One of my favorite shows so far. Rhonda Brown portrays Molly Ivins, who Americans may know for her acerbic wit, fearless journalism and relentless skewering of politicians, particularly Republicans. She was an unashamed liberal in increasingly right-wing Texas, but worked for many news organizations. One of her funniest bits was about her obituary for Elvis Presley and covering his funeral in Memphis, falling in with a convivial biker convention, that got her fired from the New York Times. It’s worth looking at her biography, particularly the quotations from her work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Ivins
