Sex Education is deeply weird
It's rather bracing, in this cultural moment, to find a TV series so casually accepting of teenage sex (everyone is having it, and if they're not they want to be, and the script treats this as normal and healthy and good). But the show is also deeply weird.

NME, 18th January 2019In 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.
Arielle Bernstein, The Guardian, 17th January 2019Review: 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.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th January 2019Review: Netflix's Sex Education
An honest and amusing romp through teenage sexuality, although highly Americanised for broader international appeal.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 15th January 2019Review: 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.
The Upcoming, 12th January 2019Sex Education review
This Netflix show about life for the son of a sex therapist could so easily have been embarrassing. Instead, it is a glorious, heartfelt, eye-wateringly funny creation.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 11th January 2019Sex Education, Netflix, review
Netflix's sharp new series about a sixth former and his sex therapist mother is a delight.
Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 11th January 2019Sex Education review
Gillian Anderson's Netflix comedy is eager to please but tonally confused.
