However, since we are on a thread where people seem very upset by some adult situations, be warned, there is some bad language in it. I had read about this series, before I started watching it, that it is loosely based on the early career of Joan Rivers. So, when she is in the small club where she starts out, you will hear bad language.
The show is so well done, I give it a pass on the language. It is actually funny, which I find is not true for most "comedies" any more. Try a couple of episodes, you might like it.
On Marvelous...
My wife and I dumped TV in ‘97. We got Amazon Prime about 18 months ago. We’ve tried to watch some modern TV shows there (no commercials and no sense of immediacy). Most of hem sucked or drug out the narrative too much and we bailed by the second or third episode.
We liked “Suits”, but by the third season it just became a stupid soap opera. The Legal stuff became little more than background noise behind an ongoing soap opera. My wife still liked it so I watched, and it did redeem itself in later seasons. But still...
The second one we liked was Marvelous... That show is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen on TV. Simply amazing. We binge watched the first season and kept checking back for the second. We were not disappointed.
Yeah, the language. One problem I have with it is that the F bomb was not in all that common of use back then, but they presented it as if it was. But other than that, a simply amazing show.
