REVIEWS
The Third War, by Giovanni Aloi Click to read the review
Avec ANTHONY BAJON , KARIM LEKLOU , LEÏLA BEKHTI
Queen of Glory, by Nana Mensah
Au coeur du bois, by Claus Drexel
Sex education season 3, by Laurie Nunn
Synopsis
In season 1, for those who are not familiar with the series, in Moordale High School in Wales, Maeve and Otis, sons of a sex therapist, create an underground sex therapy unit within their high school.
The series
Without giving anything away about the plot, I can tell you that season 3 is by far the best. The second one was a bit of a dud and the first one was a thunderbolt in the series universe.
Never before have sexual and identity issues been so well addressed in this series, which is aimed at teenagers and adults.
From episode to episode, Otis, Eric, Adam, Maeve, Viv, Ruby, Rahim, Ola, Lily, evolve through words. And it is precisely that which is put forward. Listening to others, their desires, their needs creates trust. The characters, both adults and teenagers, are all endearing, imperfect and so close to us that we seem to understand them in all the difficult moments they go through.
Thus the handicap, the non-binary, the teenagers who need to live in another universe like Lily, the athletes, the homosexuals, everyone is represented simply, without miserabilism, with a very realistic posture, whether it is about the sex scenes which will perhaps shock the adults more (we are not used to that and it is a pity) than the teenagers.
Adults, teachers and parents, are also imperfect, still looking for their identity, need to find their mark.
And this is the strength of “Sex Education”, to address everyone. We oscillate between laughter and tears and it’s a treat.
Sites have been created on sex education, a manual ((here) including a site on vulvas. Like what, it is never too late to learn!
A season 4 is unlikely because of the age of the actors.
Let’s enjoy this one and especially this soundtrack, a tribute to teen movies, to jazz and to the best possible rock songs: the music of “Ferris Bueller”, “Zoubizou-bizou”, the main song of Mad Men series, David Bowie, and in jazz, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers & Chet Baker. The music is composed by Oli Julian.
With Hope Haddon (Jemima Kirke from Girls), Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Connor Swindells, Mimi Keene, Aimee Lou Wood and Alistair Petrie, Chaneil Kular, Simone Ashley, Tanya Reynolds, Patricia Allison and Mikael Persbrandt, Chinenye Ezeudu, George Robinson, Conor Donovan and Sami Outalbali.
