Minx

Great show, the characters are excellent. The 4 main players are outstanding and Joyces sister steals every scene she is in, The production values are stellar and THE VIBE is right on point. You really do feel the 70s coming straight for you.

They found lightning in a bottle with this show. I had forgotten how important the ERA and NOW was something that was worth fighting over.

There was a lot to fight for in the 60s and 70s and I think young people today might get an idea, (from this show), that their forebears really did do them solid favors fighting that fight.

Get over the shock value of the full frontal. The show is fun and quirky. First in a while to make me laugh out loud. Also has a message without being heavy handed and taking itself too serious. I also like the camp factor. Great acting and writing.

Great first two episodes, but have some advice for the writer.... get someone who was alive in the 1970's that can help with the proper vernacular spoken back then. We did not use "right now" at the end of sentences, such as "are you kidding me right now?" with the emphasis on the "right now?" Do some fact checking because the show is great.

Remember Hacks? When it premiered on HBOMAX? Of course you don't. You ignored it. Until it swept wins in all the major Emmy categories. Then everyone was like, "huh, guess I'll have to check it out." Well, Minx is the next Hacks and probably a better show, at least so far. Two episodes in and it's the best thing on TV currently. 1971, Los Angeles- a young feminist looking to start a pro-feminist magazine teams up with a low rent pornographer to create Minx, a magazine for women that lures them in with nude men. This show is utterly fantastic and Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson are perfect in their roles. If your not watching you're missing out. 5/5 stars.

Update: Just finished Season One. I was right. It is the best show in TV right now. The characters are perfect, the story is engaging and the costumes are...*chefs kiss* If you haven't watched it yet, do it and then demand a second season.

Of course you need to evaluate a show primarily on its entertainment value, not its message - something I fear is being lost in today's society with today's award requirements - but Minx is successful in both metrics, without being offensive to any parties that may begin to harbor resentments - I highly recommend this but be forwarned of the plethora of wangs dings and weeks haha nah but ya for real.. Enjoy!
