When acclaimed talk show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson<\/strong>) is accused of hating women, given that her entire writing staff is full of white men, she instructs her producer, Brad, to hire a female writer. Enter bright-eyed wannabe comedy writer Molly (Mindy Kaling<\/a><\/strong>), who has no experience in writing but has the right genitalia, so the show hires her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “So, I was watching ‘Game Of Thrones’ with my girlfriend and she goes “Oh, it’s so unfair: only the women are getting naked.” So I whipped out my nuts and she’s like “oh my god, nuts!”<\/em> – Daniel<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n After a few bumpy starts, Molly begins to supply Katherine with the right material to endear her to her audience and to draw in new viewers. This is a much-needed boost for Katherine’s show, given that the network’s President plans to replace her with a younger male comedian due to a decade of low ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this is marketed as a comedy, and it is, it’s also much more than that. Among the zingers and exquisite one-liners is a smart, pointed look at how women are held to different, often higher, standards in the workplace and in the media in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
