The 25 Sexiest Shows Streaming on Netflix

Netflix aims to please all tastes: You’ve got your family comedies, your B-grade horror movies, handsomely maid dramas, more anime than most of us know what to do with. But sometimes you just want something, well, a little sexy.

TV sexiness is of course in the eye of the beholder and so hard to define. But it’s about more than simply watching naked people pretend to have sex (though as The Borgias proves, that has its pleasures). It has to do with a certain sensibility, which can come in the form of mature romantic comedy (She’s Gotta Have It) or PG fare like New Girl. Or even the widely talked-about The Queen’s Gambit. (If Anya Taylor-Joy’s chess oneupmanship doesn't have you feeling a certain way, you may be watching the wrong way.) Netflix may not be the most sex-forward platform out there—it’s no HBO—but there’s still lustiness to go around.

Here are 25 shows on Netflix right now that are undeniably sexy, in ways obvious and more subtle. Just as important, they’re entertaining, from thoughtful prestige programming to the kind of inane reality TV you put on when you want an enticing half-watch.
