Everyone who works in media loves TV shows and films about media. While I don’t work at a porn magazine, there’s still a voyeuristic charm in watching elements of my day-to-day brought to life in Nixon-era Technicolor. Set in 1970s Southern California, Minx, on Starz, follows Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond), an inexperienced but ardent second-wave feminist who finds herself at the helm of an erotic magazine for women. Her foil, and business partner, is porn publisher Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson). The show’s soft-core title isn’t based on a real magazine from that era but is inspired by Viva and Playgirl. Don’t be distracted by the many—many—male parts; creator Ellen Rapoport and executive producer Paul Feig have something incisive to say about gender politics, sexuality, and emancipation. —Bridget Arsenault
