COMEDY PICK OF THE WEEK

MINX

PARAMOUNT+ SITCOM

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx is a terrific, X-rated comedy drama about Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond), an idealistic young feminist who has to accept the financial backing of porn baron Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson, above centre with Lovibond) in order to publish her women’s lib magazine. Renetti’s only stipulation is that Joyce’s mag includes full-frontal male centrefolds. Inspired by real 1970s magazines such as Playgirl, the ten-episode series is a showcase for Londoner Lovibond’s excellent comedic talents and Johnson oozes sleazy charm, but the whole cast excels too.
