Mrs America

Surprised there isn't more buzz on this, IMO one of the top five television series of the past 20 years.

Everything about this production is so done so well: acting, writing, production design, wardrobe, but especially the acting. Cate Blanchett (Phyllis Schlafly), delivers a performance that might just surpass her Oscar win for Blue Jasmine. The supporting cast is just as good, which includes Margo Martindale (Bella Abzug), Rose Byrne (Gloria Steinhem), Niecy Nash (Flo Kennedy), Tracey Ullman (Betty Friedan), Uzo Aduba (Shirley Chisholm), to name a few.

Just excellent.

3. Agree!

It was good. Cate Blanchett does some incredibly nuanced acting as Schlafly, and I thought the series brilliantly highlighted the complexities and conflicts of the women's movement, both between the different camps as well as within. It was really a celebration of womanhood in all its wonderful, messy facets.
