The best show on Netflix, it’s somehow both light, funny and heartfelt but also very responsible, mature and genuine.
Sex Education is so much more than its title suggests, there are raunchy scenes throughout but this show focuses more on how sex affects teenagers socially and psychologically. Its never judgemental about anyone’s sexuality or desires and instead insists upon teaching people that its okay to feel the way you do and its okay to be confused and teaches us how to deal with those feelings.
The characters are fantastic and well-rounded, the writers aren’t scared to show them as flawed individuals with problems. The three main characters (Otis, Eric and Maeve) are the heart of the show, they have a lot of depth and are relateable with genuinely fantastic acting, the beautiful relationship between Otis and Maeve being the highlight as they have some great chemistry and dialogue together. It’s also refreshing to see some positive masculinity with Otis, a white straight guy and Eric a black gay guy as they are both supportive and understanding of each other without it devolving into petty jokes(The dance scene between them made me cry). The side characters are also brilliant as they don’t just represent people of certain sexuality or color but also because they are three dimensional characters that have opinions and problems of their own.
The asynchronous style of the show is also beautiful with the 80’s clothes and 90’s cars with smartphones. The cinematography can also be very creative in some scenes. Soundtrack is addictive and fits exquisitely with the show, especially the 80’s tunes and Ezra Furman’s songs written for the show. The plot is great, writers deal with some heavy topics (abortions, sexual assault, leaked nudes, chlamydia outbreak etc) but the writers handle it tastefully and maturely while also being incredibly funny. Everything about this show is top tier in my opinion,
I’m absolutely obsessed with everything in this show (I haven’t stop thinking about it since I finished) and I think every teenager should watch it, even older people should watch it as there is a lot for all of us to still learn. Can’t wait for Season 3.
