Sarah, 43, plays Billie Mann Connelly has branded the latest episodes "very gimmicky" and insisted it was difficult to shoot at times.
She said: "I definitely did not have the support that I did in the first season from the people involved in the show. It became a much different thing for me — and I’m not afraid to say that."
Sarah's real-life boyfriend Adam Demos is also in the show and plays her on-screen ex Brad Simon.
But she's hit out at Adam's lack of screen time the second time around.

Appearing on Amanda Hirsch's podcast , Sarah continued: "I really liked our stories and I like working with him.
"He was a brilliant scene partner. [In Season 2,] I was working so much and he was working so little. He’s, like, in 60 seconds of the entire thing. I never saw him."
Insisting it was "hard to get behind" some of the moments from the new series, she said: " I’m not always gonna get along or agree with a filmmaker.
"I’m not always gonna like what I have to do or say. But that’s my job, to make it believable."

Sex/Life tells the story of Billie, a dissatisfied housewife fantasising about life with her past hot lover Brad.
