And the Winner Is...
THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL
Prime Video
Let's raise a glass to one of the most visually beautiful shows in TV history. After a season where the grandeur was clearly impacted by COVID filming restrictions, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel went out with a bang and reclaimed this category, which it won in 2020. The final season was able to "go big" again and have some stunning scenes. But it's not just the big moments, it's all of it With a candy-coated version of the late 50s and early 60s, Maisel had a very distinct visual style to match its rapid-fire dialogue. From the costumes to the sets to the hair and everything in-between, no expense was spared in creating a fictionalized version of New York City from a glamorous era. The finale also gets point in this category for a very impressive scene set in the streets of New York City with Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was an easy winner for this category but there were other impressive technical achievements in a genre that used to pale in comparison when it came to technical feats. The closest competitor was Poker Face, which had a very unique style suited to its throwback approach to storytelling. Last year's winner, Schmigadoon!, effectively advanced its musical parody era from the golden age to the 60s and 70s era of musicals. What We Do in the Shadows is very good at world building and goes all out. Ted Lasso got bigger in its third season with a very visually appealing episode in Amsterdam. Barry continued to have a very unique technical design. A League of Their Own effectively captured the 1940s and had some strong baseball scenes. Finally, Only Murders in the Building has some similarities to Maisel in that it has a very unique version of New York City it wants to show, only set in the present.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
