Sex education

"Sex Education" is frank and deals with the little dysfunctions of its characters in a way that we relate without feeling embarrassed for them. In fact it's cathartic to know that we aren't the only ones who have ever had issues with sexual angst.

Don't let the title fool you. This show is not just about sex but also the messiness that surrounds every relationship we enter; both romantic and platonic. Otis, Eric and Maeve lead a cast of characters each with their own unique originality and complexity. The young actors show us older folks a world we never allowed to live in. Their looseness and identification is so malleable and we see gender variance and same sex attraction being treated as second hat which they are today.

I think what makes the show is its rawness and honesty and it's quirky way of surprising us with those unexpected little turns that real life also invariably takes.

Like Eric, who is gay, says "We have to love ourselves"

Indeed.
