Hi ～BOBO今天来安利一部英剧～
就是--《Sex Education》：
看过的同学会对今天的内容感兴趣，没看过的也一定要看这部适合练习英音的好剧哦！
“烂番茄“评分～
作为网飞（Netflix）平台2019年开年大戏，英剧《性教育》（Sex Education）的表现吸引了一大片剧迷，包括BOBO。今年年初出了第二季，BOBO准备存着慢慢看～当然也要仔细反复学习里面的表达，所以要反复看～
「为何要反复看剧？可以截这篇底部的Q&ABobo，我看过的电影美剧多了去了，为啥我还是不会说？」
故事发生在英国某个小镇（威尔士拍摄的，风光美得受不了，小伙伴们不要错过啊），高中生欧帝斯（Otis）的母亲是一名性与亲密关系咨询师（sex and relationships therapist），从小耳濡目染的他也继承了衣钵。欧帝斯的同学梅芙则从中发现了商机，她劝说欧帝斯在学校里设立秘密咨询服务，欧帝斯最终造福了许多“无可救药”的同学。

在女主去医院流产时，护士的眼神充满关爱而不是同情
Eric的父亲说“你要想继续这样的生活，你就得坚强起来”，是鼓励而不是嫌弃、诧异..
今天我们来看一篇这部剧的剧评，摘自《The Atlantic》（大西洋月刊）：
Asa Butterfield (Hugo, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas) plays Otis, a teenager living in a geographically indistinct community that looks like New England but sounds like an episode of Skins (it was actually filmed in Wales). The bane of his life is that his mother (Anderson) is a sex and relationships therapist who festoons their house with phallic art and warns his school friends about marijuana use leading to early-onset impotence. Otis has a long-burning crush on Maeve (Emma Mackey), an enigmatic rebel living alone in a caravan site (British for trailer park) who wants to use Otis’s parentage for profit: She sees his potential as the school’s sex guru.
男主Asa Butterfield小时候演过《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》
难怪这么可爱，原来是吃小可爱长大的！

Never mind that Otis is a virgin so scarred by his family history that he can’t even masturbate. Moordale High is populated entirely with horny and hopelessly confused students in need of a counselor.

Laurie Nunn, the playwright who created the show, employs old-school archetypes, too: Students are shoved into lockers and robbed of their lunch money, and the hierarchy of who’s cool leans on meanness and money. But Sex Education’s anxieties are modern ones, spanning porn and transphobia and erotic fiction about intergalactic alien sex.
像极了幼儿园的小男生为了装酷欺负自己喜欢的人
Adam is watching you...表面上帅气酷炫喜欢欺负人的Adam, 内心是个温柔渴望爱情父爱的小可爱 看他的画
Adam的画，可爱！！这也说明了喜欢bully别人的人其实内心是脆弱痛苦的...为了遮掩自己的脆弱，用欺负别人来给自己壮胆？！

Otis falls almost accidentally into his new hobby when he talks down a bully who’s taken too many Viagra pills and is panicking in an abandoned bathroom stall. Otis’s serene manner and empathetic advice impress Maeve, who starts hawking his time to the school’s more sexually dysfunctional students (which is all of them). His clients call him a “sex savant,” or a “Care Bear,” or a “mum man”. But he does help them, in the end.
And, by extension, he helps viewers. Like Big Mouth, Sex Education has all kinds of advice to offer regarding the confusing and impossibly complicated realm of modern sexuality. The show is graphic, gross, and inherently earnest: No matter how mortifying Otis might find his mother, he’s internalized her refusal to judge anyone.
Sex Education—a show that’s sensitive and sweet-natured and smutty to its core—seems to hint that no matter how bad it looks out there, there’s hope to be had after all.
