The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Seasons 1–5)

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017) is an Amazon comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. It's 1958 Manhattan, and Midge Maisel has the picture-perfect life, the husband, the kids, the Upper West Side apartment, right up until the night it all falls apart.

A few drinks after her marriage implodes, Midge grabs a microphone at a Greenwich Village club and discovers she can make a room full of strangers laugh better than anyone on the bill. Rachel Brosnahan plays her as part society wife, part fearless heckler. Her foul-mouthed, chain-smoking manager Susie (Alex Borstein) smells a goldmine, while her cerebral parents, played by Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle, never quite know what to make of it. The road runs from basement stages toward a coveted spot on Johnny Carson's couch.

Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the show packs every scene with rapid-fire dialogue, candy-colored 1950s costumes and live jazz, and it picked up multiple Emmys, including wins for Brosnahan and Borstein. It clicks for anyone who loves fast, witty writing and a heroine who refuses to apologize for wanting more. Stream every season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel online on iFILM.
