Best two reviews:
1) IndieWire - One of the best things about this show is the fact that so many of these characters do feel like kids--not hyper-articulate young adults, but scrambling teenagers who don’t really know how they feel about anything--they just know they feel it. (Rating: 91) Read Full Review >
2) Entertainment Weekly - Sex Education blends teen sex-romp tropes with a refreshing level of empathy. [11 Jan 2019, p.44] (Rating: 91) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
12) Rolling Stone - Anderson is a comic delight. (Her enthusiastic delivery of the phrase “man milk” will stay with you.) And unsurprisingly, she’s terrific in the more dramatic moments when Jean tries to help her son deal with his own trauma. Butterfield is enormously charming, palpably vulnerable and deft with the jokes, like the hero of a movie John Hughes wrote for a young John Cusack but never got to make. ... A standout new teen comedy. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >
13) USA Today - "Sex" is not for everyone (pun intended), but if you're game for explicit scenes and dialogue and appreciate English wit, it's a cheerfully hilarious (but safely distant) return to puberty. If any series can make adult viewers appreciate getting past that life stage, it's this one. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >
