What BollyAI Thinks

Season 1 launched in January 2019 and earned 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from 80 critics. The premise - socially awkward Otis Milburn running a sex-advice clinic out of a school toilet while navigating his own anxieties - gave the show a conceptual hook that reviewers found surprisingly mature. Critics clustered on the warmth of its ensemble and the show's refusal to mock its characters for their inexperience. The Guardian noted that the show's comedy has genuine depth beneath its surface setup. NME called it "a teen show that's surprisingly mature about sex." Audience reception was strong, and the 8-episode first run established an Americana-inflected British school setting that became the show's signature aesthetic.
