#1 Best of the Best
5.0

A reviewer notes some mention of sex but still considers the movie a comfortable family watch, indicating approval of the relatively restrained level.

Pros: dance choreography, cultural representation

Cons: plot originality, romance quality

#2 Virgin River, Season 7
4.5

Season 7 is noticeably steamier, but the increased intimacy is generally viewed positively and described as tasteful, playful fan service rather than excessive.

Pros: story quality, emotional impact

Cons: drama quality, writing quality

#3 Heartstopper Forever
4.2

Most critics approved of the more mature intimacy as loving, sensitive, and emotionally purposeful. A few found the sex scenes overly sanitized or coy.

Pros: ending satisfaction, cultural representation

Cons: supporting cast performance, pacing

#4 Bridgerton, Season 4
4.2

The season’s steamy scenes are generally welcomed as part of Bridgerton’s romantic appeal, especially once Part 2 restores the heat that some viewers missed early on.

Pros: entertainment value, story quality

Cons: plot originality, writing quality

#5 Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, Season 1
4.0

Sexual content is restrained, with promiscuity kept to a minimum. That restraint contributes to the show feeling more approachable than many streaming murder mysteries.

Pros: entertainment value, acting quality

Cons: faithfulness to source material, season length

#6 I Will Find You
4.0

Sexual content appears minimal in the reviewed material. One source says there is no sex or nudity, though profanity and violence remain present.

Pros: bingeability, suspense

Cons: plot twists, entertainment value

#7 The Boroughs, Season 1
3.8

Sexual content is present as part of the show’s older-character vitality rather than as shock value. One review noted the horniness as a surprising quirk of the ensemble.

Pros: entertainment value, acting quality

Cons: episode pacing, plot originality

#8 Crew Girl
3.5

The show avoids making sex its main engine and earns praise for restraint from one critic, but other family-focused reviewers flag sexual references, suggestive comments, making out, and lingering shirtless...

Pros: sports storyline quality, character development

Cons: romance quality, plot originality

#9 People We Meet on Vacation
3.5

One detailed content-focused assessment describes the sex scenes as firmly PG-13 rather than especially explicit, while noting that some viewers may still find the amount of sexual material uncomfortable.

Pros: entertainment value, romance quality

Cons: character development, story quality

#10 Running Point, Season 2
3.5

The season includes limited romantic passion in Isla’s dreams, noted without strong concern or disapproval.

Pros: main cast performance, supporting cast performance

Cons: season pacing, episode structure

#11 Run Away, Season 1
3.3

Sexual content is limited in one reviewer’s viewing, but another content-focused source flags underwear and references to sexual violence as reasons for caution.

Pros: entertainment value, story quality

Cons: plot clarity, finale satisfaction

#12 My Brilliant Career
3.0

Reactions depend heavily on expectations: family-oriented sources dislike the suggestive and explicit material, while other critics think the show is comparatively restrained and usefully frank.

Pros: main cast performance, entertainment value

Cons: plot originality, sexual content level

#13 Vladimir, Season 1
2.9

The erotic content is one of the biggest divides: some found the fantasies purposeful, sexy, and non-gratuitous, while many others thought the marketed steaminess stayed surprisingly tame or repetitive.

Pros: main cast performance, theme depth

Cons: story quality, character development

#14 Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Season 1
2.8

Sex is present without explicit nudity, but the strange foreplay and adult relationship context reinforce that this is not light or family-safe viewing.

Pros: suspense, theme depth

Cons: season pacing, story quality

#15 Mating Season, Season 1
2.6

Sexual content is the defining trait, and approval depends on taste. Fans call the raunch bold or surprisingly balanced; detractors say it overwhelms story, humor, and comfort.

Pros: cast chemistry, acting quality

Cons: humor, character development

#16 The Beast In Me
2.5

Sexual content is present but not the show’s dominant element; one review notes sex without nudity, while family-oriented coverage still flags it as part of the mature package.

Pros: bingeability, main cast performance

Cons: plot twists, writing quality

#17 The Gentlemen, Season 2
2.5

One negative review finds the season oddly sexless despite its macho fantasy tone. Sexual material is otherwise not a major focus in the supplied reviews.

Pros: story quality, renewal interest

Cons: season pacing, plot clarity

#18 DANG!
2.3

Responses to the sexual and crude material vary sharply. One critic finds it excessively detailed or disgusting, while another appreciates that the sex-and-drug jokes are restrained enough to leave room...

Pros: cast chemistry, animation quality

Cons: humor, plot originality

#19 Louis C.K.: Ridiculous
2.3

Sexual and child-abuse-related jokes are one of the most repeated concerns. The taboo approach may work for some tolerant viewers, but many will find those bits strange, excessive, or damaging...

Pros: theme depth, genre satisfaction

Cons: humor, sexual content level

#20 Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story
2.0

Sexual content drew some of the strongest disagreement: critics often saw fetishistic or misplaced sexualization, while one reviewer enjoyed its bold directness.

Pros: acting quality, entertainment value

Cons: faithfulness to source material, violence level

#21 East of Eden
2.0

Sex and nudity are frequent and sometimes graphic, with brothel material and kink adding to the adult tone. Several viewers find the level excessive or uncomfortable rather than merely mature.

Pros: main cast performance, story quality

Cons: character balance, episode pacing

#22 A Different World
2.0

Suggestive humor, sensual dancing, kissing and sexual-health discussions push the content beyond younger-child territory, even without reports of explicit on-screen sex in the supplied material.

Pros: spin-off quality, cultural representation

Cons: romance quality, season pacing

#23 Michael Jackson: The Verdict
2.0

The series contains explicit discussion of alleged sexual abuse and related police-interview material. Reviewers describe those sections as wince-inducing, graphic, and difficult to watch.

Pros: media scrutiny portrayal, theme depth

Cons: interview and source material quality, plot originality

#24 Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
2.0

The sexual material draws a negative reaction because Tommy’s sex scene is viewed as cheesy and out of place.

Pros: ending satisfaction, faithfulness to source material

Cons: story quality, pacing

#25 The Witcher, Season 4
2.0

Reduced nudity was noted, but one reviewer still found the remaining intimate scenes gratuitous.

Pros: action quality, villain quality

Cons: entertainment value, faithfulness to source material

#26 Little Brother
1.8

The movie pushes graphic sexual jokes, nudity, and explicit situations far beyond typical mainstream comedy. Even some positive viewers consider the material excessive or unnecessarily gross.

Pros: acting performance, chemistry between characters

Cons: humor, entertainment value

#27 Office Romance
1.6

The adult flirtation is welcomed by some, but the graphic childbirth gag and crude sexual material are widely viewed as excessive, awkward, or out of place.

Pros: supporting cast performance, lead performance

Cons: chemistry between characters, humor

#28 In the Hand of Dante
1.5

The mature sexual imagery is brief but deliberately provocative. It fits the film's adult tone, though the surrounding vulgarity and symbolism may feel gratuitous.

Pros: lead performance, supporting cast performance

Cons: story quality, plot clarity

#29 Voicemails for Isabelle
1.3

Sexual references, comic encounters, and suggestive scenes are frequent enough to limit suitability for families. The material feels prominent and relentless rather than occasional.

Pros: story quality, emotional impact

Cons: plot originality, pacing

#30 Calabasas Confidential, Season 1
1.2

Sexual content is not a major thread in most coverage, but Brandi Glanville’s graphic oversharing became a notable viewer complaint.

Cons: audience appeal, story quality

#31 Ricky Gervais Alley Cats
1.0

The recurring sexual and anal-sex material is criticized as excessive, repetitive, and quickly tiresome by the sources that address it directly.

Pros: main cast performance, episode length

Cons: humor, emotional impact

#32 The Whisper Man
1.0

Family-focused reviews flag brief but graphic references to child sexual abuse, making the content especially disturbing even without sexual material being the film’s main focus.

Pros: acting performance, scares

Cons: entertainment value, character development

#33 DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
1.0

One critic objects to the camera lingering on Tracy’s shirtless body, finding the framing uncomfortable rather than meaningful. That sexualized presentation is treated as a negative part of the experience.

Pros: acting quality, cultural representation

Cons: ethical sensitivity, character balance

#34 The Abandons
1.0

The content-focused review strongly objects to sex, nudity, and sexual assault. Other reviews also note that sexual violence is used as a major plot catalyst.

Pros: main cast performance, production design

Cons: character development, season pacing
