Plot: Billie navigates new challenges — and fresh desires — as she lusts after the life she wants. But will she be able to have it all?
Season 2 of the Sex/Life TV Show was good.
Pros: I like this season continued where the previous one left off, where they explore how our characters’ sex life can affect their relationships and their lives. I feel bad for Billie and Cooper and each of their individual journeys. Theirs a much of sex scenes in this season and having just 6 episodes into this season does help tie things up to make the right happy ending of this season.
Cons: At times the drama can get over humorous and over the top. There was too much romantic drama going on to keep up with. We didn’t see what happened to Gigi by the end. And for last I didn’t buy into Majid being Billie’s new love to be.

Main:
- Sarah Shahi as Billie Mann Connelly, a former Columbia University psychology PhD candidate, mother of two, and housewife in an affluent suburban Connecticut community who is suffering from a severe midlife crisis, yearning for the fast-paced life she had with her ex-boyfriend Brad. It is later revealed that her maiden name is Mann. She ends up with the happily ever after life that every woman dreams of but questions if that is really what happiness means.
- Mike Vogel as Cooper Connelly, Billie’s strait-laced husband who is an investment banker. He is a good guy kind of character, supportive no matter what.
