mathematics, English, chemistry, what will not be taught the 16-Year-old High School somewhere in the United Kingdom? Properly, Sex is missing. It is neatly fucked, with or without a relationship. But Sex is more than Mechanics, in and out, “the little death”, as the French man says it is so poetic, has its own magic.

The white, Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), a socially awkward Teenager. But as that is just the way His mother (played by “X-files”Star Gillian Anderson) is a sex therapist. Otis is surrounded by counselors, Videos, and discussions about Sex. And he is not in the morning in the house on the men who had with his mother this?

Sex, Sex, Sex everywhere, but Otis had no. At his school he is with his best friend Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) in the outside position. No Sex, not cool, worse for a Teenager. And then this mother continually interferes in his life!

but Then he comes up with the idea – or he is taken from the Bad Girl Maeve (Emma Mackey)? – that he could See with his immense theoretical Knowledge about Sex with his classmates, and importance. So, he founded with Maeve an unofficial “sex therapy clinic”. For the Netflix series “Sex Education” is a large playing field opens up. Who has not struggled with this issue, who is in this age his inclinations, his feelings and his love safe? See Adam (Connor Swindells) the son of obstinate school principal, Groff (Alistair Petrie), is a boor, the Younger of the three, with his Penis in a clear and behind Natalie (Cerys Watkins) tagging along, called him “embarrassing”. Sex is tiring, difficult, only hear say nice. But all of them want him.

Sex Education is Stuck “” is not

Laurie Nunn has written the first eight episodes for the Netflix Original. “Sex Education” to move between Comedy and Drama – and that is exactly what happened. In the sexual sector, and in the teenage phase, there are an infinite number of embarrassing, unwanted, unmanageable scenes and moments. As an author Nunn little, as well as the production, with Nude scenes and has little problems. Stuck may not be the protagonist, “Sex Education” is.

Laurie Nunn looks deeply into the Teenage soul and what she sees there, the high identification potential among the Coming-of-Age Label. The characters of Otis, or Maeve are prototypes and they are more than that. Especially Asa Butterfield formulated his Otis about the often-seen figure across the border, it gives it an individual character. What looks to be a Loser, you must not stay Loose. What is also true for Emma Mackey, the umflort the cool Maeve with ambivalence. Who is with 16, what he believes to be pretending?

Gillian Anderson has your sex therapist Jean. Hairstyle, clothes, patient, sexual partners, there is not doubt and do not despair. But proximity to people, and I set, Jean sees in the man the “use people”.

Director Ben Taylor keeps the Story and protagonists are on the line. The Comedy seems to be a bit closer than the Dramedy, in the comic scenes he makes it, sometimes to Drastic. Here is rolled, while the finer, silent moments could use more attention.

This deficit weighs heavy. “Sex Education” is to bring the quality of portraits of young adult life, Sex, romance, and friendship in a Balance and need to bring.
