Ann.without.an.e Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Has anyone seen this? I rarely watch television. My mom suggested it so I just binge watched. ETA - I was pleasantly surprised. What a captivating series. Definitely not for kids. Edited December 20, 2017 by Attolia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 oh, is it a whole series now1? When I found it it was just the pilot. I loved it and was mad there were no more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yes! I've been watching and loving it for the most part. Sometimes the swearing (the F word) seems overdone for the time period - what do you think? Other than that, I think it's great! I really enjoy the interaction between her and her parents. So so funny! I still have the last episode to watch and am saving it up. Anyone happen to know when more episodes will be ready? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the characters weren't so wonderfully written nor the storyline so captivating, I wouldn't watch it for the language. I have been binge watching this all week. Hilarious!

Lady Florida. Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'm really enjoying it. Sometimes the dialogue is too modern but that's okay. It's still wonderful. I stopped at the second to last episode because I was cringing for her in what she's about to do - She's about to go off script in her stand-up routine. As soon as she mentioned Sophie I had to stop. I just couldn't watch her crash like that with Harry in the audience. . I'll probably finish watching tomorrow night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbridgeacademy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I don't usually watch shows that are character driven (I like mysteries) but I loved it, loved the way it ends and I'm pretty sure it's already been picked up for 2nd series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I watched the pilot episode when it first came out and loved it! I’ve been waiting for just the right time to watch the rest of season one. As an FYI, this series was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of Gilmore Girls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I also loved it - binge-watched it a week or so ago. Also don't think there needed to be quite so many f-bombs, but it's so well written and the characters are so great I can give that a pass. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I began watching yesterday. It's hilarious (except the language).

Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I finished episode 6 before getting out of bed this morning. I love the clothes and the staging. Their apartments are beautiful. The contrast between the club gigs and her home life is striking. The one point that bothers me (that might not be the correct phrase because I'm not really bothered, more of an irked curiosity) is how she can work all day and then go to parties 8 out of 14 nights. When does she see her children? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Midge is someone who is one way on the surface, but who is perfectly willing to flout the rules when it's to her convenience. As I understand it, some Conservative and most Reform synagogues would have had family seating by the 50's. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I just binge watched this weekend while everyone else was out of town. What a fun show! I'm not a fan of the Gilmore Girls, but I really enjoyed this -- love the sets, the costumes, most of the acting, and much of the script. Amazon is streaming it for free this weekend, I think through Monday night, to celebrate the Golden Globe wins. https://www.pcmag.com/news/358497/watch-the-marvelous-mrs-maisel-free-on-amazon-this-weeken 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I would love to get my mother’s take on this. She is probably 6 years younger than Midge, if I am doing my math right, went to the same school in NYC (if Midge was real they would have been there at the same time), and my grandfather taught at Columbia, so lots of overlap. The one difference is that her family isn’t Jewish. Unfortunately, I don’t think she’d get past the profanity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CT Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 re shrimp egg rolls and pork chops My pet peeve is a Jewish one. Their kosher butcher sells pork chops in the first episode.

Otherwise, I love the show. :) I guess I assumed that the shrimp at the wedding, the non-kosher butcher, and the drink alcohol on Yom Kippur were all intentional signals. That Midge is someone who is one way on the surface, but who is perfectly willing to flout the rules when it's to her convenience. As I understand it, some Conservative and most Reform synagogues would have had family seating by the 50's. I read it this way as well. Not just Midge but her parents as well (the egg rolls at the wedding, at least) -- they cared that the Rabbi come to the break-fast but not about serving him the egg rolls in the first place. That she's grown up held in that tension, recognizing it, broadcasting it into the mic in that very first wedding speech scene in the very first episode -- is part of what forged her and delivered her into comedy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I finally finished the last two episodes last night. I loved all of it! Love Tony Shalhoub and all the cast of actors... so well done. The script is fantastic! Did anyone catch the episode (last or next to last) when Midge asked him what he was doing and he said he was alphabetizing his books? I wonder if that was an intentional nod to Monk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Do not get attached to Bunheads! It ends abruptly. I think it got cancelled. I loved Gilmore Girls, but couldn’t stand Bunheads. I think Gilmore Girls is the only TV series I’ve ever watched all the way through twice, but I stopped after a few episodes of Bunheads. I’m looking forward to trying Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, as I’ve got a few weeks left on my free Prime trial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
