Sex Education

"This collection maps the origins of the Netflix series Sex Education in relation to the genre of teenage high school dramas and comedies, exploring the four-season narrative arc and analysing the principal themes and characters. It considers the aesthetics of the series and its main philosophical, ethical and political aspects. It investigates the creative process behind the ground-and-taboo-breaking series, examining it as a cultural product that is both old and new in that it relies on tried and tested generic formulae while also being responsive to new identity formations"--
