Sex/Life

Sex/Life has built a devoted audience in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix among viewers who want their drama to earn its emotional beats. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Sarah Shahi — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Sex/Life arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Sex/Life trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. A woman's daring sexual past collides with her married-with-kids present when the bad-boy ex she can't stop fantasizing about crashes back into her life. Sarah Shahi and Mike Vogel lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. The series ran for 2 seasons (2021–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What elevates Sex/Life is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Sex/Life. The tonal similarities to Little Birds are real, though Sex/Life carves out its own identity quickly. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Sarah Shahi anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.

Sex/Life was cancelled in 2023, created by Stacy Rukeyser — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
