In the enticingly intriguing series, celebrated for pushing the envelope with its complex sexual themes and introducing audiences to one of the few bisexual characters in British TV history, Linda (Suranne Jones) plays a ex-police officer-turned-sex therapist who shares an office with her brother-in-law (Tristan Gemmill). Her life is further complicated by the fact that she and her husband, Richard (Cristian Solimeno), are unable to conceive. The prospect of Richard’s brother acting as a surrogate does not sit well with the couple and further adds to their already tense relationship.
Meanwhile, Linda is pulled into the seedy world of fetish and S&M when her ex-lover, Angie (Eva Pope), seeks her expertise on a sordid murder case involving auto-erotic asphyxiation. When another body is discovered – this time one of Linda’s clients and Richard is arrested for the murder – both Linda’s professional and personal life is put at risk.
