In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel’s life is on track– husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment. But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she’s good at – and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her.

After Midge's triumph at the Gaslight, the fallout from her takedown of Sophie Lennon looms large, making her climb up the comedy ladder more challenging than ever. As the actual grind of being a comic begins to take its toll on Midge, the pressure to come clean to her family weighs on her - especially as her choices have a ripple effect on everyone around her.

The story takes place in a universe where most of the superpowered individuals are recognized as superheroes, but in reality abuse their powers for personal gain, information the public is kept unaware of.

Midge and Susie discover that life on tour with Shy is glamorous but humbling, and they learn a lesson about show business they’ll never forget. Joel struggles to support Midge while pursuing his own dreams. Abe embraces a new mission and Rose learns she has talents of her own.

一段不寻常的友谊，一位失而复现的旧爱，一桩处在转折点上的婚姻，一场可能不是约会的约会，一个不因循守旧的新家庭——八篇纽约小品，九段“摩登情爱”，演绎当代生活中爱之纷繁复杂，将个中滋味向我们娓娓道来。
剧集改编自《纽约时报》同名专栏“摩登情爱”，“探索当代人复杂的感情生活，以及爱的痛苦与欢愉。”
