So I watched season 1 of Sex Education and... I'm not sure what to think of it. On the one hand it has some interesting ideas and I kinda like the premise of the show. On the other hand I can't stop thinking that this was written by people who haven't had contact with young people for about 30 or so years.
At one point it was mentioned that the characters are supposed to be ~16 years old and I was like "oh, now that explains some things" ... I mean, these "kids" act nothing like kids at all. If you would put an actual teenager next to them, it would look like they dressed up a monkey that can't stop drooling or something.
While I was at it, I started guessing the actors ages like I did back in the days of Buffy and Co. You know, look at their skin, look at their posture, look at the hair and faces, how do they speak, etc. summarize everything together and you can guess their age pretty well. It's a fun little side game. Was pretty spot on most of the time, only with the male main character I failed ... thought he was something around 20, but he is actually 24. With his season 2 girlfriend I was wrong as well. Thought she was ~30, but she is 26. Oh well.
