Dan Einav Financial Times Where it so easily could have been crass, the series revels in the absurdity of sex. Yet it is never blithe about the painful elements of the story. Rated: 4/5 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) ...[Michelle Williams] achieves the sublime. She captures an entire life’s buried distress in a solitary word of reply, suggests wonder with a seditious smile. Rated: 5/5 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Writers Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock deliver on a premise that tonally balances the humor of sexual freedom with the stark closure of death. Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice It’s a grimly funny tragedy, anchored by Michelle Williams’ magnetic performance. Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Even though the premise of FX’s Dying for Sex feels somewhat disconnected from its actual story, flawless performances and an empathetic script make this cancer dramedy worthwhile. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire I did not think this show would be particularly remarkable going into it and I came out of it thinking it was one of my favorite standalone dramas in quite some time. Rated: 10/10 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
