(Jewish Group) The minds behind 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' how they aim to represent Jews on screen
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” didn’t add to its large collection of awards at the Golden Globes this year. But the third season of the celebrated series, now streaming on Amazon Prime, is keeping audiences hooked as it expands the world of Midge Maisel.
It also comes at a time of increasing awareness and discussion about how minorities — especially Jews, during this period of rising anti-Semitism across the U.S. — are portrayed on screen. As one of the most Jewish series currently on television, “Mrs. Maisel” is involved in a lot of these discussions.
“I think what ‘Mrs. Maisel’ does is to draw on the stereotypes while constantly undermining them [by] showing you the complexity of her character,” a professor said to the Los Angeles Times recently.
Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, the married couple behind the show — Sherman-Palladino the creator (who alone has won four Emmys for the series) and her husband, a co-producer and co-writer — spoke on the topic with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency recently, in what was likely their most Jewish interview to date.
