The Marvelous Mrs Maisel - Season One (2017 Amy Sherman-Palladino)

The pilot won her the Emmy for both writing and directing. She started out as a Roseanne writer, created and wrote Gilmore Girls. Husband Daniel is a producer. Dad Don was an actor.

Is it the same apartment building as in Modern Love? (Riverside Drive and West 111th Street with a view of the Hudson River.)

Rachel Brosnahan (Crisis in Six Scenes), Alex Borstein (Suzi), Michael Zegen (Jonah), Tony Shaloub, Marin Hinkle, Kevin Pollak, Caroline Aaron, Brian Tarantina (nightclub manager), Luke Kirby (Lenny Bruce), Jane Lynch, Bailey de Young.

An Amazon original. We enjoyed it so much we thought we'd better ration the next two series over our period of sobriety. Loved the Lenny Bruce connection (they bail each other out of prison), smoking dope with the band...

Lovely to see The Village in the fifties. Great production design and cinematography (Bill Groom and M. David Mullan); good use of old songs.
