Sex Education is produced by Eleven for Netflix .

Following the closure of Moordale Secondary, Otis and Eric now face a new frontier – their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, whilst Eric is praying they won’t be losers again. But Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students – they thought they were progressive but this new college is another level. There’s daily yoga in the communal garden, a strong sustainability vibe and a group of kids who are popular for being… kind?! Viv is totally thrown by the college’s student-led, non-competitive approach, while Jackson is still struggling to get over Cal. Aimee tries something new by taking an Art A-Level and Adam grapples with whether mainstream education is for him. Over in the US, Maeve is living her dream at prestigious Wallace University, being taught by cult author Thomas Molloy. Otis is pining after her, whilst adjusting to not being an only child at home, or the only therapist on campus…

  1. I liked the first season of Sex Education mostly because of its sometimes crude quirkiness and the amusing depiction of 20 and 30 something actors trying to portray teens, but obviously some of the sexual themes wouldn’t pass muster if the show had used younger actors. In season one the writers had something fresh to work with and the visual satire provided some laugh out loud moments. Season 2 had lost some gloss and any pretense of coming of age innocence was gone, sex education was intent on testing viewer boundaries, something Netflix like to do every now and then. The main issue if there were plans to keep this show active past season 4 would be the aging stars, so some casting changes would be essential, and this rarely works except perhaps in British detective shows.
