"I think The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is one of the funniest and wittiest shows of the last decade. I absolutely loved season 1 and then nearly gave up after declines in seasons 2 and 3. But I eventually gave it one more try in season 4 and became a big fan again. Seasons 4 and 5 returned it to its original form and overall, I think the show was a true classic that moved fast and kept us laughing through its witty dialog and lovable characters. Its a unique show that’s probably not for everyone, but I would encourage anyone to try it, because if you like it, you are in for a rare treat. "
"Let me first say the first episode is not a proper representation of the rest of the show. It's more vulgar than the rest so if you can deal with the first you'll love the rest.
Now onto the story. It slowly grows on you and becomes better and better.
However season 2s ending was disastrous. I truly loved Ben and he was great and perfect for midge. Yet they tossed him aside to do that stupid thing tv shows do, stick with whoever they first introduced in the first episode.
Everyone I know who has watched this show hated who she chose then. Literally everyone. Please, if you actually liked that, comment and say why, just so I know you do exist. Maybe someone out there was happy but season 3 surely changed that.
If you ignore the decision of season 2 ending it goes good. The story is what drives you. The jokes are good and well done for the character and time too. Even the annoying characters aren't horrid go watch since the show knows to remove them when needed. It's surprisingly thought out.
Back to thise love interests. Which u will now mention by name. Everyone loves Lenny, and without him they love Ben. I prefer Ben over Lenny for her though. Maisel is last, completely and utterly. I hope season 4 returns Ben and all my friends do want to see him again, but most of them want Lenny to win. I'd be fine with that as long as they stop using Maisel. I'm tired of him as a potential love interest. Especially now that he has a new love interest from season 3 I adore.
The rest is great and it has good rewatchability. Everytime there's a new season, I rewatch from the beginning and still don't get bored. That's saying something!
So yes the show is good, and all but one of the love interests are gold. I truly hope Ben gets another chance but thats a personal opinion."
"AMAZING. I just love everything about this show. The storyline is so well elaborated and every episode leaves you longing for the next one. The humour is one of a kind and there is a lot of thought behind it, it is hilarious and brings you to laugh everytime. The costumes and the decor is so perfectly done it takes you back in time. I enjoyed every episode of it and I still rewatch random episodes from the first season when I get bored. Definitely one of the funniest TV shows in the last decade or so. Highly recommend it. "
"Love the time period….the dawning of the feminist era. Love the costumes and decor of the mid century. It’s just unfortunate that the main character wants to be a stand up comic with a feminist spin. Her rants and tirades. Just aren’t funny!"

"How did I not like this show on this app yet ?!! Well now I did. Update for the very last season: was it really necessary to go back n forth betweeen midge being an older lady and her younger self ? Just now finishing it I don’t really see it’s purpose. The way it ended I was surprised, that’s why I think they could have done without this back n forth shift between time periods. I think they should had kept her present time up until her shot on the Gordon show and then did like 20 years later or whatever "
