Over six years, it's received winning three Golden Globe Awards, five Screen Actor's Guild Awards, six Critics Choice Awards and seven Primetime Emmy's.

It also made household names out of the likes of Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein whilst established stars like Jane Lynch, Sterling K. Brown, Wanda Sykes and Academy Award nominated actress Stephanie Hsu were cast in significant roles.

Despite much success, in 2022 Amazon Prime announced that the show would not be renewed past the fifth season.

Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino previously told TVLine: "We don't want to overstay our welcome. Midge has a journey she has to take.

"We know emotionally where we want to end her and at what point we want to cut it off."

And as the last-ever episode was dropped on the streaming service, devoted fans took to social media as they paid tribute to the beloved series.

One fan exclaimed: "I just finished it and I cry because I too was happy and proud of Midge and seeing Lenny one last time was amazing thank you so much for this amazing show I’ll going to miss it terribly !!!"

A second fumed: "There is absolutely no reason to end this show. I rebuke this cancellation."

Whilst a third concurred: "Wow. What a great ending. This show should not have been canceled. It deserves more. It's just that good."

"I have just finished watching the final episode, and I'm now very upset. This show has been brilliant! It's up there with the all time TV greats. I'm gutted that there will be no more. I'll watch it all again but not for a while. I need to process my grief," tweeted a third.

Meanwhile, a fifth fan noted: "Im not ready for this kind of emotional damage."

More fans took to Twitter as they openly admitted that the finale episode had them in tears of joy, satisfaction and also sadness that the show is coming to an end.

One wrote: "Mrs Maisel finale has me finally understanding how avengers endgame was supposed to make me feel. sitting in my sofa and cheering and clapping and crying."
