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.

Sex Education, Netflix review

An addictive teen comedy drama with empathy, wisdom - and a hip soundtrack.

Helen Brown, The Telegraph, 11th January 2019

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.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 11th January 2019

Why does the British Sex Education feel so American?

Breakfast Club lockers, Letterman jackets, American footballs in the corridors - where is this British comedy meant to be set?

Ellie Harrison, Radio Times, 11th January 2019

Sex 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 2019

Sex Education review

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

Ed Power, The Independent, 10th January 2019

Gillian Anderson interview

The actress plays a sex therapist in Netflix's new teen comedy drama, but says she'd struggle to be as frank as her character with her own family.

Radio Times, 10th January 2019

Sex Education review

Netflix's frank and sincere comedy series is a charmer.

Allison Keene, Collider, 10th January 2019

Sex Education review

Hilariously honest and refreshingly diverse.

Lewis Knight, The Mirror, 10th January 2019
