Meet Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) – an inexperienced, socially awkward high school student who lives with his mother, a sex therapist. Surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis is a reluctant expert on the subject. When his home life is revealed at school, Otis realizes that he can use his specialist knowledge to gain status. He teams up with Maeve, a whip-smart bad-girl, and together they set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their fellow students’ weird and wonderful problems. Through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realises he may need some therapy of his own. (Netflix)

Gillian Anderson reigns supreme in this series, though she's certainly not the main character – but that doesn't mean the others aren't interesting. Quite the contrary. The main character and all those who revolve around him like some kind of solar system are great, and it's funny that although most of them fall into previously seen and well-known character boxes, they somehow evolve within those boxes as well, climbing out of them and back in again... The creators also have a pretty decent supply of surprises up their sleeves (like the ending), so I've easily enjoyed absolutely every episode and look forward to the second season.

Sex Education has been recommended to me numerous times from literally every direction. The title didn't entice me much, but I love British English and I have some extra time now, so I gave the series a try. I breezed through the first series at a pace of about one episode every two days, and at the very least, I can say I wasn't bored. On the other hand, the running time of each episode is quite long considering the subject matter. Each character is different, but they are all very distinct in their differences, and in the second season their characters start to develop nicely. I'm enjoying it. 4 stars.

When I look away from the fact that this series takes place in some kind of an American bubble in the middle of Wales, which doesn’t make a lick of sense, I must say that it’s a great comedy piece, the likes of which I haven’t seen in a while. I felt great while watching it. The characters are wonderful and that’s thanks to that great feeling you get from the story; you just want everyone to be happy. Moreover, it’s a lot about gays and lesbians, and sex in general. In the end, however, the sex is just the icing on the cake, because it’s mostly about a certain community of people who are more open than the rest of the world – which is actually the thing you enjoy the mostabout this. I’m looking forward to more seasons, because I’m really into this.

The best teen event not only among series, but across movies in general. The Brits pull it off and serve up such a great series that you'll not only want to go back to school immediately, but also go out on the streets and have a fight with someone. Cleverly written, entertainingly directed with likeable characters you'll empathise with and root for. Some may complain about the presence of LGBT and that the show is too international, but that's the way it is in the UK so the show sticks to reality only and I personally didn't mind at all. Maeve and Ruby are powerful babes and Asa Butterfield is absolutely awesome. Addictive as fuck and delighted by the frequency of sex scenes and crushing twists.100%

For those who revel in awkward situations, this is an ideal series to watch with your whole family. However, it is difficult to evaluate, as the whole story and humor are so far-fetched and often have little to do with the real world. You get used to it over time, though, and it gradually turns into a slightly more serious story about unrequited (or misunderstood) love. Nevertheless, the number of bizarre situations remains the same. Finally, I have to appreciate the perfect casting and I wonder if the seventies Britain vibe was intentional or if time had definitely stopped on that island.
