‘Mrs. America,’ FX on Hulu’s star-studded miniseries about the 1970s battle over the ERA, gives too many characters short shrift. Alan Sepinwall’s review
Most of the episodes are named for their main character, though the only one to get an hour all to herself is Schlafly, a neocon national defense expert who helped Barry Goldwater get the Republican presidential nomination in 1964. Waller’s take on this story begins in 1971, with Schlafly pondering another run for the congressional seat she lost two decades earlier.
Strong as Blanchett is, it becomes exhausting spending that much time in her presence, especially when so many of her co-stars feel shortchanged. The third episode, set at the 1972 Democratic National Convention as Chisholm struggles to hold onto whatever influence her flagging presidential campaign has left, is dynamite, and suggests Waller could have very easily written an entire parallel series about her. But then Aduba largely vanishes from this one.
