What happens when sex and life become two separate entities? Well, it's a feeling mother-of-two Billie Connelly, played by Sarah Shahi, is more than familiar with in Netflix's latest comedy series 'Sex/Life'. She may be married to 'Mr Perfect' Cooper (Mike Vogel), but their sex life is anything but. This leads to her fantasizing about her passionate ex-boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos). But will fantasizing lead her to put her reality in jeopardy?
'Sex/ Life' which deals with the pressures of maintaining a romance while struggling with parenthood and demanding careers, will be an interesting watch for those who have enjoyed other shows which deal with the transformations mothers have to make, such as 'The Letdown', 'Workin Moms' and 'Good Girls'.

Plot
"SEX/LIFE is the story of a love triangle between a woman, her husband, and her past that takes a provocative new look at female identity and desire. Billie Connelly (Sarah Shahi) wasn’t always a stay-at-home wife and mother living in the suburbs. Before she married loving and reliable Cooper (Mike Vogel) and moved to Connecticut, Billie was a free-spirited wild child living in New York City with her best friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), working hard and playing even harder. Exhausted from taking care of her two young kids and feeling nostalgic for her past, Billie starts journaling and fantasizing about her passionate exploits with sexy ex-boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos), the big heartbreak she never got over. But the more Billie remembers, the more she wonders how she got here — and then her husband finds her journal. Will the truth about Billie’s past start a sexual revolution in her marriage, or lead her down a path back to the life she thought she left behind with the man who broke her heart?"

Trailer
Definitely NSFW, the spicy trailer will make 'Bridgerton' pale in comparison. The trailer of 'Sex/Life' shows that while Billie pines for her ex, maybe what she is really pining for is the free spirit she used to be before life, marriage and kids took over. But will she reclaim herself with her husband by her side or with her ex Brad?
