Season 5 Review: It is ending at exactly the appropriate moment, and these last episodes are the finest ode to what’s been a fabulously funny and exquisitely-produced series. That was Mrs Maisel – thank you, and good night. Read full review

Season 5 Review: It’s a glorious final season that leaps from the 1960s, when comic Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) and her manager Susie (Alex Borstein) get their big break, into the next century when their sisterhood rightly anchors a classic series that is powerfully funny, touching and vital.

Season 3 Review: As glittery fun, whether or not it ultimately sticks with you, it’s greatly entertaining. And for those who have enjoyed the first two seasons, that should be reasons enough to buy another ticket to the show. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It shouldn’t work, but it does. Brosnahan, who had a memorable arc as a vulnerable sex worker on House of Cards, is enchanting as Midge. She’s both a naif in a man’s world and consistently underestimated. Read full review

Season 4 Review: It dawdles getting started, but the next-to-last season of this groundbreaking comedy series about a female comic breaking the testosterone ceiling of standup in 1960 returns to peak form as an on-fire Rachel Brosnahan catches Mrs. Maisel in the exhilarating act of inventing herself.

Season 2 Review: There’s still a bounce to the scenes set outside comedy world, particularly in the visual flourishes deployed by both Palladinos when they direct. ... But just as Midge Maisel isn’t being her best self when she’s away from the stage, so is the show that’s named after her. She needs to get back behind the mic more regularly, and soon.

Season 4 Review: It gives me no pleasure to share that the show is now fixated on its characters complaining problems of the characters’ own making. In one episode, Midge literally thinks her biggest problem is not getting free milk. Worse, the once guillotine-sharp dialogue that made the Sherman-Palladinos favorites amongst TV snobs has been replaced with nonsensical dialogue that constantly loops back on itself.

Guess what? That's the best tv show of the 2010s. Iconic characters, a lot of quotes, music on point, everything's perfect.

A time capsule of comedy, this show started strong and has continued to engage, surprise and delight in every season.

Great show with amazing pace and witty dialogues. Very funny, great costumes. Delivers what it promises. 3rd season is a bit weak compared to other two but still a good show.

As I watched the show, via streaming, I found myself laughing. In fact, I laughed more often than with 95% of any other comedy show I've seen (and I grew up in the golden TV era).

Upon closer look, the acting is very good and the writing is too; "Papa, you are acting crazy. Papa: I assure you this is not an act." Come on, this is good stuff. We'd rate this, "By all means, stream the heck out of this show!"… Expand

This show is really terrible. The acting is ridiculous, campy and bad. Everyone is either exclaiming or shouting at the top of their voices, and walking rapidly from room to room. The whole thing gave me a headache.
