Mandatory Sex Ed

Well, that was fun. Now, I was inclined to watch “Sex Education” already because a) Gillian Anderson, and b) Gillian Anderson with an English accent, and c) Gillian Anderson with an English accent playing a sex therapist. While I had heard it was good, I wasn’t prepared for how good and sweet and strangely sincere the whole thing would be amid all the sex jokes. We binge watched the whole season in a day, it was that good. Sure, there’s the salacious and hilarious raunchy sex bits – but it was also just really nice to watch something so frank and honest and nuanced about the weirdness and hang-ups surrounding sex and sexuality, including on the LGBTQ spectrum. Like what a wonderful and refreshing show. And, well, Gillian doing this did not hurt one little bit.

Right On Dorothy! Show is very good. Gillian is excellent (of course). Entire storyline is so well written, it has it all. I confess I kept the subtitles on for clarity due to my American ears vs British dialogue. Good Times with Gillian.
