    Sex Education starts off by ticking every box of the stereotypical high school hypersex scene, no-imagination-at-all. Yes, it's R-rated for its softcore porn scenes which is a shame because it's really designed for a 13yo's mentality and budding hormones - we adults can and do see far better sex scenes so this is kind of a waste.

And Gillian Anderson. From the FBI X-Files to an anorexic looking single-mom (because that hasn't been done to death) sex therapist just an explicit conversation away from license revocation. And the high school characters are played by those well into their 20s/30s, so that's really authentic [eye roll]. And this is a British series, so you get the weird accents, the confusing slang, and the general, beatdown depression of British life. All that in the first episode. Guys I tried, I really tried to get through the second episode but it was just as painful so I called time-of-death. I REALLY am anxious though to start "Future Man" season 2 like now!… Expand

    Not funny, not informative, a show about really stupid kids at their most self indulgent. Anderson should be embarrassed. Just plain boring.

    Someone explain to me why is this **** so popular. Otis is a moronic dip**** and Maeve is the most unlikable jerk I've ever seen. It's not because she has a 'personality', which actually is the stereotypical 'I'm a jerk because I've suffered', it's simply because she's an **** Support characters are either stereotypical ****s or the 'aha! gotcha, you got it wrong' characters.

    Eager to please but confused, Sex Education could do with a stint on the therapist’s couch itself.

    Ultimately, this is a show with an unexpectedly wide appeal. Twenty-first-century teenagers are going to find real comfort and companionship in these characters, while those of us old enough to have seen those John Hughes movies at the cinema will wish Sex Education had been there for us.

    Iimmaculately, densely written, glorious creation. ... And it’s funny. Endlessly and seemingly effortlessly funny, in a naturalistic way that doesn’t have you listening for the hooves of the next gag thundering down a well-worn track but, like Catastrophe, catches you almost unawares and makes you bark with laughter.
