Plot

Season 1

In 1958, Miriam "Midge" Maisel is a young, upper class Jewish American housewife living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Her husband of four years, Joel, a businessman working at a plastics company, moonlights as a comedian at The Gaslight Cafe, copying more acclaimed comics' material. After one particularly mediocre performance, Joel leaves Midge for his secretary.

A dejected and drunken Midge goes back to the Gaslight where she delivers an impromptu set, confessing her predicament to the audience. While her bawdy, biting, and brilliant delivery enthralls the audience, she gets arrested after baring her breasts.

Midge meets comic Lenny Bruce, who has also been arrested for obscenity in his act. Midge is bailed out of jail, and she, in turn, bails out Bruce. Inspired to be a comedian herself, she teams up with Gaslight employee Susie Myerson, who becomes her manager.

After Midge and her two children move in with her parents, Rose and Abe, she lands a job at B. Altman, a high-end department store, working at the cosmetics counter. In addition to an income, the job provides material for Midge's act.

Midge visits New York clubs to study other comedians. She meets top comedian Sophie Lennon, who is completely unlike her frumpy on-stage character. Sophie advises Midge to develop her own stage persona, but Midge prefers performing as herself.

After Midge disparagingly reveals in her act that Sophie is actually a wealthy, snobbish socialite, she is blacklisted from every club in the city. However, with Susie and Lenny's help, Midge performs again and proves she can be a professional comic.

Joel secretly watches her act, and, dejected, realizes she is truly talented. After trying out various stage names, Midge settles on "Mrs. Maisel".

Season 2

Midge's mother, Rose, moves to Paris after her New York social life falls apart. Initially oblivious to her departure, Midge and Abe attempt to persuade her to return home.

Back in New York, two thugs working for Sophie Lennon's manager abduct Susie. They end up befriending and then releasing her with a warning that others may come looking for her.

After enjoying life in Paris with and without Abe, Rose returns home after Abe promises to be more like his vacation self. He arranges for her to audit art classes at Columbia University, where he is a tenured mathematics professor. The family goes on their annual vacation at a Catskill Mountains resort.

Susie, upset that Midge will be away for two months, goes to the resort, and, impersonating a staff person, works on booking gigs in the area. She books Midge at a large hotel where she gives a sexually-charged performance, unaware a stunned Abe is in the audience. Midge meets Benjamin Ettenberg, a successful New York doctor whom she starts dating.

With Abe the only family member knowing about her side-career, Midge continues performing. When she wants to skip an important gig because it is on Yom Kippur, Susie insists that Midge perform; Abe tells Midge it is time to tell the family.

Midge and Susie embark on a short comedy tour outside New York City. Susie books Midge for a spot on a telethon, where Midge meets famous singer, Shy Baldwin. Susie learns that Sophie Lennon controls the show.

Still angry over Midge having exposed her real identity, Sophie gets her bumped to the telethon's late-night end slot. Emboldened by knowing fewer viewers are watching, Midge's all-out performance is a hit, lighting up the phones with last-minute donations. Her performance prompts Shy Baldwin to offer her a job as the opening act on his six-month tour throughout the United States and Europe, which Midge immediately accepts. Meanwhile, after Susie threatened her for her scheme against Midge and tired of her own act, Sophie asks Susie to be her manager, saying she wants a manager who will fight for her like Susie does for Midge.

Abe considers leaving Bell Labs and Columbia, fed up with their interference in his personal life. Benjamin proposes to Midge, despite her still being married to Joel. After watching Lenny Bruce's act about being alone, Midge ponders the personal cost of a full-time comedy career.

Joel's father Moishe gives Joel a large sum of money, wanting him to pursue whatever he wants to do in life. Joel decides he wants to open a night club.

Season 3

After ending her engagement with Benjamin and a one night-stand with Joel, Midge kicks off a USO tour with Shy Baldwin, and meets his no-nonsense manager, Reggie. Susie and Midge briefly fall out over Susie managing Sophie Lennon, though Midge later relents, wanting Susie to be independently successful. Joel finds a suitable night club venue in Chinatown, but soon discovers the cheap rent is because an illegal casino operates in the basement. He begins seeing Mei, a woman who helped him procure the space. Mei assists Joel with other tasks, specifically obtaining the pending liquor license.

Abe's leaving Columbia University and Bell Labs has financial repercussions and forces the family to vacate their apartment, owned by Columbia. Rose requests her wealthy Oklahoma oil family increase her trust fund allowance, then cuts ties with them with over their sexist attitudes. Having no other options, Abe and Rose stay at Moishe and Shirley Maisel's new house in Forest Hills, Queens.

Joel and Midge's divorce is finalized before Midge leaves for Las Vegas. After a lackluster opening night, Midge adapts to performing on the road. Sophie's desire to play the lead in Strindberg's play, Miss Julie, leads Susie to secure producers, a Broadway theater, and a notable male co-star. Joel visits Midge in Las Vegas while Susie is in New York. After a drunken night together, Midge and Joel wake up in bed together to discover that they got re-married. They mutually agree to divorce again.

During rehearsals, Sophie proves she is a talented dramatic actress, but becomes unnerved on opening night and reverts to her comic persona, ad libbing the dialogue. Critics savage the play, forcing its closure. Susie angrily lambastes Sophie for ruining her chance to be a serious actor.

Abe visits his old friend, Asher Friedman, a playwright blacklisted for Communist Party connections. Abe writes an article about Asher's unfair treatment that is published in The New York Times which leads to his being offered a job as a theater critic for The Village Voice.

Lenny Bruce, currently living in Miami, sees Midge while she is performing there. Lenny takes her along to a local live TV show he is appearing on. Lenny ends the night by telling Midge her act is "sensational". Midge discovers that Shy is secretly gay. He occasionally becomes depressed and sometimes disappears for days, missing performances. After one violent encounter, Midge gets Shy on stage, helping to hide his injuries. When the tour goes on hiatus while Shy recuperates, Midge does radio ads, though the pay is sometimes non-monetary.

Midge wants her old Upper West Side apartment back, partially so her children can attend Manhattan schools. Moishe agrees to sell her the apartment, with Midge's tour contract as collateral. Meanwhile, Rose discovers she has a matchmaking talent for her friends' unmarried adult children.

Midge arrives for Joel's grand opening and does a short impromptu set when the band has some technical difficulties. After Susie loses most of Midge's earning on sports gambling, she turns over Midge's finances to Joel, knowing he is trustworthy. To repay Midge, Susie, along with her sister, commits insurance fraud by burning down their deceased mother's home.

At her Apollo Theater debut, Midge is reunited with Shy. Backstage, Midge is star-struck meeting Moms Mabley, but is dismayed that she has been billed above Mabley on the program as Shy's opening act. Believing she is not ready for the prestigious Apollo, Midge is stressed that the crowd will resent a white comic. Reggie suggests she discuss Shy and life on the tour in her act, unaware Midge knows that Shy is gay. Midge mistakenly assumes that Shy's hometown Harlem audience also knows, and her gay-inferred jokes almost "out" him. When Susie and Midge later arrive at the airport, Reggie informs them that Shy has dropped Midge from the tour. Distraught, they plead to make amends but are left on the tarmac as the plane takes off.

268"A Jewish Girl Walks Into the Apollo…"Amy Sherman-PalladinoAmy Sherman-PalladinoDecember 6, 2019 (2019-12-06)

Moishe agrees to sell Midge's former apartment back to her — using her Baldwin tour contract as collateral. Susie's sports gambling costs her Midge's earnings, driving a desperate Susie to attempt insurance fraud to repay the money. Susie also appoints Joel as sole manager of Midge's finances, knowing he can be trusted. Someone objecting to Abe's article splatters him with tomatoes. Abe sees it as a sign that his writing affects people; it also leads to an unexpected job offer as a theater critic for The Village Voice. Midge is stunned to be billed ahead of black comedy legend Moms Mabley (Wanda Sykes) on Shy's big showcase at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater. Shy's manager Reggie suggests an anxious Midge just talk about Shy and the tour. Midge wrongly assumes the Harlem audience knows about Shy's homosexuality. Her improvised routine with jokes about Shy's effeminate behavior wins over the tough Apollo audience, but Reggie kicks her off the Baldwin tour for nearly outing Shy.

Production

Development

In developing the series, Amy Sherman-Palladino was inspired by childhood memories of her father, a standup comedian based in NYC, and an admiration for early female comics such as Joan Rivers and Totie Fields.[4][5][6]

On June 6, 2016, it was confirmed that Amazon had given the production a pilot order. The pilot episode was written by Sherman-Palladino, who also served as executive producer.[7] On March 2, 2017, it was reported that the pilot would premiere as a part of Amazon's Spring 2017 pilot season on March 17, 2017.[8] On April 10, 2017, Amazon gave the production a series order consisting of two seasons. The series was confirmed to be executive produced by Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino with Dhana Gilbert serving as a producer.[9] On October 10, 2017, it was reported that the series would premiere on November 29, 2017.[10]

On May 20, 2018, Amazon renewed the series for a third season which will consist of eight episodes.[11][12] On October 24, 2018, it was announced that the second season would premiere on December 5, 2018.[13] On August 19, 2019, the release of the third season was announced for December 6, 2019.[1]

Casting

On August 5, 2016, Rachel Brosnahan was cast in the pilot's lead role.[14] In September 2016, it was reported that Tony Shalhoub and Michael Zegen had joined the pilot's main cast.[15][16] On October 6, 2016, Marin Hinkle was cast in one of the pilot's main roles.[17] In May 2017, it was reported that Joel Johnstone, Caroline Aaron, Kevin Pollak, and Bailey De Young were set to appear in recurring roles.[18][19]

On May 23, 2018, Zachary Levi was announced to appear in the second season in a recurring capacity.[20] On August 15, 2018, it was reported that Jane Lynch would reprise her role of Sophie Lennon in recurring capacity in season two.[21]

On April 15, 2019, it was announced that Sterling K. Brown will appear in the third season in an undisclosed role.[22] The October 14, 2019 release of the season's teaser trailer revealed that Liza Weil would also play an undisclosed character.[23]

Filming

Principal photography for the pilot took place from September 27 to October 14, 2016 in Manhattan.[24] On October 4 and 5, 2016, filming took place at 96 St. Marks Place where exterior shots were being filmed. Residents of the building used for filming were reportedly unhappy about the disruption that the production would cause.[25]

Design

The "apartment" where Midge and her husband Joel live was created on the same set as the apartment where Midge's parents live, but with more modern (late-1950s) design, inspired in part by Doris Day movies, according to production designer Bill Groom.[26] The retro looking typeface used for the main title is called Sparkly and was designed by Stuart Sandler of Font Diner.[27]

Release

The pop-up restaurant modeled after Carnegie Deli.

Marketing

On October 10, 2017, the official trailer for the first season was released.[10] On August 9, 2018, a teaser trailer for the second season was released.[28] On October 24, 2018, the official trailer for season two was released.[13] From December 1–8, 2018, Amazon opened up a pop-up restaurant in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood modeled after Carnegie Deli as it appeared during the 1950s. The restaurant served a menu much more limited than what was actually offered at the original deli with the only two sandwich options being "The Maisel" and "The Susie." Other items offered included mini knishes, black and white cookies, cheesecake, and pickles. As the restaurant was purely for promotional purposes, nothing on the menu cost more than 99 cents, and all the proceeds went to support the Lower Eastside Girls Club.[29]

In August 2019, to promote the show for the upcoming 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, Amazon partnered with various businesses in and around Santa Monica, California, to provide goods and services at 1959 prices. The offer to sell gasoline at $0.30 per gallon led to long queues and traffic jams in front of the gas station that offered the promotion, forcing police to intervene.[30][31]

Premiere

On November 13, 2017, the series held its official premiere at the Village East Cinema in New York City.[32]

Reception

In December 2019, two costumes from the series were accessioned by the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution.[33]

Season 1

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 94% approval rating, with an average rating of 7.43 out of 10 based on 81 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is an upbeat addition to Amazon's original offerings, propelled by a playful yet poignant performance by Rachel Brosnahan."[34] On Metacritic, the series has an average weighted score of 80 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[35]

The pilot episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was one of Amazon Video's most successful ever, achieving an average viewer rating of 4.9 (out of 5).[9] The review of the pilot in The Guardian praised the combination of Sherman-Palladino's "banging dialogue and the utterly winning charm of Brosnahan",[36] while The A.V. Club praised the "outstanding" production design and said "this is a series that's as confident as its heroine—and what a heroine she is."[37] A critic for Slate called the episode "a knockout", stating that the stand-up element "introduces a welcome streak of discipline, both verbal and thematic, into Sherman-Palladino's charming but manic work."[38]

The Jerusalem Post highlighted the exceptionally well done "Jewishness" of the work, calling it a "comedic delight of a show, combining Sherman-Palladino's knack for witty dialogue with the colorful, rich world of 1950s New York and the intensity of family drama and changing times."[39] NPR similarly highlighted the effectiveness of the comedy in the show, calling it "a heroic fantasy."[40]

Season 3

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season holds an 83% approval rating, with an average rating of 7.67 out of 10 based on 46 reviews.
