'When he comes to realise that, it asks the question, 'Is it too late, or is this something that still can be fought for?' And Cooper's wanting to be up for that challenge.'Īnd that was essentially the fabric of season one. Let's concentrate over here on the career and this other thing.' And in doing so, he doesn't realise these feelings that have been stirring in his wife. He says, 'Okay, I've got this taken care of. 'Over long relationships, we develop blind spots we develop these areas where you think you've created this perfect life and this perfect marriage and this perfect family and perfect home,' Vogel said (via ScreenRant). When they do get hot and heavy, Billie loses herself in the moment but it's Cooper, time and time again, who is wrapped up in his own thoughts and unable to surrender to the moment. And that's what's so important about their relationship too: that she's the only one that's forced him to look at that.'

He's layered, and he's got some things that he hasn't dealt with. 'So that's what I loved about it to try to find the pureness of him and his vulnerability, because that makes all the cool and the calm and the casual stuff. You understand that there are walls up for a reason and that it's only her that could breakthrough. In an interview with ScreenRant, Adam Demos expanded on why Brad is still drawn to Billie despite the years they spent apart: 'I think when you figure out what's gone on in the past as well, and the fact that their relationship discovers a lot of those issues, then you understand where he's coming from. 'Hopefully people will go back and forth over the course of the season.' 'It was really important that it was not an easy choice, and as the season goes on, the layers are peeled back on both of the men and you understand why Brad is the way that he is and what was the trouble in their relationship, but also what was the trauma that he was dealing with,' showrunner Stacy Rukeyser told Collider. At one point, the pair were also on the road to having a baby and getting hitched, so they've got a lot of history. While her relationship with Brad was turbulent and laced with pain, their sexual chemistry remains electric, even eight years down the line.

There was A LOT of back and forth in Sex/Life season one and yes, we're talking about the astronomical number of sex scenes, as well as Billie's mental flip-flopping as she agonised over whether to focus on her 'picket fence' home life with Cooper, or her undeniable connection to ex-boyfriend Brad.
