Netflix has been making a less than favorable name for itself lately with all the recent cancellations.

We're only in April, and this year Netflix already axed 10 shows. Just in time for Easter, we received the next cancellation message for a series that doesn't exactly offer classic holiday entertainment.

The streaming's comedy-drama Sex/Life has been canceled after its second season. According to Netflix, the series allegedly came to a natural ending in season 2, with happy endings for key cast members.

However, it is totally unclear whether creator Stacy Rukeyser would share this notion. It was only at the end of March that she tweeted that she didn't know if a third season would even happen.

Now, the Netflix' answer is heard, loud and clear. But as the series ended, the drama didn't.

On April 4, the Sex/Life lead actress Sarah Shahi was a guest on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, where she took an opportunity to offer openly critical opinion about her experience filming the second season.

Shahi stated that she "definitely did not have the support… from the people involved in the show." The actress has made it abundantly clear that she's "not afraid to say that," even though it might cost her the potential future Netflix career.

The overall unusually candid and blatant interview for a TV star circled around to a harsh and cold phrase:

"I'm never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can't lie."

In Sex/Life, Sarah Shahi played Billie Connelly, a suburban Connecticut mom with a loving husband. Exhausted from her duties as a mother of two children, Billie longs for her past wild life.

So she begins to write a diary and fantasize about her passionate experiences with her ex-boyfriend whom she never got over.

Lost in memories of her past, Billie wonders how her life got to this point. But then her husband finds the diary and Billie has a chance to steer her life and her marriage in new directions.

Both seasons of Sex/Life are available to stream on Netflix.
