Amy Sherman-Palladino specializes in unusual love stories. "Gilmore Girls," her breakthrough series, celebrated a mother-daughter bond, one strengthened by their mutual love for junk food and quipping like Rosalind Russell in "His Girl Friday."
In "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," her second masterpiece, the lead character has never had much time for her kids. She's been too obsessed with another passion: herself.
You may not have noticed that selfish streak when the show first premiered on Amazon Prime in 2017. We were too busy admiring the brilliant zingers and collection of hats.
