In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel's life is on track- husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment with the Rabbi! But when her life takes a surprise turn, she must quickly decide what else she's good at - and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino and stars Rachel Brosnahan, who grew up in Highland Park.

An enduring comment on feminism in Jewish life during this time, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has become a cultural touchstone for those watching today.
