Let me tell you about a pivotal moment in the Season 2 finale of Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Picture this: Midge Maisel, played brilliantly by Rachel Brosnahan, gets an offer to tour across the U.S. and Europe as an opening act for the legendary singer Shy Baldwin. Without missing a beat, Midge says yes, completely disregarding her responsibilities to her children, her family, and her new flame, Dr. Benjamin Ettenberg, portrayed by Zachary Levi. This decision isn't just a turning point; it's a seismic shift in her life that will shape the narrative of the show's upcoming third season.

According to Amy Sherman Palladino, the genius behind the series, "Midge didn't stop to think twice about the opportunity. She saw it, and she seized it." As Midge ventures deeper into this world, she'll uncover what it truly takes to pursue her dreams and the inner strength she needs to achieve them. In a time when it was exceptionally challenging for a woman to break through, Midge's journey is both inspiring and complex. Amy adds, "We always believed that Midge was happiest the night before Joel left her. Everything felt perfect. But by choosing this path, Midge opts for a life filled with excitement and ambition. She'll travel, meet fascinating people, experience highs and lows, make and lose money. This life may seem thrilling, but it might not offer the same sense of happiness, safety, and security she once had. And that's the journey she's embarking on."
