	Author	Review
United States	Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: Under a glossy, tantalizing exterior, 'Minx' actually has something worthwhile to say, using its fictional, retro magazine to make a timely, universal message"	POS
United States	Gillian Bennett Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: It's lighthearted but serious, and a joy to watch -while still reminding its viewers of the very real hurdles those of us who are not straight white men must jump over just to succeed in this world"	POS
United States	Belen Edwards Mashable	"[2nd Season Review]: Like its predecessor, Season 2 remains an entertaining examination of feminism and sexuality in the '70s"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Minx' improves on a fun first season with an even more fun and ambitious second season, with an ensemble that's clicking and meaty storylines for everyone in that ensemble"	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Minx' has not entirely resolved the issues it could never quite shake in the first season, but it's still significantly improved"	NEU
United States	Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[2nd Season Review]: What begins as a lighthearted and frothy tale of gender warfare, however, eventually devolves into a preposterous mess, thanks to its desire to imagine yesteryear through an ill-fitting contemporary lens"	NEG
United States	Carly Lane Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: the ‘70s comedy series more than proves it was worth saving"	POS
United States	Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Minx' is exploring the customs and culture of an era that is a half-century removed from our own, and yet these themes are still relevant (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
Australia	Craig Mathieson The Age	"[2nd Season Review]: The illuminating, amusing friction between Ophelia Lovibond's crusading editor and Jake Johnson's low-rent publisher remains... but it's the needs and desires of the diverse supporting cast that adds great content"	POS
United States	Alison Herman Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Minx' is here to have fun. The faux-celebrity cameos can get exhausting, but for the series regulars, it's a pleasure just to watch them thrive"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: There's a consistent lack of the rowdy chuckles that helped ['Minx']'s first season fly by. Season 2 also can't stop name-dropping semi-random historical somebodies"	NEG
United States	Kimber Myers The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: A solid comedy, full of smarts and wonderfully silly one-liners, delivered by talented people wearing great clothes in impeccable period sets"	POS
United States	Nandini Balial rogerebert.com	"[2nd Season Review]: it remains the fun, thought-provoking laugh riot audiences came to love last year"	POS
United States	Melanie McFarland Salon	"[2nd Season Review]: Watching 'Minx' is less about marveling at its period accuracy that witnessing the joy congress between well-rounded characters and a freewheeling mood"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: A racy, smart snapshot, and you just have to accept certain blemishes unretouched"	POS
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: Ordinarily, when a show gives its characters exactly what they want, it starts to flounder, but 'Minx' manages to keep it compelling, and moves lightly on its feet (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[2nd Season Review]: The ensemble is well-defined, energetic, and amusing"	POS
United States	Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[1st Season Review]: Minx is effervescently fun, full of heart and smarts (...) It’s a show that practices what it preaches, consistently prioritizing joy over pain and equality over repression"	POS
United States	Marah Eakin The Playlist	"[1st Season Review]: On its cover, 'Minx' is salacious and flirty, a confection of sex and fun. Inside, though, it’s a multi-layered joy"	POS
United States	Carly Lane Collider	"[1st Season Review]: Not only is it a delightfully raunchy comedy, but the glimmers of sincerity that are slowly teased out over the course of the season make it a series well-worth tuning in for."	POS
United States	Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"[1st Season Review]: It’s thoughtful but unapologetically filthy all at the same time, a kind of pervert’s alchemy that miraculously works."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[1st Season Review]: Its animating idea of a newcomer to the media industry pushing, and being pushed by, a veteran with a set idea of what is possible is familiar. It works. So, too, does the world 'Minx' builds"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[1st Season Review]: The series offers genuine insight into the subjects Joyce cares about, but wrapped around them is an exceedingly charming workplace comedy (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[1st Season Review]: In spite of 'Minx's many good features, it cannot quite shake its Joyce problem. Her character is intended to be flawed, and yet those flaws are drawn in frustrating, contradictory ways."	NEU
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: 'Minx's narrative juice may come from the differences between Joyce and Doug, but creator Ellen Rapoport wisely writes them as full, flawed characters rather than stereotypes or talking points"	POS
United States	Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"[1st Season Review]: 'Minx' is a fun examination of not only evolving sexual politics but the myriad emotions behind them."	POS
