But first, understand what the show is about
Amazon Prime Video struck gold when it decided to carry the unconventional period comedy-drama show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Little did they know that a show about an ordinary housewife in the 1950s who discovers a knack for stand-up comedy would develop into something extraordinary.
It follows the journey of Miriam "Midge" Maisel, played by Rachel Brosnahan, as she navigates the world of comedy.

Season three ended with Midge being dropped from Shy Baldwin's tour, and thereafter, the next installment was all about the star of the show getting back on her feet and restarting her career in comedy.
Toward the end of season four, we discover that Lenny Bruce has advised Midge to be Tony Bennett's opening act at the Copacabana.
