Sex Education is blunt, full of depth, and absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed the first season, but after crushing season 2 I had to geek out about it. Sex Education - Season 2 released to Netflix January 2020 and if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend you check it out.

The series creator, Laurie Nunn is doing an incredible job developing and creating this show. With every episode, Laurie demonstrates her ability to communicate moments that earnestly reflect human experience. It’s clear she is a true storyteller with a deep respect for character development.

Sex Education season 2 is intelligent, well directed and sincerely funny. I’ve already watched the season twice and I know I’ll watch it again.

So what is the series about?

On the surface this show is about a teenage boy Otis, whose mother is a sex therapist. At school, Otis and classmates Maeve and Eric start an underground service where Otis provides sex therapy advice to other students.

But I mean, that’s not really what the show is about. Sex Education is a show about acceptance, discovery, and growth. It's about life, decisions, and relationships. Without judgement it approaches sexual health in a way that is informative, actionable, and desperately needed for teens and young adults.

Sex Education is thoughtful on a staggering amount of levels. From the deliberate framing of shots - to the well rounded characters you meet throughout the series, it feels like care was given to each decision made when creating this show.

I was always excited to see how the title credits would be presented at the top of each episode.

Sex Education, Season 2 (2019 -)

Creator - Laurie Nunn

Netflix Original

You will develop strong relationships with every character in this show.

In season 2, one of the stand out stories was Aimee’s character arch about her journey with sexual assault. Without giving anything away, I just want to say it was emotional and demonstrated the effect trauma like this can put on all your relationships and the way you interact with the world around you.

If you aren’t worried about spoilers, this article in Buzzfeed covers Aimee’s journey in season 2.

Overall, this show is a much watch for young adults. You’ll watch this show and be reminded that everyone is just figuring it out. You might even develop a new respect for open communication or find yourself more comfortable asking questions regarding sexual health.
