for the period porn comedy, the show became a casualty of upheaval at its parent company. Scrambling to pay down debt from the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., CEO David Zaslav took a series of drastic steps that alienated creatives and consumers alike.
Joyce and Doug ended last season on the outs as business partners, even though the fusion of her feminist intellect with his sensational instincts gave the magazine its ethos as the thinking woman’s erotica. Unsurprisingly, they patch things up pretty quickly in Season 2, but they’re soon joined by a third collaborator: Constance Papadopoulos , the eccentric widow of a Greek shipping magnate.
With both an audience and financial backing finally in place, Minx and “Minx” alike are free to let their shag-cut hair down and enjoy themselves. Flush with success, the magazine’s staff become Forrest Gumps of the ‘70s counterculture.
As Joyce takes to the spotlight and Doug questions his role in a company now run by women — in one amusing side quest, the publisher occupies himself with a new science periodical helmed by Carl Sagan — “Minx” leans on its ensemble, as comedies can do when given more time to deepen their bench. Jessica Lowe was a Season 1 standout as Bambi, a nude model turned jill-of-all-trades who gets Minx off the ground.
Such stories are the most obvious upside of “Minx” getting a new lease on life. These are characters we already liked; after an additional season spent watching their ups and downs, they’re closer to the parasocial friends that the strongest TV casts can evolve into over the course of a show. For now, though, it’s mostly ups. What obstacles there are remain in the distance until the closing stretch, to set up a potential Season 3. Before that bill comes due, “Minx” is here to have fun.
