The Couple Next Door is currently steaming up living room windows across the country, proving that sex most definitely still sells – so what are the sexiest shows to watch on TV right now?
Channel 4’s latest thriller introduces viewers to Becka and Danny, who look perfect from the outside – he’s a cop (muscles bulging under uniform, tick!), and she’s a yoga teacher (fit and flexible, tick!).
When equally gorgeous Evie and Pete move into the area, they soon learn that their new neighbours are swingers, and couple swapping becomes a very real possibility…
The tension is palpable in the six-part series, and the sexual chemistry between Evie and Danny is the elephant in the room. You know, if elephants were size eight, with perky breasts, and tight t’shirts.
The Couple Next Door isn’t just style over substance, though (I’m talking about YOU, Fifty Shades of Grey). There’s also several spicy side plots involving a dodgy stalker, Danny’s criminal sideline, and Evie’s cultish family.
Here are our top 5 sexiest TV shows if you’re enjoying The Couple Next Door… Just don’t watch with your mum.
Sexiest TV shows: Normal People on BBC iPlayer
Steamy 12-part series Normal People focused on the electricity of first love between two people who changed each other’s lives forever. Based on Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel, it starred Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones as Marianne and Connell, who find an unlikely bond at school.
The sex scenes were intimate, and often. In fact, leading actor Mescal was forced to defend the series against claims it was like pornography. He said: “They’re entitled to their opinion. My own perspective of it is, we worked hard to make it feel like it was a real, accurate and truthful representation of sex amongst young people.”
There’s a reason why more than 21.8 million viewers watched Normal People on BBC Three. The ‘modern masterpiece’ included 41 minutes of sex in total, making it reportedly the most sex the channel has ever shown.
Sadly, the BBC’s second Sally Rooney adaptation Conversation With Friends failed to live up to the success of its predecessor (despite being the better book). This was largely due to the lack of chemistry between the two main stars.
Game of Thrones on Now TV
The HBO series Game of Thrones remains one of the best TV shows of recent years, which ran from 2011 to 2019. It had everything – good versus evil, terrifying villains, family beef (to say the least), and romance. Also, lots and lots of often quite mucky sex.
