Synopsis

Socially awkward teenager Otis Milburn is ambivalent about sex, despite his mother being a sex therapist who is frank about all aspects of sexuality. After inadvertently assisting the school bully with his sexual performance anxiety, Otis sets up a sex advice business with Maeve - a confident but vulnerable classmate - to educate their fellow students in how to deal with their own sexual problems.

My view

Sex education is sweet and funny. Moreover, it's a vivid teenage series which do care about its wise characters.

The story stretches with an awkward embarrassed teenager Otis Milburn who struggle with his divorced mother's occupation (a sex therapist) and her influence on his personal life.

Otis accompanies with Eric Effiong brilliantly played by Ncuti Gatwa, his gay friend coming from a religious African family.

They team up with a social outcast, soft angsty Maeve Wiley aka cock-biter living alone in a caravan park. Later they start a secret sex clinic at their high school.

The audience of this show will have an empathetic crush on these characters making it a successful one. The show uses sex and sexuality as a way to explore other things. One of the great perks of ’sex education’ is that it demonstrates a powerful understanding of the things that go on the desires and needs that aren’t just physical.

From the very first scene of the first episode, you may think this as a filthy series bragging just about teen sex. But, as you keep up with the flow in like 3-4 episodes, it will occur to you know this ain't anything like the American pie.

Another great thing about this show is its colourful fashion environment. The whole theme and vibe of the show are so pleasant.

Sex Education is an adventure through a group of teenagers whose sexual stuff is so eccentric to nature. One could even learn a thing or two from them.

Dystopian times (unabridged)

I read '1984' by George Orwell a few years back. I could only read up to 70% of it for some reason. In the first chapter, the protagonist secretly writes a journal entry as a sort of protest, or a way of telling his story to future generations. Thankfully, we're not there yet, but I imagine sooner or later, we as a collective world will reach that level of dystopia. I can't help but wonder, 'Has the world always been like this, or I'm just noticing it? ' Maybe yes, but the amount of injustice and horror that has been happening around the world has definitely only increased with time. There is so much injustice, violence, and horror happening around the globe, and the fact that I was born in this godforsaken country. It's awful enough to be a citizen of this country, but being a Muslim in India is only worse. The only thing I can do is be grateful for the fact that I was born in the South. And all of this leads to one being in a certain dilemma. Do I try...

Who will win the Ballon D'Or 2018?

There are a lot of quality players out on the field with potential of acquiring the so called best player award in the world easily known as the “THE BALLON D’OR”. Since the year 2008 this mesmerising price has been shared among two, who are known to the world as CRISTIANO RONALDO and LIONEL MESSI. Both of them are so far presented with 5 of the awards equally throughout these years. To be honest no one else other than these two has not even came close into winning the award after 2008. But this year a number of different things have happened. Lots of underdogs have proved their worth and are told to be possible winners of this Glamorous award. As the World Cup is upon us on July, it will play a major role on declaring the Ballon D’Or winner this year. With the help of various experts and from the form they are in, we have reduced a 23 possible nominees list: (not in chromatic order) 1. Li...

The unbearable weight of consciousness.

I’ve always been pretty conscious about myself. I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not. A bit of both, I could say. Being fully aware of myself has always helped me to know what I want in certain situations, with people, etc. I know what sort of person I want to be, in general. I’m 100% certain about the vibe I want to give out to people, and I am sure that for the most part, I’ve succeeded in doing the same. But still, being super conscious most of the time has not helped me figure out what I want to do with life. This has been my life’s biggest dilemma. I used to be ambitious growing up, I guess up until end of the college. Maybe corporate did it, perhaps I did this to myself. I am the most unambitious man I know right now. Does that scare me, I don’t know. I see people around me hustling, switching techs, and companies, climbing up the ladder, making huge life decisions, and moving out of countries. I feel nothing. There is nothing I want to be. Sometimes I feel like I pea...
