Make the Netflix show "Sex Education" an Age-15 certificate for teen access
The Netflix show is certificate 18 through its 3 seasons, and without redefining all cinema and television certification, this show can be an exemption and be a Certificate Age 15 (or 15A "parental viewing advised" ) for the benefit of teens who are legally allowed to have sex from the Age of 16
The popular Netflix show "Sex Education" tackles a number of sex subjects that need to be more accessible to the younger audiences. The show makes a very accepting, educational, and friendly view on topics that are actually very difficult in life; such as LGBTQIA+ acceptance; Safe and consensual sex; The dangers of sexual experimentation; Sexual Assault; Mental Health; Speaking about relationships. It reflects real world topics, and is not riddled with profane drug use or violence.
