Minx S1-2
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx follows Joyce, an earnest young feminist (Ophelia Lovibond from Feel Good and Elementary) who joins forces with low-rent publisher Doug (Critics’ Choice nominee Jake Johnson from New Girl) to create the first erotic magazine for women.
Season 2 picks up as Doug and Joyce sell Bottom Dollar to a retired shipping magnate and Minx becomes a commercial success. Under new leadership, Doug struggles to maintain his control within Bottom Dollar while Joyce loses sight of her core beliefs as she rises to stardom. As our Bottom Dollar misfits go mainstream, they start to question who they’re becoming and what they really want from this newfound success.
With five-time Emmy nominee Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Office, Love Life) among its exec producers, Season 1 was nominated for Best Comedy and Best Actress in a Comedy (for Lovibond) at the 2023 Satellite Awards. It has a 97% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says, “The rapport between Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson is the irresistible centrefold of Minx, a bawdy and sharp comedy that merits a full-page spread.”
Look out for Elizabeth Perkins from Weeds and Sharp Objects joining the cast this season.
