The Episode Review
This week’s episode of “The Sex Lives of College Girls” is full of interesting stories, but some of the choices made in terms of which storylines to focus on are not as great. ..
The show’s title suggests that the sex is good, but the development of romantic relationships has been disappointing.
I’m not sure if the show is quite nuanced enough to handle the murky waters Bela is wading. Just please, writers, don’t make her cheating into, I don’t know, an act of reclaiming feminine power? It shouldn’t have to be said, but it feels like a potential plot point.
