10 TV Shows That Are Somehow Getting Better
6. The Sex Lives Of College Girls
Sounding like a video you have to walk through a special curtain in order to buy, The Sex Lives of College Girls is a coming-of-age drama with a special focus on "the deed".
It trails four college students (all female, if you hadn't already worked that out) as they traverse school, society, and yes, sex, with a variety of hilarious and heart-warming outcomes.
On paper, it sounds pretty trashy, just another excuse to put attractive young women in sexual scenes on TV. But it runs much deeper than that.
It deals with racism, as one girl comes from a predominantly White background. There are gay characters, characters of colour, characters in relationships with older partners. It's got variety, this show, and not in the Karma Sutra kind of way.
The second season, currently streaming on HBO Max, continues this upward trend. It's conscious without ever being preachy and the wide range of characters ensures that each episode is a joy to sit through.
So there you go, don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a TV show based on its title.
Unless it's Naked and Afraid. That one is pretty literal.
