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.

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.
