However, the new season of the Emmy award-winning comedy series, which stars Rachel Brosnahan as 1950s housewife turned stand-up performer taking the New York comedy scene by storm, had something of a mixed reaction from fans after they realised that the show has undergone a major format shake-up.

Another disgruntled viewer said: "Whoever at @PrimeVideo that made the decision to upload the new episodes of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel weekly instead of uploading the entire season at once made a horrible decision. I had a three day weekend and planned to binge it only to find out there is only two episodes."

A fourth added: "I don't appreciate the way The Marvelous Mrs Maisel made me wait this long and now wants me to wait from week to week."
However, not all fans felt the same, and in fact, some were actually glad the release strategy had changed. As one wrote: "I think it works much better; it's too stylized for a binge and it loses some of its charm."

Someone else agreed, writing: "I also like abandoning the binge model. Weekly releases keep the momentum and conversation going. I tend to retain and enjoy the shows more that way."
