We are not alone —in our experiences, our trauma, or on the bus.
Sex Education: It’s the Netflix Original that completely reimagined teen television as we know it. It's kind of like if every John Hughes movie, Charlie Bartlett and Skins had a baby, but written by a woman and with themes that are actually important to the 21st century. Not to mention, it’s the very definition of binge-worthy, feel-good television.
At first, Aimee brushes the incident aside. She describes it to Maeve as if it’s no big deal, but soon, Maeve convinces her that they have to go to the police station and report it. There, Aimee continues the try and write it off, but even the female police officer assures her that her feelings are valid and coming to the police was the right thing to do.
Never has a teen television series dealt with the theme of sexual assault and harassment in such a realistic, nuanced manner. This could be largely due to the fact that the creator of the series, Laurie Nunn, experienced something similar herself. Nunn was sexually harassed while on public transportation, and continued to experience panic every time she tried to ride the bus weeks after the fact. The only thing that made her feel better was sharing her experience on a feminist Facebook forum.
After sharing the story with her school mates, another one of the girls speaks up and shares her story about sexual assault. “It’s like they thought my body was theirs or something,” the teenager says after sharing her experience of being groped at the train station.
