Teenagers and sexual problems – that immediately makes you think of sex comedies à la AMERICAN PIE. But SEX EDUCATION takes a different approach. Of course, there are still one or two scenes to be embarrassed about. However, the problems of the characters, such as finding their sexual identity, are taken seriously and discussed in a respectful and far-sighted way.

In addition, the series comes with is a terrific soundtrack by Ezra Furman, among others, who processes her own transsexuality in her songs.
