Spoilers for Season 5 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are ahead, including the series finale. If you haven’t watched the acclaimed show on the 2023 TV schedule, you can stream the entire series with an Amazon Prime subscription.
One of the reasons I’d consider The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel not only one of Amazon Primes' best shows, but one of the best series in general, is the candid, hilarious and turbulent story of Midge Maisel finding her independence. As Rachel Brosnahan’s titular character works her tail off to become the next great stand-up comedian, we see her thrive, falter and ultimately overcome all the challenges put in front of her. And through this empowering story that is driven by snappy dialogue, bright outfits and a quick-witted gal, we got what I would consider the perfect story of a woman finding her independence.
