Just as there weren't many women in chess in the '50s, there weren't many women in standup comedy, either. A splash more colourful than The Queen's Gambit, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel depicts a familiar struggle through Rachel Brosnahan's character, Midge Maisel, a '50s housewife and mother who persistently pursues her knack for comedy.
