A scene of a naked man in full that panics social networks, a scenario that fascinates women in couples asking themselves questions in a boring daily routine ... The Netflix series "Sex / Life" is slowly but surely becoming a global phenomenon.
Ten days after it was put online, this rather well-felt new fiction takes first place in the ranking of the most viewed programs on the platform in France, as in the United States where it is placed in the top 5.
First scene, first shock.
Her heroine, a hot brunette with the body of a goddess and the look of Carrie Bradshaw (the character of "Sex & the City"), has fun in a nightclub ... and leaves with a man a few steps from the dance floor for being offered a maddening cunnilingus.
A flashback to his life before.
Because today, the now quadra, interpreted in the second degree by the perfect Sarah Shahi, has taken the car.
The one "who slept with half of New York", as she likes to say, now lives in a quiet daily life in the suburbs, mother of two blondes, married to a perfect, kind and stable man.
Sulphurous as you wish
An ideal life?
Not really… Because her past obsesses the heroine, especially her ex, a director of a sexy music label with false airs of Chris Martin, with whom the sex was dantesque.
Will she succumb to her old demons or will she wisely stay in her life as a bored stay-at-home mom in bed?
One thing is certain, despite a few lengths, especially in the last episodes
(Editor's note: where the psychodrama scenes take up too much space on those lighter and often funny parts of legs in the air)
, difficult to get away from this new series particularly well organized and sulphurous at will.
Each episode is punctuated by a multitude of raw but never vulgar scenes.
Light, funny, this unpretentious series is devoured without moderation.
A note that made it successful and caused a lot of ink to flow.
First on the people side, the couple of actors, Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos, heroes of the series, are in real life as a couple too, as they announced on their respective Instagram accounts.
Accounts whose number of subscribers is panicking, respectively to 732,000 subscribers for her, and 445,000 for him.
But the phenomenon has also spread to Tik Tok… thanks to a 2.0 challenge.
The game is simple: watch the 19th minute of the third episode entitled "Empire State of Mind", and immortalize the reaction of the person who discovers the size of the comedian's penis, then filmed naked in a collective gym shower!
The buzz has grown to such proportions that actor Adam Damas has even had to deny having recourse to an understudy.
Funny and light.
