As their magazine becomes a commercial success, it brings more money, fame, and temptations into their lives.
The official logline of Minx season 2 reads:
“After Doug and Joyce sell Bottom Dollar to a retired shipping magnate with unlimited money and power, Minx becomes a commercial success, bringing more money, more fame, and more temptations. Under new leadership, Doug struggles to find his footing and maintain his control within Bottom Dollar."
It further adds:
"Meanwhile, Joyce begins to lose sight of her core beliefs as she gets caught up in her rise to stardom. As our Bottom Dollar misfits go mainstream, they start to question who they’re becoming and what they really want from this newfound success.”
The show is set in 1970s Los Angeles and follows the partnership between Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond), a feminist, and Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson), a p*rnography publisher. In season 1, they launch Minx, the first erotic magazine for women, facing opposition from politicians, censorship advocates, and even the mafia.
