    It’s skilfully written, impeccably acted and the soundtrack is a dream. ... It feels too sprawling, and the characters too distant – it’s fun to spot the real-life icons in a sort of Feminist Avengers: Assemble, but we are never allowed to forget that this is Important History.

    Despite being careful to balance the screen time between factions, “Mrs. America” isn’t nearly as convincing, or even half as energetic, in its depiction of the Republican grassroots movement than it is in its liberal counterparts. The series may be fascinated by Schlafly and her various arms of power, but it never quite proves that it understands them.

    Never having been a fan of Phyllis Schlafly I was naturally curious about the story behind the person. I'm not sure that happened. What I gotNever having been a fan of Phyllis Schlafly I was naturally curious about the story behind the person. I'm not sure that happened. What I got was cardboard stereotypes and hardly learned a thing. This is simply the writers' and producer's view of extreme liberal and conservative ERA positions. Ok, so both positions hated each other, but the way it was done it was not interesting. Some more nuance please.… Full Review »
