Thanks, pherank and Buddy. I saw the first few episodes and didn't pursue it, although Rachel Brosnahan was excellent and the snippets of standup were often funny, not always the case in scripted series about standups. I admit I did not find the period feeling or decor particularly convincing. It just seemed to scream "PERIOD DECOR!"
It's nice that Amy Sherman-Palladino has found success again after seeming to flail around for a bit following the end of "The Gibson Gilmore Girls." She was responsible for the ill-fated "Bunheads," which showed promise but also had problems that it wasn't allowed time to work out.
I prefer the Sorkin brand of walk-and-talk, but Sherman-Palladino is very talented and writes good roles for women.
