Caught the first episode of this on Amazon Prime last night and was blown away by how good it was, the title may deter some people from checking it out but seriously, don't let it.
"Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) is a Jewish housewife living in New York City in 1958. Her husband, Joel, is a businessman who moonlights as a struggling comedian at The Gaslight Cafe. Midge supports Joel, providing feedback about his sets, but becomes disillusioned when she discovers that Joel has stolen one of his best routines from Bob Newhart."
It starts off in 1958 and quickly moves to 1962, the set design is on par with Mad Men, it's beautifully photographed, well written and Rachel Brosnahan kills it as Mrs Maisle.
Hopefully the rest of the season is on par with the first episode, the 8.8 rating on the IMDB is encouraging.
