Minx

....and I must say I like it. I like the period setting, there is good acting, it's lighthearted fun, good writing and the casting is perfect. It has an obvious message but at the same time the message isn't overly in your face like a lot of other shows do.

It's definitely worth a watch. It got me hooked for sure.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised when a friend texted me about this series. It's set in the 70s, but the issues and arguments are still very timely today. The writing is clever and the cast looks like they are having a fun time. If you are into himbos then this show without a doubt will be a turn on. Interesting that HBO Max picked this up rather than Netflix. Most of the cast have serious resumes in TV work and some film work and proves the point that you don't need an A list star to make a series work. The fashion and sets are spot on for the 70's so now I know where Gucci gets their design ideas from.

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.

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.
