My wife and I binge watched Sex Education on Netflix earlier this month and highly recommend it.
It was thoughtful, and funny, and simply entertaining. There was only one heteronormative moment that we spotted...and we're pretty eagle-eyed about that kind of thing.
I've watched a ton of TV in my day and I definitely don't mind consuming hours of vapid fluff. It's just a delight when that fluff reflects some of the gorgeous, multi-faceted tapestry of real-life. As a non-straight, woman of color, I'm an expert at projecting my experience onto the inevitable white, straight, male protagonists that dominate most TV/film.
That said, it's brilliant when I don't have to.
p.s. If you're looking for some thrilling vapid fluff, I highly recommend Killing Eve.
