After starting The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel this morning, all I want to do is binge through the series.

It is fresh, funny, and fitting for our times with a gentle but insightful look at gender roles and how they evolve.

When the “perfect” 1950s housewife confronts a change in circumstances, she decides to become a stand-up comedian.

In an age when so many characters on “television” are dark, deceitful, or mean, it is…well…it’s actually a relief…to have a smart and basically nice central character to identify with and root for without having to perform psychological contortions.

Next up on my binge list: Transparent, She’s Gotta Have It, and The Crown (plan to watch the new season with my mother at Christmas).

What are you watching and enjoying? I love suggestions!
