Sex Education: warm, witty and a little wise

The Netflix show is teen drama in the best 1980s tradition.

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: 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 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.

Sex 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.

Sex Education, Netflix, review

Netflix's sharp new series about a sixth former and his sex therapist mother is a delight.

Sex Education review

Gillian Anderson's Netflix comedy is eager to please but tonally confused.
