Every performer is wonderful, not least because the script is wonderful, playing the sex for laughs and the search for intimacy as something serious, good and noble. Not a single character is a cipher – even the smallest parts have a sketched backstory and some good gags. Read full review

Season two packs in an astounding amount of stories that have real heart and skin to them, while also allowing significant space for pansexuality, queer sex and queer desire, bisexuality, and asexuality. It’s sprawling and intimate all at once, like several personal diaries strung together. Read full review

The parent’s problems feel minor to those of their offspring and their storylines can be a bit too drawn out. “Sex Education” easily overcomes that minor quibble because Nunn and her cast have created a universe of characters that you inherently want to root for. And it’s so entertaining that after eight almost-hour long episodes it somehow feels like a quickie. And, yes, that’s a compliment. Read full review

The surreal glossiness in Sex Education is a joke and a cloak. Any realistic depiction of a chlamydia outbreak in a Welsh secondary school would be gritty. Here it is harmless and hilarious. It’s a schooling not just in sex, but in comedy, too. Read full review

Otis, Maeve, and Eric’s stories are the meat of this season, but the most compelling threads emerge when the show grants unexpected complexity to characters in the periphery. Read full review

For eight hour-long episodes, Sex Education Season 2 manages to pack an impressive amount of storytelling into each episode. Realizing that this show works best as an ensemble has given it a new sense of purpose taking it beyond clichés. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

A sweet, conventional drama with lovely performances: Connor Swindells stands out as the unhappy and secretly gay Adam. But the show is less groundbreaking than it thinks. I’m showing my age, but I think John Hughes did it better. Read full review

In season two, not only was the treatment of the characters different, the themes were also more diverse. Thus, the intention to include more affective-sexual diversity is noticeable. Even though there has been an unromanticized and serious discussion about sexuality before, the new seasonIn season two, not only was the treatment of the characters different, the themes were also more diverse. Thus, the intention to include more affective-sexual diversity is noticeable. Even though there has been an unromanticized and serious discussion about sexuality before, the new season brilliantly evolves its narrative by discussing the incidence of asexuality and bisexuality. The series also covered discussions about how couples (even adults) generally don't talk about their preferences and desires in a sexual relationship, and how this directly affects how we behave around our partners. And, above all, it analyzes the need to bear in mind that marriages can fall apart if we do not nurture it lovingly and sexually.… Expand
