Sex Education: 10 Best Storylines So Far

10. Jackson's Struggles With Anxiety

Jackson is a character with more ups and downs than a roller coaster at Thorpe Park. He started as a seemingly shallow jock who got in the way of Otis' crush on Maeve. However, he slowly but surely changed, becoming a far more rounded character, with this storyline acting as a stepping stone on that path.

During season one, Jackson revealed to Maeve that he's suffered from anxiety and panic attacks since he was a young boy. This is taken even further in season two after he deliberately injures his hand to avoid the pressure and anxiety of his swimming career.

Overall, this narrative developed his character brilliantly and showed that even the most extroverted people can harbour issues you can't see on the surface. It gave his relationship with Maeve a little more substance and painted him in a far more sympathetic light.

Sadly, his anxiety issues seem to be an afterthought now, as most of his story in season three saw him as a romantic interest for Cal. Here's hoping it will pick up again in season four.
