The beginning premise was interesting, then they did not know where to go. Many folks here wrote the same so I will just add some comments I did not see... 1) With so many Beatles songs available, why repeat Back in the USSR? 2) Did they have to kill John Lennon again? 3) A movie about Beatles music should not have other horrible music intertwined in the movie ... a waste of time which could have been used for other Beatle songs 4) Why did the dad go back to get a tuna sandwich and why did we have to watch that? 5) Today: All my troubles seem to stay again

I read many reviews with folks criticizing the level of comedy of this show... And I can agree that it is not the type of humor that will have you holding your belly and laughing on the floor ... It is a "comedy" in that it is DESCRIPTIVE of life in the late 1950s, Jewish New York, and a woman trying to make it through the sexism in the comedic circles she has to travel through. The depiction/costumes/music of the era is great... Maisel's acting is superb and a great cast around her... Good interesting story lines ... And the situations are funny even thought there are no amazing lines to quote afterwards ... Also pay attention to the closing credits music: great 80's songs which fit the ending like a hand in glove (Smith's reference)
