‘Sex/ Life’ is pretty awful, and not in the ‘so bad that it’s good’ way

Embarrassingly bad acting, a wafer-thin storyline and toe-curling writing clutter the trending Netflix show, and even the famed sex scenes do not really work

There are different kinds of comfort watches. You could channel your standard-issue ‘90s blockbuster sans Jeff Goldblum (sigh) into The Tomorrow War, or you could have some zombie fun with a Snyder-style extended music video with Army of the Dead... or you even could watch beautiful people swap spit and other body fluids over eight episodes of Sex/Life. . Sex/Life is pretty awful, and not in the “so bad it is good” kind of awful. It is just truly terrible, with embarrassingly bad acting, a wafer-thin storyline and toe-curling writing. Okay, even if you are not looking at Sex/Life to better your mind, the sex scenes do not really work. They are vaguely monotonous and while Billie’s (Sarah Shahi) moans would surely wake up the dead, they do not generate much heat.
