'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' is wonderful but nobody is talking about double standards in the Emmy-winning show

Season two of the groundbreaking series 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' airs tomorrow, but here's something from season one that needs to be addressed
PUBLISHED DEC 4, 2018

It's been a marvelous year for Amazon Prime Video's hit 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.' As we gear up and look forward to the second season and all the revolutionary acts the titular protagonist of the show Miriam "Midge" Maisel has in store for us, we look back at season one and how her heartbreak launched her career to the woman she is today and the woman we all aspire to be. 

The series nonchalantly went on to bag eight Emmys and two Golden Globes and the dramedy was hailed an extraordinaire, sealing it as the solution to what Hollywood needs to be in a #MeToo driven era. Of course, the show tackles issues of sexism like pouring cold water over a boiling one. We love it, everyone does, and now as we move on to the second season, we sense everyone raving about the show and the trailer, but there are things still unsaid about season one.
