Sex/Life

All of that angst for it to end like that? Honestly...

Its all about one house wifes identity crisis combined with some sex scenes…

This show is probably made for the same target audience as 50 Shades. It has attractive people, a lot of sex, some thoughts about monogamy, marriage, and suburban life. Much like in 50 Shades, the sex scenes, however steamy or well-placed, seem unnecessary and boring after a while (I remember in 50, the author just started to write things like "And they had sex." because she, too, were probably fed up with writing all the sighs down.) The chemistry is actually strong between the two leads (as in 'Billie' and 'Brad'), I just found out they are dating in real life, so that is why. Good for them. In any case, if you don't take this show seriously, it's not a bad watch. If you do, well, there might be problems, especially with the ending, but there will be a second season, so we'll see...

It is something I am going to watch again? certainly no. It was entertaining, despite conflicting writing for the characters. Ending was anti climactic despite very well paced episodes.

A great litmus test regardless of its quality as a TV show. Nobody would bat an eye if the lead was a man who wanted to find himself and divorced his wife but switch the gender and watch people freak out lol. Fuck your hypocrisy.

Interestingly enough, as much as I thought the show was going to be all about SEX, after they wrapped it all up with the second season, that's not its main topic. The first season was a rather 50 shades-type of fantasy, and it took a turn (or well, they elaborated and emphasized other aspects further) for the second season to tell about loss, marital problems, mid-life crisis, addiction, and to be a - in some ways - surprisingly candid and more or less realistic approach to people in their late 30s.
Most of the second season was honestly quite depressing. I don't want to see more into this series than what it is, but it was more profound than I anticipated it to be. I didn't think they would manage to wrap it all up, especially nicely, but they did, and I'm happy with how they left things.
What I didn't like at all is Sasha's painfully long and very extremistly parodistic/stupid "independent woman/extreme feminist" arc. As a (I'd say normal) feminist myself, to me, it felt as if someone dumb and clueless would try to come up with a feminist manifesto without actually talking to any woman in the world. I am aware that there might be people who would act like Sasha and her followers did, but the arc and the interviews with her as an author and empowered woman were a disgrace to feminism and empowered women. They could have at least resolved it earlier. Anyway, boyyyy, how Sasha and Kam look good together!
All in all, I liked Sex/Life for multiple reasons, and even though it started our as a regular 50 shades for mid-life crisis, it became a bit more. [spoiler] By the second season, I found myself caring about the characters, and rooting for Billie + Brad, and Sasha + Kam. I liked Majid too though. [/spoiler]

After not really being a fan of the first season, I was disappointed to see that a second season got announced. The show is a pretty clumsy plot that ultimately feels like a more sexual Hallmark movie. There is an audience out there for it, but for the most part it is really skippable.

Average Season Review: 6/10

Recommendation: Skip (For 50 Shades Fans)

1-3 ❤ = Thanks for the effort but no.
4-6 ❤ = Good. You may or may not enjoy this.
7-8 ❤ = Not my favorite but I recommend.
9-10 ❤ = Definitely well crafted!

Not my favorite but I do get the concept of the story. I'm glad though that they're going to create season 2 for this maybe that'll bring justice to the story.

It's not that great. I watched it only because I was a huge Sarah Shahi fan after Person of Interest. She was great in that show, but it's hard to tell in this show if it's her acting is bad or if it's just her character/role which makes her not so fun. She seems worse when she has interactions with her kid. I know he's just a kid, but damn such a lame kid. Couldn't find a better cast?

So...swinger party is not ok but open marriage apparently is the solution. This show is funny as hell. Same 40 years old tits are showing over and over though so it is quite boring. There should be some younger women at least!!!
