A group of 8 people, seemingly not connected, believe that they are descendants of the Russian royal family. This truly remarkable series premiered last month and gives one a Sense8 type feeling with its disjointed yet compelling storylines.

When Heidi Bergman, a former caseworker, is approached by an auditor about her past life as a transition counselor, she is forced to reconcile her memories with what really happened there.

 The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Type: Comedy, Drama
Release Date: 2017-Present
Starring: Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen

I know I’m not the only one who is chomping at the bit for this witty fast-talking 1950s dramedy to come back for its sophomore season. Get in my eyeballs, already! This world is one in which showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino’s characters were born to live. Trust me, this one’s 100 percent worth it.
