LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA : Although Alex Borstein is well recognized for her critically acclaimed portrayal of the outspoken comedy manager Susie Myerson on 'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel', this does not imply that she is a devoted fan. The Amazon Prime Video series, which premieres its fifth and final season on April 14, was only seen by the 52-year-old actress for the first two episodes, she admitted.
While talking to the press, Borstien also opened about what fans can expect from the show's finale. According to the actor, the finale is all set to make the fans "laugh" a lot and then leave them "sob" a little later. So what is making the actor wait to watch the show?

Why hasn't Alex Borstein watched 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' yet?
Well, the answer is related to her daughter. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Borstein revealed that after Season 5 debuts, she intends to watch "the whole show" with her 10-year-old daughter, Henrietta Borstein Douglas. She said "I'm gonna have ice cream in my bed with my daughter and we are gonna watch it."
Another reason why the actor hasn't watched the show yet is because she thinks it will affect her performance on set. "I can't watch it while I'm doing it, because then I change. Anything observed is changed and I change what I'm doing," she explained. "I'll not like how my arm looks, so then for the rest of the season, I'll hold it. It's so bad, so I wait. I have waited this long."
'I think it's satisfying on all those levels'
While chatting with ET, the actor also teased the media a little bit about the Season 5 finale. Borstein said, "You are going to laugh and then you are going to sob a tiny bit. I think it's satisfying on all those levels." The actress added, "I hope. I haven't seen the episodes. I'm a tiny bit terrified myself, but eager and excited. I'm just as excited as the fans are."
