Review of Phyllis

Mrs. America: Phyllis (2020)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Good performance by Blanchett
16 April 2020
This is the show I was waiting on, and this episode. Phyllis Schlafly was a woman with a strong voice and refuse to back down and they did get that right. From what I understand, she was grass roots campaigner and she was personable with her supporters, they do show that. I was little confused about how they portrayed her marriage, one minute her husband is respecting her, even smirking at a guy who made a quip at her and his look was funny and the next she's tired and he doesn't respect that. Good performance but as usual I have to be skeptical of the writing since Schlafly is not alive to give her full accounts and knowing her daughter has spoken out against this show. Nevertheless, I can't wait to see the rest with Blanchett.
