Supposed to be in the 40's much of next week...looks like another green one headed our way.
But that's ok because I did have lunch with Santa Claus this past week...
He's def one of the good guys.
On one hand, it is the start of winter, something about which I'm not happy...but...for those of you who like to stroll on the sunny side of the street...
In fact Karen and I were so happy we built a snowman...
Can it be Spring now please?
It's delightfully mid century modern and thoroughly Jewish, both of which I totally enjoy.
However, it is also profane at times, and occasionally gratuitously so...
Overall the show is very well written with high production values and interesting (and at times historically accurate) characters...so that part is right up my alley.
Costumes, hairstyles, sets, automobiles, home decor and especially the music - all spot on accurate for the late 1950's, so it's a ton of fun to immerse ourselves in that era.
And the acting is truly first rate.
Rachel Brosnahan is superb as the main character, "Midge" Maisel, and she has a fantastic supporting cast:
Michael Zegen is her estranged husband, Alex Borstein is the Gaslight club manager, Tony Shalhoub is her brilliant mathematician father, Marin Hinkle is her prim and proper mother, and Kevin Pollack and Caroline Aaron are her in-laws.
There have been 3 seasons already so we're late to the party just like we were with Downton Abbey...and it's been renewed for a 4th.
We're also just into episode 6 of season 1 and we're NOT binge watching, so we'll see how things go.
Hoping it doesn't lose focus and run off the rails like Mad Men did after several seasons.
