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.

Excerpts from my dream journal.

So when I was making tea the other day, oh wait. I like tea. I drink an awful lot of tea every day. My mom thinks it's an addiction, and I might die of cancer one day. Though what I can't tell her is that, if it wasn't for Chai I would've taken my own life a long time ago. Chuckles. So I was making tea and it's nice and warm outside. You know the 4 'O clock light warmness. The sky slowly turning orange-red gradient. Soon it'll be Violet when looked through my bathroom window. It's a cool view, so I sometimes stand there for a while even after I'd done with the peeing. Especially if my neighbor is cooking, the smoke would be all upon the sky, and orange and violet beams gliding through it give a cool view. Where was I? So I was making tea, and all these snippets of memories come back running to me. And the funny thing was that these are memories of events that have never happened, you know. But it felt like events that I'd already experienced,...

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...

All I Ever Wanted Was A Way To Kill The Noise.

You know how fire extinguishers work? Umm... If I remember my high school textbook correctly. They form this blanket or like a cloud of carbon dioxide around the region of fire, thus limiting the oxygen supply required for the fire to survive. Okay, your point being? Yeah, so I feel like that. Every now and then, I don't know, is it, God? Is it me? Is it the people around me? Society? My subconscious? I don't know, someone creates this cloud, dark cloud of nothingness around me, and it's sucking the oxygen out of my life. I feel like an ember every morning, just trying to overcome the cloud, survive. And I'm not choking, it's like sucking all the words from inside me, making me more silent every day. Also, I don't want to lose them, so I lay it all down here, in papers, in stickies, whatever piece of paper I can pass my final flickers of fire on to. Sayonara. *** Images: Pinterest
