Netflix has a new anthology series that explores sex and relationships through various couples in Chicago. From newly formed couples to married with kids to one night stands, the relationships range in time and type but share a common thread of humanity. The characters are interconnected loosely with a few sticking out as unconnected or at least, I missed the connection. The episodes vary enough that I could see them appealing to different people and not always hitting for others.
The first episode explores a couple trying to reignite their sex life with kids and a role reversal of the woman being the primary breadwinner. The second follows the couple's babysitter and her new relationship with an activist who has her exploring veganism and biking. The third episode introduces brothers who work to start an illegal brewery while trying to start families. The fourth show a Hispanic couple moving into a new apartment and encountering an old friend. The fifth has a graphic novelist working to revive his career and suffering from the repercussions of putting his social life on the page. The sixth has a couple exploring online dating together. The seventh deals with aging and living a single life after a long term relationship, and the final episode returns to the brewery to follow a reporter working to interview the brothers.
