Recommendations please - LOVED Julia, Nolly and Funny Woman - Looking for something in a similar vein: 20C period drama with feisty woman lead and a light tough

[Changingggggggggggg]

Just that really ... going through a tough time grieving and have discovered that these are the kind of programmes that can distract me and enable me to get some sleep.

Any recommendations? Really helps that it is well made as well as the life stories of sassy women.... My normal viewing is much wider but I've lost my bandwidth at the moment.

Marvelous Mrs.Maisel might fit the bill - brilliant costumes, that light touch, about a young, Jewish, Upper East Side mother trying to make it as a stand up in late1950's/60's. 4 seasons on Amazon Prime and a fifth and final one due next month. It took me a few episodes to get into it but then I was hooked!

The BBC made a film about Hattie Jacques (of Carry On fame) called Hattie about 10 years ago with Ruth Jones, Robert Bathurst ( as John Le Mesurier her husband) and Aidan Turner (her lodger/younger lover)that was good. Not sure where you can view it.

Have you seen ted lasso? Feisty woman in that but it's lovely & warm whilst funny too.. or gameface? That's v funny! I'm sorry for your loss & that you're having a tough time xx

I came here to recommend Marvelous Mrs Maisel, it's fantastic! Whip smart and beautiful costume and sets!

I adore Marvellous Mrs Maisel - one of my all time favs - delighted they are making a fifth series!! And loved Hattie....

Thank you for your kind words.. its tough, but this helps....

Going to try Ted Lasso....thank you!!!!
