One of my biggest problems with the film is that I didn't find her funny...not in her stand up or in her zingers in real life. So it took too much suspension of reality to completely get emersed in the story. She approached the stage like a comedian. She moved like a comedian when she held the mic, and ended the show like the real thing, throwing her arms up in the air, saying "I'm Mrs. Maisel. "
But she was never funny. In fact, i found her father and his quirky ways, ( as when he was lost and confused behind his stacks of books in his study ) funnier !
I felt if you're going to invest in a series about a stand up comic, isn't there an obligation the part of the show's creators, to have to make on her funny !!
