Minx – Season 1 Finale (You happened to me)

The job of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters. This pilot did its job perfectly. We are introduced to Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) by a daydream she has of winning a Pulitzer Prize, giving a speech talking about how Gloria Steinem is her inspiration, only for Joyce (and us) to be brought back to reality when
