One of the most compelling aspects of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's first and second seasons is seeing a woman who miraculously has it "all" — a husband, two adorable kids, a comfortable lifestyle, and a stunning apartment — fall to pieces so completely and then put herself back together again with a vengeance. Unlike the fast-talking heroines of her WB hit, Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino is free to let Midge's mouth run at a million miles a minute, unencumbered by network censorship. Because of this, we get to see her raw, cathartic, electrifying stand-up sets in Greenwich Village and beyond, which help the former housewife find her purpose once again. She has a fire rageing inside those pastel skirt-sets, and it's a joy to watch.
