SEXIEST SERIES ON SHOWTIME

BY: Georgia Davis

If we had to take a vote on which streaming service or premium channel has the sexiest content, it would be Showtime. Its slate of steamy content offers daily satisfaction for our binge sessions. If you’re looking to turn on something sexy, go to Showtime and tune into these:

THE AFFAIR

Imagine waiting tables, coming across a charming novelist, and then starting an affair. That’s what happens in The Affair with characters played by Dominic West and Ruth Wilson. Most of the story revolves around these characters, but there are other characters with steamy sub-plots that are just as sexy.

THE BORGIAS

We have a feeling this is not what the Catholic Church had in mind. In this, a fantastical reimagining of Pope Alexander VI’s (Jeremy Irons) reign, where he uses his family to gain total control of Italy. How, you might ask? Through war, sex, and murder — the Holy Trinity of any seductive show.

CALIFORNICATION

A series about a sex addict is bound to make this list, right? David Duchovny plays a recently divorced, self-loathing writer who has to balance work, raising his daughter, and, yes, having sex with all of the beautiful women in Southern California. Tough break.

HOMELAND

This one is sexy in a completely different way. Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) still finds a way to sneak in the occasional bang session in between her secret missions. 

THE L WORD + THE L WORD: GENERATION Q

The L Word’s breakthrough premise about lesbians living in LA spawned a reality TV show (The Real L Word) and a reboot (The L Word: Generation Q). All three are insanely hot, and all three are on Showtime. Go for the acrobatic on-screen sex scenes; stay for the characters.

PENNY DREADFUL

If you want that blend of hot people and monsters, Penny Dreadful is the show for you. It even has a follow-up series, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, so there is plenty to sink your teeth into.

QUEER AS FOLK

Queer As Folk was groundbreaking, too, by putting gay men at the center of the narrative. It’s essentially the reason we have well-rounded LGBTQ characters on TV now. So, say thank you by bingeing the classic series.

SHAMELESS

What can we say about Shameless that we haven’t already? We assume you’ve seen every season by now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go back and rewatch it. With its final season wrapping up, we’re sure you can muster the energy to pound through every scene with the same enthusiasm that you did the first time.

THE TUDORS

OK, any reimagining of King Henry VIII’s many marriages is going to be hot. Put Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the lead role with Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn and Henry Cavill in a supporting role. Then you have one of the sexiest casts ever. You won’t regret watching this one, PROVOKRs.
