MRS. AMERICA
May 13, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
With each episode focusing primarily on a different key player in the quest to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s, today’s Episode 7 brings Bella Abzug front and center. And that allows this FX production, presented as the first “FX on Hulu” exclusive, to give another meaty role to FX’s all-star utility player, Margo Martindale. First she was a backwoods power broker, matriarch and moonshine poisoner in FX’s Justified, then an often ruthless Russian handler of deep-cover spies on FX’s The Americans. Add to that her recurring roles on CBS’s The Good Wife and CBS Access’ The Good Fight, both playing the same character, and she’s done amazing work in one quality series after another. And in Mrs. America, credit her with another quality TV home run: as outspoken U.S. Representative Abzug, she’s the Bella the ball.
