MORE COLUMNS
That was a surprisingly bad article. It circled around all of the crucial issues without ever hitting directly into them. It assumed a whole (morally charged) narrative about the 60s and the sexual revolution without really offering any justification for it, and the review is utterly dependent on that narrative. Further, the reviewer never seems fully convinced of the importance of this particular show, which makes the length of the review seem unwarranted.
