Sex Life is a drama series that premiered on Epix in 2019. The show follows Billie Connelly, a married woman in her 30s living in suburban Connecticut who is dissatisfied with her stale sex life with her husband Cooper. Billie longs for the wild sexual adventures she had in her youth with her bad boy ex-boyfriend Brad.
The show begins with Billie and Cooper appearing to have an ideal life - a nice house, successful careers, and three kids. However, behind closed doors, their marital intimacy has become routine and Billie finds herself bored. When Cooper is away on business, Brad suddenly reappears in Billie's life, dredging up old feelings and temptations. This sends Billie on a quest to find fulfillment and passion, forcing her to decide between the stability of her marriage and the excitement of her past.
Billie tries to inject adrenaline into her humdrum life through new hobbies and activities. She also begins confiding in her married friend Sasha about her fantasies and desire for something more. When Cooper continues putting his work ahead of their relationship, Billie becomes more intrigued by her lingering attraction to Brad and the sense of adventure he represents.
Various steamy flashbacks show the wild sexual chemistry Billie and Brad shared in the past. The show explores how Billie's unmet needs and longing for passion put strain on her relationship with Cooper. While Billie still cares deeply for Cooper, she feels trapped and unfulfilled. Her inner turmoil builds as she tries to decide whether to stay devoted to him and their family, or seek fulfillment outside of their marriage.
Sex Life provides an intimate look at mature relationships and suburban middle-aged ennui. The show accurately depicts the complexity of married life - how monotonous routines can replace youthful excitement over time. Billie's tempted rebellion speaks to a relatable desire to recapture the magic and passion of the past.
Sex Life is a series that ran for 3 seasons (22 episodes) between June 14, 2019 and on Epix
