`Is physical cheating a deal breaker or a deal broken?.` The recent episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle sparked an internet debate after the two actresses said they wouldn’t mind if their partners cheated—while 28-year-old Janhvi Kapoor disagreed, calling physical cheating a `deal broken.` Social media quickly sided with Janhvi, reigniting conversations about what love, loyalty, and emotional boundaries mean today.
In the spirit of that conversation, here are five shows that dive deep into the messy, evolving relationship dynamics of the 21st century.
1. Nobody Wants This
Nobody Wants This explores the adulting, contemporary love, marriage, and fidelity with unflinching honesty. The series dissects the complicated crossroads of desire, guilt, and emotional accountability, striking a chord among today`s viewers with moral gray areas to navigate. Its second season, which started on October 23, keeps probing if love can indeed survive the temptations of the modern world.
2. The Summer I Turned Pretty
This teen romance drama captures perfectly the messiness of teenage love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. As Belly grapples with tangled relationships and first loves at Cousins Beach, the series mirrors how emotional bonds shift with age. Under its beachy veneer is a thoughtful examination of attachment, loyalty, and the poignancy of growing up.
3. My life with Walter boys
Another teen drama about second chances, My Life with the Walter Boys tracks Jackie, who is taken in by a big, boisterous family when tragedy befalls her. The series deals with issues of loss, belonging, and emotional exposure as it examines how teenagers establish new connections and learn to open their hearts once more.
4. Sex Education
Sex Education delves into intimacy, identity, and boundaries from the perspective of teenage discovery. From emotional truth to sexual fluidity and the definition of consent, the show redefines what healthy communication within relationships can be. It`s not about sex—it`s about knowing yourself and others in an unfiltered world.
5. Fleabag
Fleabag is still one of the most tremendous portrayals of emotional disorder in the 21st century. With its sharp wit and crushing vulnerability, the show conveys a woman`s battle with loneliness, guilt, and human connection. It redefines intimacy—not as a state of perfection, but a state of courage to be revealed absolutely, flaws and all.
