It quickly captivated audiences with the story of Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a 1950s New York housewife turned stand-up comedian, played brilliantly by Rachel Brosnahan. Midge’s journey from a heartbroken divorcee to a confident, boundary-pushing comic, backed by her tough-as-nails manager Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein), was both inspirational and wildly entertaining.
