Having caused a sensation with steamy and explicit sex on “Bridgerton,” Netflix dips into that genre again — minus the costumes — in “Sex/Life.” Sarah Shahi stars as a wife and mother in the throes of a not-quite-midlife crisis, pining for all the wild sex she used to have. Alas, thanks to the overwrought Harlequin Romance trappings, there’s a lot more guilt here than pleasure.Sex/Life Season 1 Download.Inspired by the book “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by BB Easton, the eight-episode series features Shahi (last seen on “Person of Interest”) as Billie Connelly, seemingly living a life of suburban bliss with her two young children and Adonis-like husband, Cooper (Mike Vogel), a budding Master of the Universe (in author Tom Wolfe’s literary coinage) whose career has taken precedence over her own.Sex/Life Season 1-2 Download
Appearances aside, Cooper has become a person of little interest (a mini-Cooper, if you will) in their marital bed, prompting Billie to begin reminiscing and fantasizing about her carefree, club-hopping youth as a single gal in Manhattan with friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), who’s still living that life while reminding Billie how good she has it.Billie, however, is less convinced, thinking a lot about former boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos), an Australian sex god/record executive with whom she enjoyed soul-shattering, spine-tingling, gauzy-montage-worthy encounters, even writing a journal detailing their trysts that her husband, naturally, finds.Nor does Brad remain strictly a figment of Billie’s past, coming back into her orbit in an unexpected way that tests her repeated insistence about how happy she is and what a wonderful life she and Cooper have built together.
