Almost every single second of this first episode is Cate Blanchett, and if you didn't already know it (and if you didn't, atsa matta wid-U?), she's a fantastic actress. Schlafly is clearly going to be portrayed in this as a multi-layered, morally complex and ethically conflicted character, and who's to say she wasn't? I suspect it took all this time to get this fictionalized account made because, had it been attempted while she was alive, as a trained attorney, she would have fought it in the courts in perpetuity.
