In praise of Sex Education

The critically acclaimed series combines teen comedy tropes with remarkable honesty, offering a fully fleshed portrait of how high schoolers deal with sex and consent today.

Review: Sex Education, Netflix

Sex Education is an odd one. As has already been pointed out elsewhere, this new Netflix series seems to be set in a British school that thinks it is in America. The boys seem to be either jocks or nerds while the girls seem to be good girls or bad girls. You almost expect to see Olivia Newton-John walking past in leather trousers smoking a ciggy.

Sex Education spoiler-free review

It's a great time to be coming of age. Not since the late 90s has there been such an explosion of movies and television shows centred on the discomfort and growing pains of the teenage experience.

Review: Netflix's Sex Education

An honest and amusing romp through teenage sexuality, although highly Americanised for broader international appeal.

Why does Netflix's Sex Education feel so American?

Sex Education is set in a British school - so why does it feel so American?

Radio Times, 12th January 2019

Review: Sex Education

Admittedly, there is an inexplicable sense of Americana cast over the series' British backdrop. Students drenched in sunlight don letterhead jackets making it look a little more suburban California and a little less rural England. However, the slickly written script by Laurie Nunn makes the questions wash away. Sex Education is the show to binge on Netflix while achingly lamenting it didn't exist during your own complicated days as a teenager.
