"Heartbreak High"

Comedy, Romance | 4.16 out of 5 on MyShows | Season 1 | 2022— ...

"Heartbreak High" is often referred to as Australia's version of "Sex Education": the series also tackles issues of sex education, orientation, self-acceptance, shame, self-esteem and growing up.

The project tells about Amerie, who created a map on which were marked all the intimate relationships of students at Hartley School for the last school year. Because of this, Amerie becomes an outcast and the high school students are required to take sex education classes, which will be taught by English teacher Josephine Obah.

"I liked it, it was like taking the best of all the popular TV series and combining them here. The whole agenda (in a good way) is so harmoniously woven into the plot, engaging and moving. Cool characters, all insanely beautiful, interesting, different. Even no one particularly annoyed, just appeared questions to some of the actions, but so it turned out even more interesting", — marinagee.

"The Sex Lives of College Girls"

Comedy | 4.15 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2021— ...

The project is about four freshman roommates living in a dorm at a prestigious college in New England. The girls are completely different from each other and see the world in their own way, so when they are together, there is never a dull moment.

"The Sex Lives of College Girls" is the adult version of "Sex Education". Sexuality and relationships are explored here, too, and the approach to these topics is as funny and friendly as the Netflix series.

"Well-drawn characters immediately fall into the heart and make you empathize, and the jokes, if not burst into laughter, then definitely smile. Keep in mind, you will be waiting for a lot of topics that you love and hate so much: queer diversity, polyamory, feminism, inequality, harassment, racism and so on. And this is where the show's genius comes in: it shows the pros of the modern liberal agenda and skillfully highlights the absurdity and harm of its cons. The Sex Lives of College Girls is a kind, funny and social series about women (but not only) that makes the world a better place by making us better understand each other and ourselves. Don't miss it", — bucket_man.

"Never Have I Ever"

Comedy, Drama, Romance | 4.18 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2020—2023

A teen drama about how hard it can be to grow up. Watch for anyone who misses the charming and empathic stories about high schoolers who want to but can't avoid making mistakes.

The series is about 15-year-old Devi, an Indian-American high school student. She wants to become popular, but her friends, family, and feelings only make that task more difficult. It doesn't help that last year Devi, after experiencing the death of her father, couldn't walk for three months, and now the whole school knows her as "that girl in the wheelchair."

"One of the best teen series I've ever watched! Pulled me in from the moment it came out from the very first episode. All the characters are well loved, so a little sad to say goodbye to them. The series was kind, light and fun, but at the same time touched on important topics. It was interesting to watch the characters grow and the relationships between them develop", — regina_glesser.

"Bad education"

Comedy | 3.89 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2012—2020

If you love "Sex Education" not for its complex themes and realistic drama, but for its absurd British humor and vivid characters, "Bad Education" is for you.

Alfie Wickers is a young history teacher and one of the worst teachers in the UK education system. Alfie wants the best for his students, but he hasn't grown up yet himself and spends more time trying to appear cool in front of his colleague Rosie than he does on lessons. Despite his obvious shortcomings, Alfie's position in the school is stable thanks to the headmaster, who dreams of being just like Alfie.

"My God, this is a masterpiece! A marvelous series that I watched just in one breath. I never got attached to the atmosphere of the series and the characters so quickly. The first series caused a reaction of "what the hell is going on here", but this is just the case when the further - the better. Each series was interesting from and to, the jokes were on the level (oh this English humor), the actors are very pleased with their performance (for this I love such a British small series, they know how to shoot)", — astaseas.

"Skins"

Drama, Comedy | 4.07 out of 5 on MyShows | 7 Seasons | 2007—2013

Another teen series from the UK, bringing up controversial topics and frankly talking about the lives and problems of high schoolers. Also, Maeve from "Sex Education" is often compared to Effy.

The show is about teenagers from Bristol, who will soon finish school, but still can not grow up and just enjoy life to the fullest: constant parties, casual sex, drugs, and other entertainment that all young people are so eager to try. At the same time, they each have their own issues they are trying to deal with: unrequited love, sexual identity awareness, eating disorders, mental issues, teen pregnancy, and more.

"The bold and sincere drama, filled with charismatic actors and actresses, quickly won the hearts of audiences. Many Skins stars are now actively conquering movie studios: Kaya Scodelario, Nicholas Holt, Dev Patel, Hannah Murray, Jack O`Connell, Joe Dempsey and others. The main characters of the series, Bristol high school students who looked at authority figures with disdain and searched for their place in life, became a source of reflection for people around the world. "Skins" hasn't been a cause for heated discussion for a long time, but it's still one of the most brilliant dramas on television, and arguably the best teen British drama, with a unique take on youth and growing up. Personally, it's one I'll never forget. Thank you", — bucket_man.

"Big Mouth"

Comedy, romance, fantasy | 4.09 out of 5 on MyShows | 6 seasons | 2017— ...

"Big Mouth" is definitely not the first project that comes to mind at the mention of Sex "Education". However, the shows are remarkably similar: both are hilarious about puberty and the shame associated with it. That said, both shows successfully blend comedy and serious themes while hiding an honest story about the awkwardness of growing up behind the crude humor.

"Big Mouth" is about Nick, Andrew, and friends. They live in upstate New York, go to high school, grow up and meet their hormonal monsters who begin to control the behavior of young teens.

"A terrific series, for sure. Wildly intelligent, adult, and funny. Great characters, lively, sincere, and complex in their growing up, as it happens. The coolest thing is that with literal sexual organs in almost every episode, the show doesn't slip into vulgarity, but just the opposite, showing a full understanding of what and how the creators want to tell. An important series and a necessary one", — Bullseye0901.

"The End of the F***ing World"

Comedy, Drama | 4.12 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2017—2019

A withdrawn 17-year-old teenager, James thinks he's a psychopath and dreams of killing a man. Alyssa is his rebellious classmate who wants to run away from her troubled home life to the father who abandoned her years ago. The boys meet at school and decide to go away together.

If you're looking for a series about British school kids, their growing up and budding sexuality, then "The End of the F***ing World" is for you. It and "Sex Education" have different tones, but both shows similarly show what it means to be a teenager.

"At first sight and straight to the list of favorite shows! You experience the full range of emotions: fun, fear, sadness, bewilderment, delight - and all in the highest degree. And the filming, music, and lines are gorgeous. You want to screen and screen everything in a row. The style of narration somehow reminded Wes Anderson. The association with "Kingdom of the Full Moon" came even earlier than with Bonnie and Clyde", — couchantea.
