Cancel weekend plans to binge erotic drama hailed as ‘revolutionary TV’
All episodes dropped on Disney Plus.
Dying For Sex has been hailed as ‘one of the best shows’ out right now, following one woman’s sex-capades as she faces certain death.
It stars Manchester by the Sea’s Michelle Williams as Molly Kochan, a woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had an unusual coping mechanism.
She left her husband of 15 years and embarked on a boink-filled journey to explore her sexuality to its fullest extent before it was too late.
Based on the true story of Molly’s life, originally shared in a podcast of almost 200 episodes, Dying For Sex has been hailed as unmissable.
Created by New Girl’s Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock, the eight-part limited series is now available to watch in the UK on Disney Plus.
Despite the eye-catching title, early reviews from several publications suggest there’s also plenty of emotional depth to this unexpected raunchy tale.
The series has an all-star cast including Sissy Spacek (Picture: Hulu/FX)The podcast synopsis states: ‘As they peel back the layers, we learn that Molly isn’t just grappling with breast cancer: she’s also dealing with some trauma from her past.
‘Along the journey, the friends explore bigger themes that affect us all — like healing, forgiveness and what do we do with the time we have left.’
In one of the episodes, Kochan also explained her decision to leave her husband by saying: ‘Sexually, we had difficulties before cancer came along. Right before I got diagnosed, I was kind of looking to recharge our sex life… and then cancer showed up.’
The original podcast episodes are still available for those who want to listen along while watching the brand new Disney Plus series.
As well as starring Michelle and Jenny, the cast also includes Sissy Spacek, David Rasche, Jay Duplass, Kelvin Yu, and Catastrophe star Rob Delaney.
