It seemed surprisingly boring to me. It self categorizes with Doctor Zhivago. Is it all like the pilot episode or does it eventually gain content?

I like the show. I have not seen the new season. The writing in this article is too painful to read

I have never watched the show. I don’t even know what channel it is on.

I have a friend who loves the show.

But he also loves Jonah Goldberg and hates Trump, so…….

It's an Amazon Prime Original. It's quite entertaining.

My wife and I are watching the new season now. It is bad. But we will continue to watch because my wife likes it.

It’s on Prime. The latest episode has a scene in a lesbian bar.

Billions started a new season and it went woke with the new owner firing investors if they are into politically incorrect investments.

Well then I am really glad I’ve never seen it despite constant ‘you should watch this’ advertisements.

I've never watched the show and it's likely I never will, but this rendition of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "I Enjoy Being a Girl" is excellent.

The singer is Sutton Foster; never heard of her before.

The first season was very good. But then I’m a big fan of jewish style humor. Second season, ... eh, it had plenty of good moments like Maisel’s manager lurking around the Catskills pretending to be employed by carrying a tool.

The new season -tonight will be the third episode- so far is landing somewhere between the first two seasons.

“The writing in this article is too painful to read.”

Isn’t that the truth. What a horrible mish-mash of English words without any coherent theme. All of my English teachers would have given this an F.

This article tries to frame the show in the context of the 1960s sexual revolution, but there is very little sex in Maisel.

To me, the show is more like what a Norman Rockwell painting would look like if he were Jewish. Much of the gags are about the generational difference between Maisel and her ex-husband, and their parents, set in New York City as they each try to break away from their parents' lifestyle patterns.

The scene in the second episode where she is explaining her situation to the rest of the family while seated in separate cars on the Coney Island giant Ferris wheel is quite comical.

Seems like a lot to pin on a TV show.

The first season had a few nice musical sequences, like when Maisel walks through the garment district on the way to her in-law's garment factory.

Never watched it. Is it as good a Reacher?

I like the show for one reason...Tony Shalhoub. He’s a really underrated actor. I started watching the new season, but only got 15 minutes in...too many f-bombs. I don’t know why they think that word is funny.
