you know, I actually cannot understand why a strong woman base would like this show at all....like, I got no idea. Since when does ''strong woman base" = love for dumb middle aged woman having gross sex? I don't get the appeal at all. I'm pretty sure it has horrible ratings in real life.

the most unrealistic part of this show was that Billie was able to afford a huge apt in Manhattan as a mom going to school for her Masters with no job

[@Zerin666]

Yeah that didn’t make sense is she rich or sth 😂

[@bhargavipba]

She was doing PhD not masters. She quits PhD when she marries Cooper.

[@kelupthegnome2871]

It's simple, Cooper was paying for everything. They used his house for the kids, he funded all the utilities and necessities for the home, paid for the live in nanny, most likely was paying spousal support if not temporary child support as well, he was paying for anything the kids needed (there's no way Hudson wasn't in a private school) he paid for her grad program, and possibly had to pay (in part at least) for her apartmen. So yeah, it would be esay for her to afford her lifestyle and not have to work.

Housewife porn. Fulfilling fantasies of middle aged women. "The guy who would show how much he loves me even if it embarrasses him in front of his boss.

The show where a Psychology student, with not 1 but 2 (presumably many more) Psychologist and/or therapist friends, is having a unsatisfactory s*x life and not once in its 8 HOUR run does anyone suggest she sit down and talk with her husband and work things out. Because its not like that discipline of field of study is big on communication.

[@ButterflyScarlet]

Stop me if you've heard this exact plotline before: Writer introduces the MC and her partner who is, for all intents and purposes, a super chill loving dude whose only "crime" is being vanilla. Oh what's this? It's a Bad Boy with a loose understanding of boundaries and consent! Wow writer, what will you do to create meaningful drama here? Will you have the MC grapple with these emotions, have her discuss her feelings with her husband and let them explore different sexual experiences (maybe even a threesome/polyamory)? No? What's that? You're going to turn the partner into a one dimensional creep/abuser so the MC can have guilt-free sex with someone else? So groundbreaking.

[@joyc.e.7511]

God, the way I hate this. Why is writing communication always so hard? It's fine if the character's struggle with it, it really is. That's human. You don't have to villainize one to justify cheating, regardless of gender.

[@letguelere1102]

i felt so weird watching this movie

[@gracegervas9819]

what irritates me the most is the fact that all the romance portrayed in this show/book series revolves around sex. To them sex is Love. Billie only recalled sex with Brad...claiming it was love, then Sash...all the flashbacks with that doctor or whatever were banging n shit they did back then... nothing to scream love/romance. Yet they slept with countless men lol.. okay, maybe sexual compatibility is love and a guarantee to successful marriage huh? Me don't know.

[@inferiorinferno8859]

Precisely. Unless both are asexual, a couple's sexual compatibility is an important part because of how it's connected to a couple's chemistry and emotional needs, but it's just one of the factors in compatibility. Personality, lifestyle, etc, are also just as important as sexual compatibility. Like, just from an astrological example: Opposing zodiac signs, as the zodiacs are placed in a wheel. Like the 12 and 6 oppose each other on a clock, so goes for zodiacs. Opposing signs usually have great sexual compatibility, but there are some who are basically two sides of the same coin and make for a great couple long-term like cancer and capricorn and some who are too different from each other in their personalities & values and usually only make for good one night stands like a fling between an aquarius and a leo.

[@donnamitsuki281]

It is honestly frustrating. And it's a bit of a different subject,but as someone under the aroace spectrum it is so damn annoying. I am tired of sex and love been portrayed as the same thing when they couldn't be more different. Sure I guess for some it's natural to expect a marriage to come alongside a certain quantity and even quality of a sex life but the way this show makes things is just so... Ugh

[@kelupthegnome2871]

No, sex is not an indicator of love. Just look at hook up culture, prostitution, and people having one night stands, and you'll know what I mean. None of those situations have anything to do with love. Sex is not a forn of intimacy either. It can, however, be an act born of intimacy. Your emotions and mindset can influence the sex you're having. As an example for this show. Billie has separated Cooper from that side of herself to such an extent that she can't really enjoy sex with him. When the trouble between them, she jumps to cheating is the only answer. I mean, she literally considered no other options. On a personal note, my wife and i have no expectations of what sex means. Therefore, we can simply enjoy it without unnecessary pressure added to it.

[@whatsthisthen9271]

I’m ace, so I really don’t understand it that much. But I do think sex is important for most couples, but you’re totally right, it never should be as important as emotional compatibility. And to equal sex = love is just dangerous for real life relationships, because it can grow into objectification and sexualization real quick, which shouldn’t have a place in relationships. Loving sex with someone doesn’t mean you love them, it’s just a dangerous implication tbh

[@lastquarter3992]

It's precisely how most romance stories nowadays confuse lust and love. They are different things and, while there can be some bridges between both, it's definitely not an equal sign.

[@FallonFontaine]

This show is basically soft-core p*** with a loose plot. She wasn’t happy & being her true self in her marriage so she cheats on her hubby with her ex-boyfriend. The hubby finds out by reading her journal, then he tries to imitate the wild sex she had with her ex. Neither one of them are being who they really are. Season 2: she’s divorcing her hubby & tries to be with her ex but he moved on after she didn’t accept his proposal in season 1. She gets another bf who she can be wild with but can’t be a mom. They don’t work out. Her ex-bf doesn’t work out with his new woman. Main lady & her original ex end up together. Ex hubby and his ex get back together. They all live happily ever after. The end.

[@ptolemeeselenion1542]

I want season 3 to be more realistic. Billie and Brad struggles to be a parent for their own kids. Considering the history of brad, he screws up and cheats on Billie again.

[@aditishenai4440]

I kind of agree kind of don't. Like people cheat only because they learn that it is ok and that they genuinely feel that they aren't doing anything wrong by doing it. Usually they learn this is childhood when either their mom/dad have an affair or if they are in a single parent household and continuously see a change in partners. They grow to believe that there is no love in stability and thus they become bored when they are in a stable relationship and feel there is no thrill or adventure. Now I'm not saying all people who have had these parents end up this way, but sometimes the opposite can happen. Sometimes the person who had cheating parents can get married or be in a relationship with a cheater. In psychology it's very common to see that whatever behavior parents uphold in front of their kids, that becomes the standard in that kids future relationships. This is why therapy is so important. Because what u do to ur kid in childhood , it can make that kids personality. And this is why I feel people start having these kinds of fetish. I'm not saying all trauma or all fetish stems from childhood, but the ones that stick around have been conditioned when we were kids. This is not just for cheating fetish, its all kinds of fetish that are not mentally healthy. Fetishes like Consensual Non-Consent should be considered as a form of trauma response because it's so mentally unhealthy to fantasize about rape

[@user-i9z]

@@lastquarter3992 To be fair, a lot of material with this kink also includes the committed partner getting off on the cheating too (which iirc happened in s1 of the show). It's also common for viewers to express disappointment when the partner is made aware and seen emotionally affected by the situation. I'm not sure what that means psychologically, but it's kind of interesting.

[@kelupthegnome2871]

From a storytelling standpoint, this show made no sense. I don't know about female empowerment, I would assume this isn't it, but it usually comes from seeing someone falling and climbing their way back up. For a show like this, I would say it would have been. Billie screws up her marriage and then goes through hell to realize what she actually had and win back the guy who actually treated her right. No, i don't claim to be an expert writer, so I have no idea if that would be empowering or not. But even I know inspiration comes from seeing something that can come true, not from fictional situations that can't.

[@goodninja3]

THE WORST PART for me... as a man... was on the very last episode. Brad leaves his own son and Gigi for Billie.... WHAAAAAAAAT!? You mean to tell me that that sob story about getting to know his own father didn't mean anything and was utterly useless? Seeing as he DID THE EXACT SAME FUCKING thing to his son. What the hell is wrong writers?? It's as if kids do not exist in their worlds or at least are just there to be plot devices. Let me tell you as a young boy growing with divorced parents... DIVORCE is terrible. It's ALWAYS traumatic, and it's NEVER empowering for kids. Billie's son Hudson is going to have it rough, getting used to continous new step-fathers. Gigi's son with Brad... he's going to get it even worse.

[@kelupthegnome2871]

@goodninja3 I don't make a habit of defending the character of Brad or this poorly written story, but he told Billie the Gigi left him some time after he lost his company. You can also see his son at their wedding, so he didn't just dip out on the boy. In fact, they indicate that she left because he lost his company. The truth is the whole situation was pure plot convince. They needed Brad to be free for Billie to be happy. This whole series was full of telling and not showing. We never see Brad struggle with letting go of Billie in a meaningful way. He never reached out to her, and even at the park, he's more just being cordial than acting like he's pinyin away for her. As an aside, there's no evidence he ever went to see his dad.

As someone who went through a very bad parental separation at a young age, I just want to say thank you for this review. I've never been the "think of the children" type of person, but seriously, the writers really dropped the ball on the "family" aspect of this show. Yes... I know the show is called "Sex Life", but that's no excuse to use Billie's son as a plot device for some lame-ass deluded story. The children are basically door mats to these characters... and if anyone is wondering what will happen to Billie's kids in the future... I know from personal experience that there are emotional scars that can never be healed. Questions that I as a kid were too afraid to ask... and much too angry when I was finally given an answer. I feel validated knowing that I was not the only one, who saw just how terrible of a character Billie was. The only way a Season 3 could have the potential of having a believable plot... is for Billie to have her son be her reckoning. Hell perhaps even Brad's "forgotten" son with Gigi (Ironic...given his father's own story in Season 1). They would be the "consequence" of their actions and would only have themselves to blame if he or she starts acting out... after all... in the case of Hudson... his mum is a famous sex writer, who divorced her once-honest turned sleazy husband for a rich random restaurant owner, only to go back to her cheating bad ex-boyfriend because they have amazing wild romps.

Thank you for your service. I never finished S1and I sure as hell won't be subjecting myself to S2. As soon as I realized that they were going to villainize Cooper to justify the shit Billie was about to do (which was glaringly obvious from Ep1), I threw in the towel. God forbid we get a real story about internalized conflict, the mental/emotional constraints of societal gender roles, lack of communication in a relationship, etc. No, let's just make it all about sex. Because sex is such tried and true cure for all that ails you. It's actually really sad to see how far down they dragged Cooper, and then just tidied everything up at the last second. But I guess they knew the nail was in the coffin, probably by the end of S1, so they decided to write as big of a dumpster fire as possible.

The aching absence of spice and chemistry in the sex scenes with "Brad" and how bad his acting/delivery in every scene he was in was 3.

They showed Brad to be self-aware with all the "i've been to enough shrinks" and "don't you think i already know what to do about my dad issue"... but then he did nothing productive from that self-awareness and insight. Any mentally healthy psych student knows that you can't push people to fix their issues and that as a psychologist or whatever she was aiming to be with the PhD.. She just knew better than to be involved with someone like that.. just because of the sex or the fact that she felt special that she's the only one who knew him so deeply. That's the stuff a 15 year old girl melts over, not a grown woman in a PhD program.

Not even going to lie, I finished this show within a day or so. It was fun to watch the writing decisions unfold. And Sasha's plot got me.

wait, there's a season 2 of this show? it kinda forgot there was a season 1

It got cancelled then got brought back recently, the producers are talking about a season three from what I heard on an interview

This series need a sequel. With different writers and set the plot round 15 years later about the kids being smart enough to see how awful these adults are and doing their best to cut every ties with their horrible parents and anyone who had anything to do with them. The happy end should be how miserable their life turned out to be as consequence for their past actions also facing the fact that their kids are happy and much better people then they are because they finally got rid of them.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Amanda the Jedi kept balance between the Sitcoms, Pornhub, Fifty Shades, and the home videos. But that all changed when the Sex Life Season 2 attacked. Only the Amanda the Jedi mastered all four movie genres. Only she could stop the ruthless film students.

I'm anticipating your Scream 6 review. I totally agreed with every word you said about all the movies in your retrospective. I just got back from seeing Scream 6 an hour ago, and even though I had the same issues with Scream 5 that you did, I really enjoyed this one (though it still had issues-namely immortal characters). Hopefully you enjoy it too.

[@davidsumner7604]

I'd love to see a Scream movie where the movie shows you the killer's POV from the beginning. We get to see how the killer(s) go about carrying out their attacks and we're waiting for the movie's protagonist to catch up to who it is. That'd be something different.

so women cheating is OK and women empowerment ??

[@Venvaneless]

Billie cheated on Cooper long before he even tried the move on his boss to be fair. For me all the lying, hiding and letting yourself be worked up about your ex... Is cheating in itself. I would say it's even worse than being physically cheated on, since for months, Billie's mind was occupied with this trash of a human being.

[@AmandaTheJedi]

Yeah that's why I clarified he physically did stuff first - she's ABSOLUTELY in the wrong, it just seemed like they had him do something physical first to seem worse

[@Venvaneless]

@@AmandaTheJedi you know what’s worst? The series perpetuates the idea for red pill men, that women cheating is even worse, because „we“ justify it by „oh, it’s the man’s fault, because he didn’t give me what I wanted“. It somehow absolutes women from being lying piece of shits, while in reality no matter which gender cheats, it’s just shitty and unjustifiable. You know what I mean? Bzw. I just now had the time to watch your video till the end and I must say, your „what the f**“ is the most beautiful „f**“ I’ve ever heard someone saying 😂

I might actually watch an intentionally comedic satirized version of all the overtly sexual tv shows meant as a romance for women. The shows themselves are unintentionally (I think) funny enough though.

[@minxbade]

Season two was a shit show. The writers completely abandon the plot from season one in order to polish Billy’s reputation. But the best way they thought to do that was to tarnish Coopers None of season two made any sense to me. Season one showed Billie as a sex starved groupie, who found peace and harmony by marrying Cooper. She then went on to deliberately destroy Cooper because she just couldn’t bear the thought of another night without Brad. really? I’m just glad it ended. It was just not that good.

[@stefanpeters5971]

I just love that Billy says "It's not about Bred it's about me and what i want" And then ends up with Bred at the end for some reason

[@kelupthegnome2871]

Because Sarah and Adam are together in real life, that's why. They left their real-life relationship influence the characters. In the show reason, Billie is just a liar and is very selfish, and it's always been about brad. A possible explanation is that Billie is having an affair, mostly emotional, and is trapped in the proverbial affair fog, isn't even thinking clearly and trying to convince herself that's not what was happening.

[@Ninaofthe90s]

Season 2 was a complete train wreck for me. While season 1 dealt with pretty interesting topics, the second season felt more like an insanely fast wrap up of the story that completely left aside the original themes. Aside from the cringy writing and non sense plot, the over usage of music and constant jumps in time made it feel like a telenovela. Big flop

[@akhaliabartley1797]

Not only does this show relate to her in the movie but its in real life two. This show is stupid i didnt even bother to watch season 2 after seen the divorce in season1 i was angry the entire season the wife is just too needy obviously youre not in your 20-30s so why are you fantasizing about your wife you’re married and have kids if you’re unhappily about your current sex life why not just communicate with your husband and let him know how your feeling she destroyed a good man MOVIE IS GARBAGE ❗️

[@kkelseym]

This show really went out of its way to make Copper into an insane, toxic fool because it didn't want to admit Billie secretly still being attracted to her ex, unsatisfied with her life with Copper, and lowkey manipulating Copper into acting like her ex was a fucked up thing and having a partner who did all that would mess with anyone's head and cause insecurities.

[@allyhaydar1951]

your sooooo right emtional cheating is very bad, ppl be careful there is thing called emotional cheating please, its can bad if the person does not forget the person emotionally, but ppl go separated life so emotional cheating can be forgotten if the person forgets the other person

[@kelupthegnome2871]

I don't disagree with you about emotional cheating. It really is bad, and more than that, it can form without a person noticing it. However, what we see in season 1 wasn't just emotional cheating. It was a full-on affair. An emotional affair is just that, an affair that takes place on an emotional level. In fact, an emotional affair may never even turn sexual. But once it does, it stops being an emotional affair. It turned sexual the night she took his call while he was having sex with Sasha and used it to please herself, by failing to hang up on him when he starts taking his pants off during the second video call. When she actively arranged a situation to lie to her husband to hide her activities, when the very next day she arranged to meet Brad and go on what was effectively a date. Last but not least. When she went to his place (pre retcon) for the purpose of having sex with him I'll be honest I don't like double standards. So I find it funny that so many people down grade het actions to just having an emotional affair, when we all know if it was Cooper doing half of what she did we wouldn't draw that same conclusion. .it's not that she didn't physically cheat on Cooper it's that she got stopped from having sex with brad twice. He intentions were clear.

[@allyhaydar1951]

i am sorry if cooper was doing what she was doing he would get a lot of hate. i have noticed women seem to get away more with cheatin then men everywhere. it should be both they both should be treated the same way. ppl cheat for all sort reason as longest everyone is honest and don't mislead. either way billie and brad were horrible characters the whole storyline was not great tbh. it is shocking how many people are in bille situation i don't blame them, i just blame how the outcome or the process of the story was - it can tell people happy ending we know that doesn't happen in real life - ppl should be realistic about it, comprise

love this take hahaha. shows just how irritating and ridiculous this is. however i wished you even had talked about one additional aspect. i find it absolutely absurd how they make the male actors look. see cooper and sashas bf. of course they are lawyers and doctors, succesful and rich but look at them. they studied while sleeping because obviously their bodys are build like hulk. i find it just laughable that a show trying to underline self empowered decisions by women who kick ass and do what they want is also mixed with the cheapest clichees ever. successful men with best jobs but seemingly working out 7 days a week + taking steroids. its always wanted that there is this clichee mix of rich, successful, intelligent men who happen to be build like abercrombie models but during their 40's but it should come with a great amount of free time because if someone says uhh i work a lot for my restaurant its a red flag because he is the workaholic guy nobody ends up with pure trash and clichee overload

I think season 2 initially had a different beginning. BUT due to the backlash received from season 1 ending, they changed the scene.

[@kelupthegnome2871]

I suppose that's possible. The ending of S1 it was clear she was there yo have an affair, not because he's the one she'd ultimately chosen. Though I think their real life relationship may have played a factor in the change.
