50 cent Black and White cookie and cheesecake. Can't imagine how insanely mobbed the restaurant will be. Season 2 of show is available to stream December 5.
