It's quite another to make them at the expense of a very pow- erful person who can crush your career, as neophyte stand-up comic Midge Maisel finds out at the outset of Season 2 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" this week. Dropping Wednesday, Dec. 5, on Amazon, the new season finds '50s Upper West Side house- wife-turned-funnywoman Midge (Golden Globe and Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan) coming to the gradual realization that she's ticked off the wrong person, Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch, who earned an Emmy nod for the role), following her public take - down of the comedy icon at the end of Season 1. This is a development not lost on her worried manag - er/sidekick Susie (Emmy winner Alex Borstein). As the grind of doing stand-up wears on Midge, the pressure to tell her par- ents Abe and Rose (Tony Shalhoub, Marin Hinkle) about her new life in the wake of her separation from husband Joel (Mi- chael Zegen) mounts and her decisions have a ripple effect on all concerned. "You'll see some of the ramifications of those choices that are made," Borstein offers. "The show really is this woman Midge Maisel knocking down dominoes constantly and you watch it spread like wildfire and you see the ramifications and that's one of them. That's one domino she knocked down that we have to then deal with. And how can we deal with it?" "Susie, I think is terribly concerned because she knows what it means," adds Brosnahan of the potential war brewing with Sophie. "Midge, being so new to this world and that particular brand of ene- my, doesn't yet know by the time we leave her in Season 1 what that could mean. And certainly she will learn more about that in Season 2." A powerful enemy looms for Midge in Season 2 of 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' 1407 N.
