## Synopsis

The Best Sex Ever (2002-2003) is an American cable drama series created for Cinemax, an anthology built around a single late night radio format. Angela Nicholas plays Veronica, a midnight radio host who opens each broadcast after the good girls and boys have gone to bed. She suggests a theme for the night, then invites listeners to call in and share their own erotic tale about the best sex they ever had. Each episode presents one caller's story, with Veronica occasionally interjecting comments or questions, so the engine is the stream of confessions and the intimacy of voices in the dark. Supporting roles pass to the callers, played by a rotating group of actors including Holly Sampson as Tina and Craig Stepp as Neal Stevens. The series runs two seasons of thirteen episodes each, with a self-contained story per episode rather than a continuing arc. Set in a contemporary American city after dark, it is frank, sensual and playful, with a talky, confessional register that foregrounds desire, vulnerability and the humor of other people's secrets. Fans of Sex and the City and Tales from the Crypt will find a similar appetite for candid adult storytelling.
