Dying for Sex

To call the FX/Hulu limited series a sitcom would be to diminish the healing positivity it lavishes on both title subjects. Yet laugh-out-loud comedic it consistently is. Poignant and adorable too. Empowering if that’s what you want from it, but not insistent in that regard. Any tears the show will bring are eminently earned. And there’s a good chance it’ll get you hot. .... It’s difficult to recall any actor giving as much in-the-moment believability as Williams delivers in these eight half hours.

Williams roots Molly’s years-long saga in vivid, life-affirming, human characteristics that naturally emphasize the story’s central thesis: that getting off together isn’t just what makes life worth living; it is life. Her supporting cast is an embarrassment of riches, starting with Slate, whose screentime and depth nearly make Nikki a co-lead.

A near perfect amalgamation of absurdity and tragedy, and yet another superb showcase for its incredible leading lady.

“Dying for Sex” is, in fact, conscientious to the point of being a boner-kill. It’s also something of a Trojan horse. The first half of the eight-episode series focusses primarily on Molly’s sexcapade. .... In its second half, the series deepens wonderfully.

The comedy feels like a welcome release from the sadness, but the heaviness of the material in turn keeps the jokes from feeling too over-the-top.

One of the most impressive things about Dying for Sex is the balanced way in which it presents sex as something to both laugh about and take very seriously.

For all of the show’s eagerness to map the contours of Molly’s desires, it proves less invested in the rest of her — thus undermining the very story it means to tell.

Fresh, brilliantly acted, funny, with lots of heart! Highly recommend.Thanks

What a bizarre experience for me, not my cup of tea but I see why people will like this

The show was hard to watch after listening to the podcasts of the real Molly. So contrived, filmed in New York rather than Los Angeles, story line made no sense and just jumped from interesting episodes in the podcast to another, single individuals played multiple suitors from the podcast. Heavily woke in casting and characters. Utter disappointment considering the frank honest story telling in the podcast.

It is not funny last episodes are really **** exagerated story also is bad really bad

The Big C did it better. This premise has been done before in the same way.
