TASTEFUL TITILLATION
MINX Paramount+, from Wednesday, September 14
■ OPHELIA Lovibond and Jake Johnson bare their souls in an empowering ten-part comedy set in 1970s Los Angeles, created and written by Ellen Rapoport.
FOR as long as she can remember, Joyce Prigger (Lovibond) has dreamt of editing a feminist magazine filled with inspiring articles that champion the female gaze.
UNFORTUNATELY, the only publisher remotely interested in her vision is Doug Renetti (Johnson), whose shrewdly named publishing house Bottom Dollar prints porn magazines aimed at straight men.
JOYCE and Doug agree a compromise: a magazine named Minx with feminist articles and a naked male centrefold to appeal to base desires.
WORKING closely with gay photographer Richie (Oscar Montoya) and executive assistant Tina (Idara Victor), Joyce searches for male models to shed their clothes in a tasteful yet titillating fashion.
