The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

[ill]

watching it now, the summer Jew camp episode.

Dammit Midge is a babe.

and Tony Shalhoub is fucking fantastic.

Oh, it's a fantasy?

Not really though there are some enhanced reality/fantasy elements. Some reviewers have said that it's loosely based on Joan Rivers.

that makes sense

Yeah, it really fits, though Brosnahan is a lot hotter than Joan Rivers. Everything else, though.. the era, NYC, both Jews and a cutting, take-no-proisoners comedic attitude.

Sorry, I did not see a thread about this show. If there is one please merge them.

I was not planning on watching this show but I just bought a new TV and wanted to watch something in 4k. Boy am I glad I chose this show. It's delightful. Miriam is very supportive of her unfunny husband's comedy hobby. When he leaves her she gets drunk and heads to the club to pick up her pyrite dish. They can go from hot to cold without cracking! While she is there she wanders up on stage and is very entertaining.

Star Rachel Brosnahan is terrific. Alex Borstein is usually great in things and this show is no exception. I cannot wait to watch more!

Watched this show and considered it a waste of time. The best new show on television is "The Passage".

I'm not interested in NYC Jewish culture.

No, cuckdom is real, Toad, proven by the phaggotry going on in this thread.

she really fucking owns the role

I just got to where the dude from Chuck is in it.

The show is not about "Jewish culture" any more than The Godfather is about Italian culture. I'd be surprised if you did like it. Your taste in entertainment is very pedestrian.

I didn't even recognize him and I used to watch Chiuck regularly. He's a lot older and taller than he appeared to be on that show.

Actually it IS real heavily about Jewish culture and I wonder if someone not from the region or Jewish would get half the jokes.

Curious about that.

But perhaps like Godfather I and II which was a window into Italian-American culture and Mafia, Maisal can be like that too.

I'm happy enough with that show too so far.

Haha Joan would have gotten the joke. But, seriosuly, it sounds like it might be good.

I’m amused that Midge’s parents don’t have any grey on their heads. Jet black hair when they’re both surely over 50.

Actually my taste in both music and entertainment is far superior to yours. Just a fact.

Tony Shalhoub is fucking fantastic.

I will admit that Tony Shaloub is the only redeeming thing about show.

They most likely use hair coloring.

Watching a few eps tonight.

The show is interesting, but her comedy isn’t funny.

You mean boring.
