Minxhas an unfortunate protagonist problem.

Article image

The trouble is that Joyce is a real drag.

In fairness, Joyce issupposedto be a drag.

Just a little bit!

Just at the beginning.

That element is important, because nearly every other aspect ofMinxis solidly enjoyable.

Italso has a stellar supporting cast.

Best of all is Joyces sister Shelly.

And yet in spite ofMinxs 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.

On TV, it becomes tiresome very quickly.

Surely she learned this lesson already?

Surely shes not still worried that her magazine will seemtoo fun?

We should all cross our fingers thatMinxpulls it together.

Its what Lennon Parham and Jake Johnson(s leather pants) deserve.
