Mrs. Maisel’s Season 2 Is the Perfect Escape From 2018

Everyone loves a comeback story, and with its first season, Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel offered two of them. There was the unlikely evolution of heroine Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) from jilted Upper West Side Jewish housewife to rising downtown stand-up star. But the 1950s-set series also marked a triumph for its creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, who'd spent years following her long run with Gilmore Girls struggling to find an audience for her chatty, female-focused shows.
