History Series / TheMarvelousMrsMaisel

** The Season 3 finale has an impressively nuanced case, as Midge is encouraged to make jokes about Shy for the working class black crowd at the Apollo, resulting in [[spoiler:several jokes that these days are obviously about him being gay, but at the time the subject was so outside most people’s mindset that they would just come off about him being high maintenance. Thus, [[BothSidesHaveAPoint it’s perfectly understandable both that Midge would think they were okay, and that Shy would consider them too close for comfort and fire her.]]]]

** In "The Punishment Room", Midge makes several off-color jokes at a Catholic wedding reception. Then she makes matters even worse when she says it must be a {{shotgun wedding}} since Mary and her husband have only known each other for a few months...[[ExplainExplainOhCrap realizing just seconds too late]] that it really is one.

* FlashForward: Each episode of Season 5 opens in the 1980s that reveals [[spoiler: Midge is now a famous and respected Emmy-winning comic star while also estranged from her kids and some sort of falling out with Susie.]]
* ForcedOutOfTheCloset: [[spoiler:Shy dumps Midge from his European tour because he understood the jokes she made about being high-maintenance as instead making it clear that he is gay. The next season even has him [[TheBeard getting married]] to ensure his public image is still as a straight person]].

* HandsOffParenting: Joel and Midge practice this with their children, often leaving them with the grandparents while they go off and do their thing. This even happened during their life together. When presented the opportunity to leave on a six-month tour with Shy Baldwin, a singer she met at the telethon, Midge doesn't even hesitate in accepting, and never considers her kids to be a factor in choosing whether to go. [[spoiler:Predictably, this has consequences--their son is estranged from them and their daughter hates Midge's guts.]]

** Mei's [[ConvenientMiscarriage abortion]]

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: After Midge [[spoiler:unintentionally outs Shy Baldwin at The Apollo at the end of season three, season four opens with Shy announcing his wedding to a woman, who is just one of several fake girlfriends acting as TheBeard for him.]]

** [[spoiler: Noah turns out to work for the CIA, though he insists that he's just a desk jockey analyst]].

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Just as things are looking up for Joel and Midge, and Joel's career is about to take off, he finds out about her stand-up gig, quits his job, and leaves her performance (talking about their sex life) in despair. However, he ''also'' attacks one of her hecklers after leaving, aggressively defending her ability as a comic while doing so]].

* NeverMyFault: When Sophie Lennon bungles her Broadway comeback in season 3, outside the theatre, she tries to blame everyone else for her failure, accusing Susie of conspiring with Gavin and the director to put her down to prop up Midge. As Susie fires back, she stuck her neck out for Sophie, gave her absolutely all the support and encouragement Sophie needed, believed in her...and she still fucked it all up. That’s all on her, no one else—not on Susie, Midge, Gavin, or the director.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Both sets of parents in the Maisel-Weissman family [[RedOniBlueOni are annoying in their own way]]. Abe and Rose are rigid, proper and put on airs, usually prioritizing appearances and their own petty concerns over others. With that said, they're often the OnlySaneMan when the family comes together. Meanwhile, Moishe and Shirly are loud, obnoxious and overbearing. With that said, they're usually more loving and honest than the Weissmans. Ultimately, neither side is more or less of a pain in the ass.

* HandsOffParenting: Joel and Midge practice this with their children, often leaving them with the grandparents while they go off and do their thing. This even happened during their life together. When presented the opportunity to leave on a six-month tour with Shy Baldwin, a singer she met at the telethon, Midge doesn't even hesitate in accepting, and never considers her kids to be a factor in choosing whether to go.
* HandWave: A few examples

* AmbiguouslyGay: Susie. She's always seen dressed in mens' clothing and is frequently actually mistaken for a man. When Joel is trying to get her to give him a spot at the club by complimenting her blouse, she tells him, "Barking up the wrong tree, pal." In season 2, it is implied that she's shared a bed with few to no other people, which could suggest that she's asexual, in the closet and/or celibate due to homophobia of the time period. In season 3, she knows exactly why Shy and Reggie took Midge saying the latter had “Judy Garland shoes” to mean she was telling the audience he was gay when Midge genuinely has no idea what that meant. However, this could be explained by Susie living and working in Greenwich Village and learning this by osmosis.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: This trope arrives in full force in season 3 when Midge goes on a date with Lenny while in Miami. [[spoiler:When the two of them reach his hotel room, she elects not to spend the night with him, but as she's leaving they both confirm that there's still something [[UnresolvedSexualTension unresolved]] between them that they may revisit at a later time. In the season 4 finale, TheyDo, although what exactly comes next for them is left up in the air.]]

* CourtroomAntics: Midge and Joel when finalizing their divorce. The judge is dragging his feet, as they're acting too amicable. Joel has to claim he's slept with a harem of women (with Susie corroborating) to get the judge to cave.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Midge has it on-and-off with Joel (natural, given the [[RelationshipRevolvingDoor cyclical]] nature of their relationship) and more consistently with Lenny, which is brought to the forefront and ratcheted UpToEleven halfway through season 3.

** The Steiner Mountain Resort in the Catskills has a swimsuit pageant every year, which Midge has competed in for eight years straight, even trying to choose between a [[PinkIsFeminine pale pink]] [[TheIngenue "Doris Day"]] [[TheGirlNextDoor two-piece]] and [[TrueBlueFemininity turquoise with white polka dots]] [[FemmeFatale "Mamie Van Doren"]] [[GoodBadGirl bikini]]. She's disappointed in season 2 when she's demoted to being "sash girl" (the girl who presents the sash to the winner) because of her separation from Joel.

* HollywoodNerd:
** The clerks/proprietors of Music Inn are nerdy wimps with an affinity for obscure recordings.
** Abe is a fan of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'', even reciting the plot to "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E8TimeEnoughAtLast Time Enough at Last]]" from memory.
