Sex/Life

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!

It's not that bad at the beginning. I knew it's a super cheesy show after watching for 5 mins, but its nice shots and lights made it at least watchable. I had been consistently annoyed by the main female character, but I thought she was just some typical stupid and innocent woman who will eventually figure out whom she really wants. But OMG, the ending is more than just terrible. 8 hours in my life has been completely wasted. I bet the main character will be hated for playing this stupid show.

Shout out to all the straight women who clearly wrote reviews slamming it as it is clear if their spouse had doubts or was thinking about an ex they think the spouse would even tell them about it.... This show isn't bad and it's not the worst either. I've watched the whole season and it holds ones attention. It's not about sex but there are some scenes of it. Wake up those who want to complain about the show and stop replying in reviews about your own lives. Watch this show for what it is: a woman now a mother of two and reflecting back on the biggest relationship before her marriage. It's about choices, relationships, ups and downs, passion, friction in all sense of the word, and losing oneself in the dream (past and present). It could be better in places but you can't find a specific place where the scene should have been changed, edited differently, used other dialogue etc. Just watch it in full and don't stamp your life blinders across it. Watch it for what it is: a story about people.

I have a thing about train crash romantic stories and particularly like New York ones where I can see places I have been, and I love the ending.

There are so many points where you think "Don't do that" you can see it is going to be a disastrously bad thing but people do that in real life too.

I really liked it although the life portrayed couldn't possibly belong to more than 10 people and like Sex in the City I love looking at the scenery and the clothes never mind the relationships and the fun.

Worth the watch, although I told my son more for woman than men, just like Sex in the City. The complexities of relationships and their issues are for me. If it tells you anything about what I like I adore Moonstruck my favourite movie, The Secret Life of Us an Australian series making a comeback, and I am from New Zealand nearly the only place in the world where this could be happening for real.

If you have a toxic ex that you can't stop thinking about then don't watch this. You'll inevitably start craving them.
