Netflix’s “S&X” may have a title that’s confusing to read aloud, but the same can’t be said for its straightforward, unflinchingly honest dialogue.
Based on Kisei Tada’s manga “S and X,” the series follows sex therapist Ichito Shimotori, who helps his clients with all sorts of sex-related issues and anxieties. Little do his clients know, Ichito is harboring a secret anxiety of his own.
