Mrs. America (2020 Creator Dhavi Waller)

Intelligent look at the Women's Equality Act movement from 1971 and the middle class housewives who objected to it, on grounds like they didn't want to go and fight in Vietnam, intelligently argued. Kate Blanchett leads the anti movement, supported by Sarah Paulson and husband John Slattery. Against are Ms. editor Rose Byrne and a group of feminists including Uzio Aduba, Tracey Ullman, Margo Martindale, Elizabeth Banks. 

Created and co-written by Dhavi Waller, made for FX. Directors are Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson, It's Kind of a Funny Story), Amma Asante, Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre and Janicza Bravo.

The smile of a shark

But.. just not enough to engage us further than four episodes. Sorry...
