#1 Dark Winds, Season 4
4.8

Sexual content appears low, with one reviewer explicitly noting no sex or nudity. Some unsettling sexual tension around Irene is discussed, but not as explicit content.

Pros: costume design, directing quality

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#2 Adventure Time: Side Quests, Season 1
4.3

Sexual content appears very light. The clearest note is innocent shirtlessness, while broader reviews frame the series as wholesome and family-friendly.

Pros: production design, animation quality

Cons: pilot episode quality, score quality

#3 Rick and Morty, Season 9
4.2

Sexual content appears toned down compared with some earlier low points. The lack of huge sexual-exploit or incest-focused episodes is treated as a welcome improvement.

Pros: critic appeal, genre satisfaction

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#4 It's Not Like That, Chapter 1
4.0

Sex is discussed or implied without graphic depiction, and several viewers praise the restraint. More conservative responses still object to dating and intimacy outside marriage.

Pros: season finale quality, screenplay quality

Cons: character consistency, continuity

#5 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: cinematography, drama quality

Cons: writing quality, plot clarity

#6 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: main cast performance, acting quality

Cons: cancellation satisfaction, plot clarity

#7 A Woman of Substance, Season 1
3.7

Sexual content is noticeable but not uniformly intense. Some critics call the remake sexed-up and racy, while another says the scenes are more romantic than blush-inducing.

Pros: season finale quality, main cast performance

Cons: humor, plot clarity

#8 Rivals, Season 2
3.4

The abundant sex and nudity are central to the show’s comic identity and are often embraced as part of the fun. Some critics find the excess tiring, while others miss...

Pros: score quality, critic appeal

Cons: character consistency, plot clarity

#9 Alice and Steve, Season 1
3.3

Sexual content is present as a central story driver, though one family-focused take notes that the actual sex stays behind closed doors. Another early-episode review found no visible sex or...

Pros: directing quality, cast chemistry

Cons: family friendliness, language level

#10 Not Suitable for Work, Season 1
3.0

Sexual content is present but restrained. The show includes smooching, limited sex, and some steamy chemistry, but several notes stress that it is far less risqué than the title implies.

Pros: renewal interest, bingeability

Cons: plot clarity, soundtrack quality

#11 Every Year After, Season 1
3.0

Sexual content is handled with restraint but not everyone loves that. One critic wanted hotter sex, while another appreciated that the show builds attraction without graphic scenes.

Pros: directing quality, cinematography

Cons: character consistency, writing quality

#12 Widow's Bay
2.8

Sexual content appears lighter than violence and language, though sexual insinuations are still present.

Pros: episode structure, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, language level

#13 Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Season 1
2.7

Sexual content is central to the premise and tone. Some reviewers appreciate the lack of shame around Paula’s desire, while content-focused reviews warn about nudity, sex, and a sleazy edge.

Pros: acting quality, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#14 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: realism, cultural representation

Cons: age appropriateness, violence level

#15 Star City, Season 1
2.5

Sexual content is present but not framed as the show’s main draw. Reviews mention affairs, intimate surveillance, and sexual situations as part of the adult drama.

Pros: cliffhanger effectiveness, main cast performance

Cons: humor, family friendliness

#16 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: main cast performance, dialogue quality

Cons: accountability handling, family friendliness

#17 What It Feels Like For A Girl, Season 1
2.2

Sexual content is frequent, explicit, and divisive. Some see it as essential to the story’s rawness, while others felt a few scenes were excessive or repetitive.

Pros: genre satisfaction, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, violence level

#18 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: directing quality, modern political framing

Cons: value for money, family friendliness

#19 Spider-Noir, Season 1
1.5

The show includes sexual winks, suggestive asides, and a darker adult edge that family-focused viewers may find off-putting. Its mature content pushes it away from a kid-friendly Spider-Man experience.

Pros: plot twists, cliffhanger effectiveness

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#20 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.

Pros: world-building, costume design

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness
