The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel encompasses the old adage, ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’ The series follows Miriam Maisel as she combats personal struggles, judgment from society, challenges and setbacks with humour. Her pursuit of stand-up comedy in the show puts her against the grain of her situation as well as the mechanical and mundane behaviours of those around her. And she does this all while turning this passion for comedy into a means for living and lifting up the spirits of her family and friends.
