Earlier this month, Amazon released the second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a period dramedy that won five Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes for its first season. This show happens to be the best thing on television (or the Internet, whatever you prefer to call it nowadays.)
No matter if you’re on episode one, seven, have finished watching the whole thing, or haven’t even started watching it yet, we compiled a compelling list about WHY The MMM is the greatest TV show out there right now.
The Fashion
No one ever has, or ever will be more fashionable than Midge.
The Boy Drama
Enlightened, intelligent, evolved women that we are, there’s no shame in indulging in the pleasure of a little drama with boys. They’re good for Midge, bad for her, and heck, we could always use a little good old-fashioned sexual tension.
The Quick Wit
Think you can keep up with the dialogue in this show? You’re wrong, the rest of us can only DREAM of spitting verse the way these characters do it.
Alex Borstein
It is a truth universally acknowledged that this show would not shimmer, shine, or sparkle without the talents and foul mouth of Alex Borstein. We are not worthy.
The Single Girl Twirl
You know the one. Carrie Bradshaw did it. Vivian from Pretty Woman did it. And Miriam Maisel did it too. Celebrate your fabulous single life in the city with a twirl.
