Sex Education: 10 Best Storylines So Far

Sex Education is a show that has a lot of fun, but that doesn't mean it's a stranger to some harrowing truths about the plight of prejudice. This moment brought that to life in a devastating way.

The storyline showed as Eric and Otis dressed in drag and set off to watch a screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. However, after Otis got distracted by Maeve and didn't turn up, Eric was left on his own. This lead to him being physically assaulted by a pair of men.

The whole episode builds tension masterfully, as Eric being on his own in such a flamboyant costume is obviously leading somewhere dangerous. When it eventually does, you feel almost personally attacked by it.

There's also a distinct believability to the assault, especially in Eric's reaction afterwards, as he's in shock and doesn't know how to react when people offer him help.

Overall, the storyline is painful to watch, but it's raw, honest, and gives viewers something meaty to bite on.
