After having grown up with a sometimes too frank sex therapist mother, insecure teenager Otis Milburn had always been ambivalent about sex. However, after accidentally assisting a bully with his performance anxiety, Otis sets up a bustling sex advice business with his rebellious friend Maeve.
This series is one of Netflix's best, with a story that will make you crack up one moment and tear up the next, thus perfectly encapsulating the awkward emotional roller coaster that is the teenage years. The entire cast is phenomenal, making it easy to get invested in the characters' lives – even the ones you might hate initially. Overall, Sex Education's only flaw is that there aren't more episodes.
Sex Education is truly a great Netflix series. Plucking some inspiration from classic teen films throughout the decades, the show feels both familiar and completely original. With its fascinating and seemingly endless string of great characters, the show will suck you into their lives before the end of the first episode.
