Sex Education (2019–2023)
4/10
Obsessed with diversity.

Warning: Spoilers
The idea is interesting. Otis' mother is a sex therapist and he begins selling second hand sex and relationship advice to his high school peers. Otis is straight and white and his best friend is the openly gay, black Eric. Eric is having an interracial gay relationship with Adam. Otis is having an interracial relationship with Ola. Ola is the daughter of an interracial marriage. But Ola yearns for a lesbian interracial relationship with Lily. And Otis yearns for the straight, white Maeve who is dating black swimmer Jackson. Jackson's parents are an interracial lesbian couple. Throw in a few more gay characters, a disabled man, and a mother with substance abuse issues and you get the idea that this is a show as much if not more about diversity than about its own plot.

As Seinfeld said, "Not that there's anything wrong with that." But it often overpowers the story lines which seem contrived in order to add more and more relationships featuring diversity.
