Minx, an addictive series about the creation of the first women’s erotic magazine in the ’70s.Oh, sure, it’s a ridiculously fun watch with an ace ensemble (led by New Girl‘s Jake Johnson and Guardians Of The Galaxy‘s Ophelia Lovibond) and a thoughtful examination of gender politics at a time of sexual liberation.But also: It’s got a lot of d*cks.
A lot.Loosely based off the story behind male “nudie mags” like Playgirl and Viva, the first season (which aired on HBO Max before the show was canceled then revived by Starz) showed us how a couple of dreamers got the erotic mag, Minx, off the ground, letting us know right away that this show would not be holding back.
How could you make a show about a magazine of naked men without showing naked men?The pilot alone featured a full-on penis montage, and also put the gorgeous future Red, White & Royal Blue star Taylor Zakhar Perez—all of him *wink*—on our radar.
We were sold.Season two returns this weekend, following the upward trajectory of Minx, and already we’ve got a contender for the show’s breakout new hottie.
