It was a bit of a surprise, considering the main cast are rapidly becoming household names. The best-known is Gatwa, who has been cast as the next Doctor on “” and is set to be introduced to the long-running legacy series in November when it debuts on Disney+. Simone Ashley is also recognizable to audiences for her turn on “Bridgerton” season two as Kate Shah.
So why isn’t “Sex Education” a bigger deal? The name alone is problematic for an American audience, with more conservative parents wary of the concept. But it was also the show’s subject matter. “Sex Education” isn’t like your typical HBO “The Sex Lives of College Girls” or “Sex and the City,” which feature hetero girls being titillating and horny with a side of lesbianism thrown in and a gay BFF or two. It explored sex from all angles. It never demonized anything other than nonconsent.
Had the show ever gotten as big as “Stranger Things” in America, Netflix might have had to deal with how controversial Americans find some of the British attitudes that the show treated as common sense. Perhaps it would have forced the show to censor itself in a way it wouldn’t have wanted to or, worse, to end before it was ready. Though it’s unfair the series never became the breakout hit it deserved to be, by staying just under the radar, “Sex Education” can end now on its own terms.
