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

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

It should also be noted that Minx is almost certainly the most penis-friendly show in television history, though HBO's teen-boinkfest Euphoria is providing some stiff (heh heh) competition. Read full review

The first five episodes of the pleasantly low-key “Minx” don’t reach the heights the Jean Smart-led comedy did last year, but its animating idea of a newcomer to the media industry pushing, and being pushed by, a veteran with a set idea of what is possible is familiar. It works. So, too, does the world “Minx” builds. Read full review

Minx is a fun examination of not only evolving sexual politics but the myriad emotions behind them. Read full review

The series offers genuine insight into the subjects Joyce cares about, but wrapped around them is an exceedingly charming workplace comedy. [Mar 2022, p.75] Read full review

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

This is a fun show. It moves very quickly, the characters are pleasant company, the actors are fun to watch, it looks great, I laugh a lot, and the soundtrack is very well selected, too.

So far, the show seems to take a pretty superficial approach to its politics, and never lets that get in the way of its feelgood nature, but whatever, it is pretty sweet and a blast to watch, and I am down for it.… Expand

Highly entertaining, funny and light-hearted. Minx raises very timely and relevant issues, and treats them seriously without ever losing its comedic elements.

I wanted to like Minx so much more than I did. It's like if Chuck Lorre wrote Boogie Nights. Better analogy, it's a shadow of Hacks with '70s porn instead of stand up comedy. Wide-eyed idealistic newcomer gets shown the ropes by somewhat crude but wise mentor/partner. And the writing andI wanted to like Minx so much more than I did. It's like if Chuck Lorre wrote Boogie Nights. Better analogy, it's a shadow of Hacks with '70s porn instead of stand up comedy. Wide-eyed idealistic newcomer gets shown the ropes by somewhat crude but wise mentor/partner. And the writing and comedy has the subtlety of a rock hard throbbing brick. The lead characters last name is PRIGger, for God's sake, so of course she's sexually repressed. Masturbation? Oh my, we don't talk about such things..until the scene moments later of her plugging in, in more ways than one. She breaks up with her boyfriend seconds after we meet them over the it's me or my dreams argument. We meet, he's a sexist dolt, he leaves. The porn magazine work family includes the ditsy blond who gets a bit enlightened, the gay photographer, the black secretary who's probably the smartest one in the room, and the publisher, the porn guy with a heart of gold and a mind for business. The big advertiser they go after is also a giant perv. The seventies details and look are spot on. The performances are all good. It's just so on-the-nose, I feel like watching a show that knowingly checks ALL the boxes and the cliches.… Expand

"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.
