Netflix has renewed one of its latest hit series ‘Sex/Life’ for a second season. Created by Stacy Rukeyser and inspired by BB Easton’s novel 44 Chapters About 4 Men, ‘Sex/Life’ season 1 premiered in June this year and since then has been watched by 67 million households in the first four weeks of its launch.
Announcing the news of renewal on social media Netflix dropped a video announcing season 2 with fan reactions for the show specially the shower scene from the 3rd episode and wrote, “Sex/Life has been renewed for Season 2!
The first season was watched by 67 Million households — and 20 million of us rewound *that* scene at least once”
As per the official synopsis, Sex/Life is the story of a woman whose 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.
The lead stars of the show including Sarah Shahi, Mike Vogel, Adam Demos and Margaret Odette will be returning to reprise their roles in season 2 of Sex/Life at Netflix.
But the real question is season 2 of the show really required? Well, the comment section of the post announcing season 2 would definitely make you think it wasn’t because most of these comments talk about the show not being worthy of a sequel season and also that on the other hand many other deserving shows have been dropped by Netflix.
We have often seen that shows and films with eroticism somewhere in the plot have been hit viewership wise on streaming services. But when it comes to the plot of such content, most people consider they often lack strong storyline. So are the viewers just lured by the sexual appeal of the show and soon loose interest when the sex part is over or is there a problem with the concept of such shows altogether?
