Sexo/Vida

Eight hours tracking and telling the story of a supposedly meaningful and life changing relationship and marriage.... however the characters seem to spend the vast majority of the scenes getting jiggy and having insane orgasms at the touch of a fingertip! Terrible plot and awful characters - especially the main character, who was just insufferable and incredibly fickle. The ending just rubbed salt into the wounds - I watched to the end, desperately hoping for the series to get better later on, but was left sorely disappointed. A self-indulgent sex fest with very little substance. So disappointed!

Sexually frustrated wife decided to cheat on her husband. Hmmm, where have I seen this? Oh yes, in porn movies. And I've seen porn with better plot.

I think the writer just wanted to have as many sex scene as possible in every episode. Because that's the only selling point here. The story is kind of ridiculous.

I don't get why they try to sell this as a way to empower woman. That independent woman deserve to have their desire met, even though that means they have to cheat on their partner. There are no good reason to cheat on your spouse. This series is glorifying wrong thing.

I feel sorry for the actors and actresses here because they did a good job. But the story is not that worthy. If you just want to watch sex better go watch porn. At least they are entertaining.

Sex/Life isn't meant as an instruction manual for what a woman caught in Billie's dilemma should do. In multiple ways, it's an escape from reality. We know from the first episode what Billie should do if this were real life, but this isn't. They're just characters on a screen.

And my, what lovely characters they are! Unlike so many shows that think they are oh-so-steamy but cover up the actors once they finally get it on, Sex/Life isn't afraid to let us ogle at their beautiful bodies and the things they do with them. Don't be surprised if you get turned on by some of the sex scenes.

The story also sets itself apart by telling itself squarely from Billie's point of view. In the narrator role, she hides nothing from the viewer about her dilemma. By doing so, she makes herself to not just be a sexual object but a sexual subject as well.

If you still feel like judging the show, just ask yourself what your reaction would be if the genders were swapped. If it were Cooper who was bored with Billie and had a sex goddess in his past-now-present. For some people, I'd bet that their reaction would be different, which is why we need shows such as this that push the limits of what we're willing to enjoy.

I am so tired of awful, emotionally abusive men being portrayed as tortured romantics! I can excuse it a bit in teen movies but how a thirty something, trained psychologist would fall for Brad's s#@t is beyond me. Apart from what Cooper witnessed in the gym showers, there is nothing appealing about Brad's overgrown frat boy persona. To be fair though Billie is equally awful so they probably deserve each other. It's like badly written fan fiction for people who are old enough to know better.

Cheap, shallow and cringeworthy show. I gave it a chance but it managed to get worse by every minute. It bears no resemblance to reality and it definitely isn't worth the time.
