without sound, you would think it was american, but they all speak British. where is it supposed to be? Could'nt stand enough of it to find out! utter garbage, waste of Gillian Andersons talent....but I suppose the money was good. Would have to be, to appear in such crap!

@kugi Of course I do not say it’s garbage because it’s British! (I am a Brit myself, and well aware of our wealth of talent) I think you misunderstand me. I was simply questioning its rather odd appearance. The high school, for example was pure Americana, so I was somewhat confused as to where it was supposed to be. Was it in an England that somehow looked like America, or in America where everyone in the town just happened to be British, or what? No, the garbage was about the total waste of time and money making such utter drivel, whoever made it-British or American! Netflix seem to spend a lot on the production of its series and films, get some big names to star in them, yet the actual plots, etc I find, are the weak point of what they do. Boring, uninteresting, and nothing to grab ones attention. Don’t get me wrong, they do produce some good things- Polar, for example, was very entertaining, but Io, Birdbox, and numerous others are very disappointing. They make more junk than gems, imho, and Sex Education definitely falls in the junk category.
People keep voting without any episode is out, is kind of ignorant.
That said, I'm really happy about this and can't wait to see it. It's from Sheridan who's the mind behind Yellowstone, one of my favorite shows. The trailer looked good.

@tgvlx Not just votes, 37 plays! Crazy.
i just found a trailer here: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2836448025?ref_=vp_rv_ap_0 This is no spoiler, because there is not the slightest hint on the plot in this trailer... Even the listed actors in trakt reveals few: Tyra, Oren are new characters without reference to the books of J.R.R. Tolkien (not even in "Silmarillion"). But i think it is pretty clear, that this movie takes place earlier than "The lord of the rings"

@handykl It's not a Movie. Of course it takes place before LOTR it's about the forging of the rings.....
As someone who hasn't read the book(s) I get the feeling, that there is information missing.
There are reactions in certain scenes where I don't understand what gets the characters so excited. They act like its obvious, while it isn't for the unknowing viewer.
I have the suspicion, that there is a section in the book explaining the reaction which wasn't translated in the show sometimes.I don't know if its true, but are the daemons all female? If so, I hope it gets explained why that is (unless I missed it).
Aside from that, great cast, great storytelling and great characters so far - Although I somehow love Marisa best so far, cunning and evil - my kind of woman :)

@player8472 I don’t think Lyra’s daemon Pan is female...
May not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is very funny (and crude) - typical British humour. 9/10

@speeddemon I see you are in Canada. As a Brit I always feel an affinity with Canadians, we do have the same Queen after all lol. I find Canadians ‘get’ the British sense of humour, whereas the US sometimes struggles with it! Glad you likes Fleabag! The writer, and star of the show also wrote the very good Killing Eve- packed with dry, and wry humour!
