Not hating it, and not loving it but it has some moments.
All I can say is the Paulina character is the Polish Aubrey Plaza. That's all.

Sexy Comedy
This is a funny and definitely sexy comedy with plenty of R rated scenes. The Polish student needs an eye catching theme for her final which only one will be chosen as winner which will accelerate their future career. The FL had a boring theme and was told by her professor an honest opinion in advance that she won't be winning and suggested to change her theme, even at the last minute, to something more sexy as that was the rage - what's is catching attention right now. That's how her sex APP was born and she does quick sex research in the dorm and get's volunteers to join in for the sake of research to complete the app. Technical mixed with comedy mixed with sex scenes.

Disappointing, inconsistent, unconvincing, not even educational.
Sexify clearly tries to ride the same cart as the 'Sex Education', but contrary to the predecssor it is neither cute, nor convincing, nor actually educational.
The main story is forced and more often than not illogical. Obvious doubts are rather ignored than answered and I found it rather annoying. The technological aspect is just disturbing. It's a shame, cause the general idea is cool and the story line is usually the strong side of the polish movies. I believe with only minor changes and expert consultations it could be easily improved. But in the way it was executed: the whole app, the research, sounds cheap and it just doesn't make any sense..
On the educational side, it shows the transformation of 3, very different, characters, how they change mindsets and get out of their comfort zones - this addresses multiple stereotypes and surely can make some people think, great. But there is really not much more than it. In 8h you'll hear hundred of times that the female orgasm is important and is a goal on its own, but not much stands by it. The 2 out of 3 characters won't even experience it. On top of that the idea that there is an algorithm to the orgasm and that the app can auto-magically create it is somehow scary, and doesn't feel like the right message... So yes, it brings attention to the existence of the female orgasm, but that is as far as it goes, before it leaps backwards...
On the positive side, the characters are well built and well played, the side stories are quite realistic and the situations are often hillarious and funny. The supporting actors are among the polish best and did great job at making it more relaxing and funny. Finally, the soundtrack is an actual masterpiece, chapeau bas!
Overall, I feel very disappointed, that such a good idea was poorly executed, even though great actors were involved. With a better director it could have been 8 or 9, but in this form it's rather disturbing than pleasing to watch.

bad story but great producing and very nice soundtrack
The story is not very engaging or logical or exciting, but i can hear the soundtrack for hours and somehow the szene cutting and cameras etc make it a nice watch.

They have what it takes
This production team has what it takes to make a world-class TV series, the direction is there, the sets are there, the acting is there, the music is on point... mostly. This started out really strong, but after 5 episodes it felt like the moany-sexy house music was being overused in scenes it had nothing to do with, and the story didn't ultimately get anywhere. Every thread of this was gearing up for some great victory or success or transformation but the success never materialized. Even if they planned more substantive developments for a second season, it still feels wrong to end the first season with this little closure. And these girls jump straight to the defiant "winner" attitude too fast, with too little actual work behind it, we don't see much of any value that they've actually achieved before starting to act all high and mighty.
This had potential, but I get the sense that there's not enough of a script here to make this good even if a second season is made.

give it a chance. not bad actually
It you expect a comedy you might be disappointed. It has some funny moments but its more drama than comedy. Its about three different girls who are stuck in their (sex) life and need to change something. The main characters are likeable and the story is believable. But this show is clearly not for everyone. If you don't like it after two episodes don't bother to continue watching. I give it a solid 7 rating.

Not my cup of tea but....
All I can say is that ofc Aubrey Plaza gots clones running around the world, acting & whatnot, & yes it is a good ting !
Very well done!
Sexify is a well-written and executed romp through a younger Polish generation's thoughts on dating, relations, and sex. Given the historically conservative nature of Poland, it was quite a satisfying surprise to see all the pushback from a younger generation. Set initially on a college campus, it follows the lives of the three female protagonists who develop the Sexify app. I found the dialog quite enjoyable, particularly the interchanges between the girls and their occasional mates. I also much enjoyed hearing Polish spoken; I followed with English subtitles. The music fit the scenes. In all, a strong 8, at least! Kudos!

It touches an important topic but...
... that's about it. It doesn't make you think about anything. It doesn't present the topic in any interesting way.
It's another show that tries to touch something important and hopes it's enough to be good. It's not.
Sex education was a great example of the show that can sell you a serious subject in a great way. It was visually beautiful, it was funny, it was sad, it made you think about other people and their problems.
Sexify just...happens. Not a very interesting story. Highly irritating music theme that attacks you all the time. Very unbelievable characters (they are just too much of what they are meant to be). I couldn't make it to the last episode. I believe I had enough around the 5th.

Great series !
First, I loved to hear Polish and loved the atmosphere of the film (the music was fun). To me it was an easy to watch series with a feminist touch. As a woman, I am glad that this kind of subject comes up. I was a bit tired of the classic high school (childish) American series to be honest.... Or the old mums that try to finally live their life after realizing that their lives suck. I believe that women are much more than theses stereotypes ;)
Thank's for this refreshing series. Congrats to all the actors and actresses, they are very endearing.

Meh...
I think there's an unwritten rule in polish cinema - "if it is targeted at the general public, it's probably garbage". We, as a nation, are unable to do funny, light-hearted films and TV series. Watch any modern polish comedy, and you will most likely find yourself stuck suffering for 90 minutes through mediocre acting, lazy writing, unfunny jokes and boring, pointless plots.
Sexify is no different - what it's supposed to be, I guess, is our version of Sex Education, but it falls miles short in every aspect. Where Sex Ed is subtle, Sexify is vulgar and coarse. Where Sex Ed is funny, Sexify is cringy. When Sex Ed talks about a variety of topics regarding human sexuality, Sexify screams "FEMALE ORGASM!!!" and it's essentially the only thing it has to say.
The acting has its ups and downs, but even good acting won't help if the characters are just way over the top. And we are talking caricaturally over the top. We have Natalia - a total nerd who doesn't know what sex is at 23. Paulina - the typical housewife adolescent who has no say in her relationship and lives under the dictate of her boyfriend. Finally, Monika, the seemingly heartless one-night-stand enthusiast, who deep down is soft, emotional and sad. In essence, the clichést of cliché.
At no point is there an attempt to make the viewer invested in the plot or connected with the characters. There are no attempts to be witty or funny. There are no attempts to inspire some reflection in the viewer. It is just a brainless sit-through of eight hours, which you will most likely not even enjoy that much...

Silly Show
I was interested early but it took a lot of time to get to the punchline. It's an innocuous silly show and while the actresses gave it their all, the material wasn't there. I can say that the three lead actresses are cute and they grew on me over time. And now it sets up for a second season that will likely just revisit season 1 except that these ladies will likely be working to commercialize the app. Unless they can expand that topic there's not much to work with. But it is entertainment. The plot is not nearly compelling as Sex Education.
Surprisingly good for the recent series trends on Netflix.

Terrible woke Netflix show
Firstly it must be said this politically correct Netflix production has the worst soundtrack I have ever heard on any TV show ever, truly it's incredible how bad the music is. Somebody actually decided to add this soundtrack, it shows how little taste & class Netflix has at the moment.
I tried to like the TV show, but unfortunately once again political correctness and obvious woke messages throughout the show make it almost unwatchable. I hope this tv show doesn't reflect the reality of life in Poland, if it does then they're in trouble.
I'm not sure if they're attempting to make a semi comedy with this tv show, the fact that I'm not sure demonstrates how bad the story line and acting are. I watched the entire series... I'm a masochist it appears. Save your time, it didn't improve in fact it gets a lot worse.
Please God, Netflix, stop making ultra woke productions like this which lack a story, the obvious political messaging is embarrassing and will turn people off eventually.

Something light and entertaining
If you are watching some long and serious series and you want to lighten up your mood, then this series is for you. It will keep you entertained and no boring scenes at all!

Soundtrack killed it.
Great songs and the sounds used are well designed but poorly executed and once heard for the 100th time by the 4th episode, well its just overkill and its killing the show very quickly for me. On top of that the filming style is try-hard and all over the place like its been made by a bunch of cocaine addicts with attention problems. To top it all off the voice acting dubbed to english is broken and unbelievable.

Exactly what we need in this day and age
It's nice to watch a series that actually makes me feel better about myself from time to time. Especially when the series shows humor, realistic main characters and is from Poland, a country I knew nothing about!

Best interpretation of Eastern-European dorm.
I was a student once. And Sexify makes me feel nostalgic. Yeah it's not American or British style of education and sex life. It's not American comedies with mega-chad football players and cheerleaders. It's about eastern Europe. Yeah, it's not as good as Sex Education. But in my opinion it's more realistic, it has more life it in. And I like it. I like that application they develop, is not some sci-fi fantasy we can often see in movies. It's realistic project that can be done by students. I like how this TV series show important themes. About taboo telling about sex, about old professors that care only about fake achievements and "science", about relationships and how sometimes just open conversation can save couples, about church and sometimes negative effects of it on modern world, about connection between elders and new generation. I also like cast of characters, visual style and music. It's well balanced TV series that made you laugh and care about characters and problems they trying to solve in their lives or in the world.

Fun but with serious understones
This is obviously, this series is not meant to be too serious, but since this is a Polish series, I was not able to just enjoy it but also found it to have serious societal undertones. Poland can still be a fairly conservative society, and this series offers a good look at the generational shifts with the discussion of certain taboo's.
The series follows 3 ladies who are studying in a tech university. All 3 could not be more different from each other. One is stuck in the same relationship as her parents. One, is exactly the opposite, one-night stand, not a care in life type of a girl. And, our protagonist, who seems to be doing everything she can to get away from her mothers mistakes, while risking repeating them.
Overall, the serious while having those elements, still remains fairly light, but what I found to be the best part of it, how they were able to develop 3 very layered characters and detailed backstory.
Overall, I enjoyed it.

Pathetic
After watched few nice product from Poland looks like they're now doing this kind of pathetic cheap social media head teens shows that are trendy lately in Netflix. Money talks I guess.
