Sex Education, now in its third season, takes a nuanced look into teenage relationships and sexuality. Two high schoolers, Otis and Maeve, open a business charging students for sex-related advice, as Otis’ mum is a sex therapist and a lot of teenagers have misconceptions about sex. But from then on, the show delves into the backstories of different characters, following them through the ups and downs of different love affairs. Endearing and wholesome, the show also wins points for diversity and addressing queer issues.
