Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
"Sex" proves to be a series with loads of appeal for viewers still mourning the cancellation of "Melrose Place." |

Variety Phil Gallo
Has the potential to be a real guilty pleasure. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
It's skank-errific, if flawed. |

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith
You don't have to be under 30 to enjoy this. It's no more, or less, ridiculous than ABC's massively-hyped hit about sex, love and secrets among housewives and other oldsters. |

Newsday Diane Werts
We haven't had a good dishy time-waster in awhile. Maybe this is it. |

Entertainment Weekly Alynda Wheat
It's best to ignore the attempts at deep thought, enjoy the pretty cast, and guzzle it like diet pop. [30 Sep 2005, p.87] |

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin
Nobody is quite what they seem in this show, and watching the layers of deception and falsity peel away is its main attraction. Of course, at some point, there better turn out to be something underneath. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
Check your brain at the door and you'll find a potential guilty pleasure lurking within. |

Kansas City Star Aaron Barnhart
Not as terrible as most shows of this genre. |

USA Today Robert Bianco
Incessantly chatty, incredibly busy and annoyingly pretentious. |

The New York Times Anita Gates
[A] vapid soap. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
If the writers and actors were willing to get a little campy, if they lifted the group's obnoxiousness factor over the top, the show might have some entertainment value. But as it stands, it's an hour spent watching dull, pretty people work very hard to be hipper than one another, as well as hipper than you. |

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
Sadly, this show makes a mess of its neighborhood-centric premise. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
[A] stupid, stupid nighttime soap. |

PopMatters Shandy Casteel
We don't expect nighttime relationship dramas to be thrilling, but we have the right to expect an interesting character or two. |

It's awful. |
