Amazon debu pilots of shows, and give full seasons to the ones that members give positive feedback on. I decided to watch and review Amazon’s new pilot episodes myself. I’ve already watch The Legend of Master Legend and the second episdoe I chose was The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
As a fan of Gilmore Girls, I was excited for Amy Sherman-Palladino’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I wasn’t disappointed. Firstly, Mrs Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) picks up the fast paced dialogue of Sherman-Palladino’s dialogue perfectly. Starting off with a wedding speech about how all her happiness is pinned on her ability to plan everything down to a T. Consequently, and predictably 4 years later her life starts to unravel and the start of her story occurs.
The 50’s styled interiors and perfectly dress Midge pulled the era to life on screen.I loved Brosnahan’s Midge. She has something about her despite her obvious flaws that make you like her. The perfect kind of girl to be a comedian really. I loved her interactions with the other characters as well. Always happy and chirpy, yet definitely a sense of wittiness and sass ready to appear. Inevitably, the ‘narcissistic’ nature of Midge while irritating, may become a development arc if the series is continued.
