Design
This series was created by Laurie Nunn. The Sex Education seasons are based in Britain, so expect everything from their accents and their mannerisms to be quite British. The show reveals how Otis is very troubled with his personal problems, and every time he tries to talk to his mother she ends up explaining things more as a therapist than a mother. We shall see how the second season ends up after he discovers his gift. After these short 2 seasons, catch up on the madness of Walter White on Breaking Bad.
Value
From the first season, we can already see this is going to get good. Who knows what kind of situations arise for Otis and Maeve as they attempt to fake being therapists. By season two they may be doing bigger things or the jig may finally be up. While this is a high school series, there are various moments that this show gets a little too explicit, so it’s best to have a family-friendly type of show up to watch with the kids like Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Sex Education Review Wrap Up
The two seasons on Netflix have eight episodes each, feel free to witness that madness that is about to go down in Otis’s high school. The stakes will be high for these characters as they try to be something that they are not. Stick around and see Otis try to pull off a grand scheme by trying to be the student’s sex therapist.
