Season 1 Review: On its cover, “Minx” is salacious and flirty, a confection of sex and fun. Inside, though, it’s a multi-layered joy, the kind of comedy that reveals a few more intricacies and a little more humanity with each subsequent perusal. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What we’ve seen of “Minx” is downright addictive, from its groovy period-appropriate costumes to the careful balance of sleaze and satire. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A bouncy, feel-good show that taps into the elation of creating something new where there was nothing before. ... As Joyce, Lovibond nails a tricky part, taking a woman who can be frustrating as hell and making her endearing, not only to the audience but also, crucially, to the characters around her.

Season 1 Review: Minx benefits from getting to the good stuff from the get-go; by the midway point of its premiere, it’s already knee-deep in Joyce and Doug’s collaboration, and that swiftness is characteristic of its confidence, not to mention its disinterest in sermonizing. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Season 2 can feel disjointed and compressed, as if some connective material was cut to get it to eight episodes (the first ran for 10). But it finishes strong. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I mostly enjoyed the show. True to its title, Minx at its best is a sexy trifle, and the palpable chemistry between its leads counteracts the uptown girl/downtown boy cliché. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For all its sex-positive posturing, the sum of Minx’s parts is surprisingly free of nuance. Read full review

Good writing, great acting with the only ideology belonging to characters within a realistic feeling world. A nice reminder of how good feminism was before post-modern feminist intersectionality turned it into the sexist / racist garbage of today.

Highly recommend.

It's consistently funny, well cast and gorgeously shot. The costumes, to the extent that characters actually wear anything, are spot on. It's even got plenty to say even if the stakes are low.

Minx is a witty and forward thinking show. I have loved the dynamic of pretty much every character so far, specifically Bambi and Joyce's sister, Shelly. I cant wait to see how this continues to unfold, and I think they are really on to something here as long as the story continues to buildMinx is a witty and forward thinking show.

"Minx" is a fluffy, harmless, and surprisingly prude dramedy that keeps you entertained just enough. It's fine, but I won't watch any more seasons of this.

OMG this is rubbish. Softcore porn disguised as progressive entertainment. Demeans the cast, the producers and viewers. Simply sad.

"Minx" (S01, 10 eps, 30-mins, HBOmax) features a cast of unknowns set in the '70s (fun soundtrack) with "Joyce" attempting to bring a women-empowering magazine to life and finds her path leads to hardcore women's porn, we're talking full-on male nudity, so think NC-17. And um, no.
