Primary, as in partner, not elections. It’s a mini-series (two seasons of three half-hour episodes each) in which two couples in open relationships change partners, laugh, cry, get horny, get laid and finally return to their primaries. In the sex scenes there’s a definite emphasis on the woman’s pleasure and reactions.

All the actors are excellent. They relate like people who actually know each other. This is the best thing Ana Foxxx has ever done in her busy career. Mainstream-worthy. Her scene, late in the series, with her primary, Derrick Pierce, is extremely erotic (including a bit of anal), as is a brief but super-hot tryst with busy businessman Isaiah Maxwell (Ep. 3).

Kira Noir is also very fine and the scene with her primary, Small Hands, that closes the final episode, is passionate and moving. Penny Pax as a prattling girlfriend of Pierce, and Michael Vegas as a smooth pick-up with Kira provide strong support, along with several non-sex actors who flesh out the narrative. And there’s a good lesbian threeway with Ana, Kira and Serena Blair at the sex club House of Shadows.

And it’s very well directed by Casey Calvert, from a script by her and industry veteran Mark Logan. The camera moves fluidly between locations and Calvert is sensitive to tone and nuance from her actors. There is a lot of dialogue, also realistic and convincing. Joy, frustration, anger, humor, passion, tenderness—a lot like real life, but with hotter people.
