Sex Education is new as far as I know, and it was one of those series that is pushed on us at the opening of the app / program so i figured i would give it a shot.
The storyline is pretty preposterous: A group of outcast kids, one who is the son of a licensed sex-therapist accidentally stumble on the fact that he is actually very good at helping teenagers with various problems they have in their sex lives. This propels them to a new level of popularity quite quickly at the school and they are also charging for this.
It took me a little while to realize it, but Gillian Anderson from the X-Files is actually a star in this series. She plays the role of the aforementioned licensed sex-therapist

looking pretty good for a 50 year-old woman with 3 kids
So the teens go through the normal high-school stuff like fitting in to the social hierarchy, studying and sports, and bullying that takes place pretty much everywhere but they also seem to have an awful lot of sexual concerns for people that are teenagers. To me this is really unrealistic but whatever - maybe I just wasn't cool enough in high-school.
The show can be a bit uncomfortable to watch and unless your family dynamic is considerably different than my own I wouldn't watch it with your parents or kids. I think too many uneasy moments or questions could be created. Maybe this is just me.
The show has excellent music, so that is a plus and so far it has held my interest for the most part. I think a part of me looks at it as being quite unrealistic but perhaps teenage life has changed a lot since I was in high school quite some time ago. I don't know if i will be able to finish this series but so far I think it is worth a look.
So far I rate it just a tad above "meh" or if we have to use numbers 6 / 10
