Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Laura Babiak
The series' comedy never strikes a wrong note, with Williams and Slate making for a deliriously delightful dynamic duo.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A near perfect amalgamation of absurdity and tragedy, and yet another superb showcase for its incredible leading lady.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
For all of the show's eagerness to map the contours of Molly's desires, it proves less invested in the rest of her -- thus undermining the very story it means to tell.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
The series is darkly funny, deeply sweet, and bracingly honest.
TheWrap
Bob Strauss
Laugh-out-loud comedic it consistently is. Poignant and adorable too. Empowering if that's what you want from it, but not insistent in that regard.
AV Club
Tim Lowery
It's a show about death that's quite enjoyable and bingeable, a miniseries with rom-com vibes that doesn't stress a love interest and a comedy that will probably make you cry and reach out to the ones who matter. Yet it somehow works.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Inspired by the true story of Molly Kochan and the titular podcast she hosted with Nikki Boyer, 'Dying for Sex' is a heartbreaking (and horny) story about female friendship, self-actualization, and the realization that it's never too late to heal.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
In giving the love between these two singular women the same emotional weight as any ill-fated romance, Dying for Sex becomes the rare cancer story that celebrates life in all its perverse idiosyncracies without shrinking from the specter of death.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Writers Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock deliver on a premise that tonally balances the humor of sexual freedom with the stark closure of death.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's compassionate and believable with Williams and Slate giving us an honest depiction of the unbreakable love that can be shared between two female friends.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
"Dying for Sex" improves so much in its final few episodes that it is tempting to use the cliché of it being two different shows.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Dying for Sex may be a grabby title, but the series itself is not so risqué in the end. It is quite moving, though, grounded by warm and thorough performances and sharp bits of writing.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never be able to watch Scooby-Doo the same way again.
New York Times
Margaret Lyons
Williams nails the paradox at the center of the show: As Molly's body grows weaker, her self-possession grows stronger.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
It's very tempting to simply heap roses on Dying for Sex through blossomy phrases like "heartbreaking" or "captivating" or "life-affirming," which have lost all meaning, having been overused by critics. They don't do the show justice anyway.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Shine up an Emmy for Michelle Williams-hilarious and heartbreaking in this true story of a 40-ish podcaster who only learns to push the limits of sexual identity after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Jenny Slate shines as her partner in letting go.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
If all this sounds like a lot for eight half-hour episodes to juggle, Rosenstock and Meriwether make it look easy.
The New Republic
Phillip Maciak
Williams, in Dying for Sex, delivers all the qualities viewers have come to expect from her: quiet radiance, surreal expressiveness, a facility with anger. But she's growing here, too. This is, for instance, her funniest role to date.
The New Yorker
Inkoo Kang
[Dying for Sex] has a morbid, somewhat off-putting hook... But, in its second half, the series deepens wonderfully.
NPR
David Bianculli
The emotions and characters running throughout this series are so real and often so raw that though I laughed a lot at what I was watching, I also choked up a lot and really became caught up in the emotional lives of the show's characters -- all of them.
