Sex Education Title

It’s funny and definitely worth the watch. Obviously, it’s a comedy, but that being said it is somewhat educational and dramatic. It doesn’t teach you about intercourse or what to do when you’re having it but it takes a different perspective and studies the stigma around sex, the psychological parts. What your feeling and why. Not so much you but the characters, each has a different situation. It’s funny because it’s mostly awkward situations revolving around sex.

Awkward Encounter

“Where’s the cum Adam?”

“Ultimately, Sex Education is much less interested in the mechanics of sex than in what encourages real intimacy. This doesn’t mean that the show isn’t chock full of lewd masturbation jokes and scandalous drawings” – The Guardian(2019)

A high school boy, Otis played by Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), mother is a sex therapist, Dr Jean Millburn played by Gillian Anderson(The X-Files), and as if that isn’t embarrassing enough for him, when he goes to her with his sexual problem, let’s just say she doesn’t exactly treat him with client confidentiality.

I would suggest this series being for 15/16 and above considering that it’s illegal to have sexual contact with anyone under the age of 16  but on the other hand, curiosity can strike in your teens. It has been given an 8.6/10 rating off IMDb which, for a comedy, is quite high.

It ends in a cliff hanger as usual, but the season finale wasn’t much of a big finale. To be honest, I was disappointed with the ending, I’m not going to spoil it but I had to double check there were no more episodes because it felt like it just stopped in the middle of the series. But on the other hand, that means bring on Season 2!!

The Package

It’s so hard to find a good comedy these days, but having said that the best one I’ve watched in a long time has to be the Package! This is the best comedy in 2018. I’ve watched it 12 times now and I would still laugh if I watched it again. It’s also my first recommendation in the movie category. The movie is a Netflix Original production and didn’t get much notice before it came out, but it should have gotten way more. I would say it’s not for kids. Do not let your child watch this, the movie itself could be classed as inappropriate but if you find inappropriate things funny then this is the comedy for you.
