The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)

The big-budget version of the voice, and the one that won Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2018 Emmys. Rachel Brosnahan's Midge is a 1958 Upper West Side housewife who turns to stand-up after her marriage ends, which makes talking fast her actual job. Alex Borstein's Susie, from the Gaslight club, becomes her manager and the perfect deadpan foil, and the period sets and nightclubs look expensive in a way the earlier shows never could. It runs five seasons and 43 episodes, ending in 2023; the middle seasons wander, but the finale lands.
