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.

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman

It's awful.

I don't even know why this show was on the UPN Fall Schedule to begin with. When I first read about this, one word came into my mind: "cancelation." And guess what? It got canceled. I don't think UPN should bring this show back no matter how many viewers watched it. I give this show a big fat zero.
