As I got ready for my flight to Guatemala, I realized that maybe it would be a good idea to download a show or two to watch on the plane. Downloading the last few episodes of season two of "The Originals" on Netflix, I debated on whether or not I wanted to download another season of "The Originals" or start a new show. Coming to the decision that I wanted a new show to watch, I went through my list on Netflix but nothing called my name.

Switching apps I opened up Amazon Prime Video. For those who have Amazon Prime, really take advantage of your membership and use Amazon Video. There are so many shows and movies on prime. For those who don't have a membership and are currently college students, you can sign up to get a free trial of Amazon Prime Student for six months.

Anyways, back to the point. I went to Amazon Prime Video and remembered that one of my friends told me to watch "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."

At first, the show seems like just another one of those shows aimed at teen girls—like "Gossip Girl." Don't get me wrong, I love me some "Gossip Girl." Heck, I've rewatched all the seasons various times. Set in 1958, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" follows New York City housewife Midge Maisel after her husband leaves her. Mrs. Maisel goes on to find that she has talent as a stand-up comedian, after one night when she had been drinking and decided to take the stage at a small comedy club.

The show's executive producers, Amy Sherman-Palladino (who also produced "Gilmore Girls") and her husband, Daniel Palladino, created Midge Maisel to be the female comedian of the late 1950s who said what "female comedians of that time would've said—if only they had been free to say it." The character Midge, played by Rachel Brosnahan—also known for her role in "House of Cards"—is outspoken to her Jewish parents' dismay, and embodies a feminist of the late 1950s, present Cold War and Civil Rights Movement era.

For those looking for a good laugh I highly recommend this Amazon Original series. Seriously, watch it. It's great. Season two is coming out soon and Amazon just recently announced that the show was renewed for a season three. Close this tab, or open up a new tab, go to Amazon Prime Video and give this show a chance.

If this isn't the show for you (which I will understand) then go and give one of Amazon's other original series a try. Maybe "Fleabag" for good British humor, or "The Man in the High Castle" for an alternate universe post-World War II feel. Take advantage of Amazon Prime if you have it.
