It doesn't help that his mother, sex therapist Dr. Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson), constantly meddles with his personal life. Things come to a weird turn when Adam (Connor Swindells), his school's resident bully, learns about Jean and asks Otis for help regarding his sex life with girlfriend Aimee (Aimee Lou Woods). The situation becomes even weirder when the school's resident bad girl Maeve (Emma Mackey) and Otis' gay best friend Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) persuade Otis to open a "sex therapy clinic" in school, with Maeve and Otis splitting the profits.

More Critic Reviews for Sex Education Season 1 All Critics (71) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (64) | Rotten (7) Basically a comedy about randy sixth-formers -- think Peep Show, only 10,000 times less funny. Jan 23, 2019 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic One of the sweetest and wisest teen sex comedies going. Jan 18, 2019 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Between the simply stunning shots of English forests and hills and the charming cast, the world of Sex Education is one you genuinely want to live in. Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic Twenty-first-century teenagers are going to find real comfort and companionship in these characters, while those of us old enough to have seen those John Hughes movies at the cinema will wish Sex Education had been there for us. Jan 11, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Helen Brown Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Here is a series that pulls off a curious trick: It's a woke raunch comedy, replete with graphic and humiliating sexual experiences, yet bent on using them in a very sincere way. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic On occasion this is snort-out-loud funny. Swirling around in the emissions are some very deep concerns; these bouncing young actors, for the most part unknowns, leap in with an appealing abandon. Jan 8, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic Sex Education indulges our yearning for the past while allowing us to see it through a more forward-looking lens. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Mimi Wong Mediaversity Reviews Its honest take on sex and the insecurities and oddities that can go with it is a refreshing approach to the well-worn path of the coming-of-age story. Jul 31, 2019 | Full Review… Fiona Flynn entertainment.ie With Sex Education, though, instead of relishing the hallucinogenic strangeness and applauding the running joke you are instead expected to pretend that neither exists. May 14, 2019 | Full Review… James Delingpole The Spectator Despite the show's slight dip towards its end, Sex Education is a smart and funny Netflix original which has a lot of heart. May 14, 2019 | Full Review… Callum Crumlish Daily Express (UK) View All Critic Reviews (71) Audience Reviews for Sex Education: Season 1 5d ago Good show for parents Steven M Aug 04, 2019 loved it really funny otis is a really well developed characters and i like the diversity of the cast christopher p Jun 28, 2019 Peep Show is funny. 13 reasons has the youth. big Mouth, nope. This show can charm, lotta greenery, a high school social heirachy and a sex clinic that makes sense given Otis has been raised at home by a sex therapist. "I have a vagina." "I am Spartacus." Actually moving. The Swede is the actor who played the changer in the LOTRs! Believable, kind, mean, lotta sex and lotta no sex just like any high school. Ola is spectacular. Same age as Otis but typically far more together in ability to navigate a relationship and simply mater of factly a virgin. Eric's Nigerian family has adapted to life in England. The bully watching that dad learn from his son and watching them embrace shows two versions of cultures, one in power but weakened by rigidity. Excellent series. Could go for years n I'd be happy. A benefit of Netflix et al, they need original content. Similar to original expansion by cable TV. Great stuff. Chris C Jun 18, 2019 There might be too much sex considering the theme of the show. But it is more moving and funny than that. I love the realistic characters and beautiful scenery. Matsuoka A Jun 14, 2019 it's so fun to watch , can't wait for season 2 dendy p May 18, 2019 very fun series. I dod not think that I would like it but I saw myself engaged in the series by the second ep. totally recommend watching Shahad A May 14, 2019 This series is so mind blowing, I real like it that I've watched it repeatedly without getting tired of it. I can't wait for season 2 with it will do better than season 1. Rich J May 01, 2019 I was surprised at how into the characters I was, and how much I wanted relationships to blossom. It's some heartfelt stuff. Jack W Apr 26, 2019 Well narrated story of teenagers becoming adults in both sexual and emotional sense. The series has its funny and emotional moments which blend together well. In some scenes and episodes the story gets a little over the top which is yet not bad. It gets back on track very fast then and so the storyline is still enjoyable. Good one if you like the mixture of embarrassment and emotions the series creates. Therefore it is not just a 'regular' high school series. It gets deeper into the protagonist's emotions and problems than other series that have a similar aim. Apr 18, 2019 Its raunchy humor and provocative tensions swirls to an empathetic love letter to the sexual misadventures of coming-of-age teens; a must-watch Matt F See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
