As witty, smart, and humorous as I remember, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" delivered fun-tastic performances in a storyline filled with well-written jokes and time-perfect deliveries.
Family dynamics and stand-up comedy ambitions kept each episode taut. Somehow, it never gets boring in the House of Maisel. Exceptional writing and flawless editing can do that for a show, I reckon.
A divorce (Moishe and Shirley!) and a marriage (Joel and Mei!) were on the books, but situational obstacles stood in the way of both. In the meantime, Susie was back to her old tricks and was trying everything under the sun to get Midge a big break while also trying to keep her talent-management enterprise above water.
Television studio pressures, writing madness, and joke-writing excellence enriched a good portion of the plot in season 5 of "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". It saw Midge being more adaptable and reckless than usual, if it meant getting closer to what she truly wanted, a major TV spot.
I loved two particularly evocative performances, namely Kate Abbruzzese playing Princess Margaret and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer singing and dancing as Carol Burnett.
Memory time-lapses between the 60s and 80s, not to forget some great aging makeup, made the show feel rounded and rooted. They also included some superb emotional scenes and all the comedy was on point.
The team even delved into some amazing backstories and philosophical realizations. Each character was given due closure and then it was curtains.
This show redefined the word hustle and showed how stand-up often includes standing up for what you believe in. And they had some crazy-good jokes to drive the point home.
Thank you for all the laughs and the tears. I assure you, we've been a 'marveled' audience.
