My latest obsession is ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ on Amazon Prime Video, and the magnificence that is Rachel Brosnahan as the title character is what propels this show into greatness. From her very first brisket, she has been inspiring me on days when I feel down, and, even better, on days when I don’t feel particularly anything, especially like getting up. Credit Brosnahan’s deft portrayal of all Mrs. Maisel’s faults and foibles and fabulousness laid out in all their emotional complexity, and she niftily earns this Dazzler of the Day honor. The indefatigable and indomitable spirit, the sheer force of her life-energy, and all those exquisite outfits to lift the most downtrodden, have collectively raised my outlook on this otherwise-bleak world. Todah rabah rabah!!!
