Sex is simultaneously simple and incredibly complicated. It’s a universal language that most of us come to understand at some point in our lives but it’s loaded with meanings and possibilities – a site of connection and pleasure, but also potentially a breeding ground for tension, confusion and miscommunication.
Directed by Leticia Cáceres and Madeleine Gottlieb, SBS’s new anthology series puts the act front and centre through eight stories, each penned by a different writer (this review takes in the first four episodes). Sex is shown in all its messy glory – at times glamorous and stylised, carnal and sticky in others. It is more explicit than what is often shown on Australia’s conservative screens but sex is really the lens through which emotions and relationships are explored.
