RT Critic's Consensus: Bawdy, heartfelt, and surprisingly wise, Sex Education is a raucous romp through a group of teenagers whose sexual misadventures are so thoughtfully rendered, adults could learn a thing or two from them.
RT Audience Score: 95
cag: LOVED it, going to be an all-time favorite
Produced by: Netflix
Characters:
Otis Milburn - Asa Butterfield (main character, a HS kid whose mother is a sex therapist)
Jean Milburn, Otis' mom, is played by Gillian Anderson
Maeve Wiley is played by Emma Mackey, the "hot" female lead, who befriends Otis
Eric Effoing is Otis' best friend, gay and black and wonderful
Adam Groff is the mean kid, who we can tell is attracted to Eric, very much against his will, lol
Ola Nyman has appeared on the scene, and becomes Otis' girlfriend
Jakob Nyman, Ola's dad, has an on and off relationship with Otis' mom, who doesn't "do" relationships, but is very much attracted to Jakob....
My comments: This was totally and fulfillingly entertaining. X rated in places, R in others. British. FUNNY and heartfelt, with some really serious stuff thrown in, too. What a MARVELOUS cast! Some are newbies, and they're wonderful. I was so upset when the short series one came to an and, but an happily awaiting season two which is currently in production.
Storyline from IMBd: Feeling pressured by the rumor that everyone in his class is having sex except him, awkward teenager Otis (Asa Butterfield) struggles with masturbating. It doesn't help that his mother, sex therapist Dr. Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson), constantly meddles with his personal life. Things come to a weird turn when Adam (Connor Swindells), his school's resident bully, learns about Jean and asks Otis for help regarding his sex life with girlfriend Aimee (Aimee Lou Woods). The situation becomes even weirder when the school's resident bad girl Maeve (Emma Mackey) and Otis' gay best friend Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) persuade Otis to open a "sex therapy clinic" in school, with Maeve and Otis splitting the profits.

RT Critic's Consensus: Sex Education's sophomore season definitely has more going on, but by treating each new subject with care and humor, it leaves plenty of space for its characters to grow.
