There's lots of sex, between lots of different people and, yes, even the little Locaru get some action.

You will not believe that part of the story! I admit I am not an erotica reader or writer, so for the multiple sex scenes, I'll just have to leave it to others to decide how well they're done. Technically, the Ravenous Romance editors didn't do a good job for Lisa. I found lots of errors. However, I was a professional tech writer before becoming an author, so I spent years looking for those errors in documentation.
I'm probably pickier than the average reader in that regard. I just wanted to mention this to tell you to not be put off by the errors. I don't think they detract from the story. Lisa has written a bang-up, exciting scifi novel. Finally, here's my complaint about the characterizations.
Everybody seems to be screwing like bunnies in the book, yet they all seem highly embarrassed by it and afraid somebody might catch them going at it. Considering the previous book's space flu, which evidenced itself by a shipwide orgy, I'd think that the crew would be feeling pretty comfortable with the idea that they're all having sex in their mostly monogamous relationships. Do right by your authors!

Early in the first episode we are treated to a flashback to when Donner and his buddy Ted Shaw played by Malik Yoba blasted off from the surface of Mars leaving two of their comrades behind. We later see Donner staring wistfully at a photograph of him with the woman he left on Mars, the clear implication being that he loved her.
Flash forward to and the crew of the Antares is celebrating in a bar shortly before leaving on their journey. Donner and Zoe have brief words and the chemistry between them is, well, about as exciting as mixing distilled water and Metamucil.
This is apparently because of the Mars stigma still hanging over his head a decade later, although one cannot help but cheer when Donner shoves a British reporter who suggests that he and Shaw panicked and killed their comrades. Rather bizarrely, rather than being cheered for punching out the insulting reporter, Donner is kicked out of the space program.
But this quickly gets confusing. The best I could figure out is that the two had a one-night stand just before she was selected as an astronaut candidate. Zoe got pregnant and then apparently had an illegal abortion. But back or forward? From these early episodes and I had not watched episodes 3 and 4 by the time I wrote this , it appears as if Defying Gravity is borrowing a trick from the infinitely better Lost , using flashbacks to introduce the characters and show how their personalities developed and how they got where they are now.
Furthermore, Lost made both the past and the present interesting. Yes, Defying Gravity overdoes the sex angle.
Several of the women are obsessed with getting laid, and one male astronaut has a massive stash of pornography onboard Antares. The real problem is just how awkward, lame, and amateurish the entire production feels, despite the expensive sets and excellent special effects. The problems with the show are evident from the first scene. The cinematographer and editor also try to use tricks they saw in other, better sci-fi shows and only end up demonstrating how bad they are at it.
For example, an early shot goes from out of focus into focus quickly, a technique used in the Battlestar Galactica miniseries to provide a cinema verite feel. Livingston never convincingly acts like someone haunted by the fact that he killed the woman he loved. Is she feeling guilt over an abortion she had five years before, or being influenced by something else?
A dramatic situation is rendered bland. Perhaps the cleverest aspect of Defying Gravity is the one that is most poorly handled. So why did the nations of the world mount such an effort?
Some kind of entity has apparently been found, or allowed itself to be found, and has communicated the need to conduct the grand tour of the solar system. It communicates indirectly, and ambiguously. And it has powers.
