Sex/Life
Time to choose.
Created by Stacy Rukeyser
On Netflix
A sexually charged melodrama centered on a woman's internal conflict between marital stability and erotic fantasy, driven by desire and infidelity rather than plot resolution.
A woman's 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.
