Personal Experience: When I first started watching this show it took some getting adjusted to. The writing was a little sloppy, and it was easy to tell that it needed some work. However, this show probably also had to figure out how to address issues that aren't often talked about, which is what makes it the best show in the first place. As a young adult I've learned more from this show than I ever did during my school's mandated sex education, which was abstinence based. It also felt empowering to me as a biological woman because when I was in 8th grade all the girls were being taught that they're less valuable if they're not virgins and that although there's certain ways to prevent against pregnancy, there's no guarantee our partners(assumed to be male) would still want us. Then in my sophomore highschool health class they framed it as if women are almost guaranteed to be abandoned if they do happen to get pregnant. Gay and lesbian sex were never talked about, which as a bi person I had no idea what to expect if I were to date somebody of the same sex. This show illustrated the fact that you can still be loved even if you had sex and that your virginity isn't what defines your value. That women deserve to be pleasured just as men deserve to be as well, and taught about more than just abstinence and straight sex. It brings light to the Lgbtqa+ community in terms of sex, the stigma around our bodies, sex, and more. So personally, I love this show for it's progressive nature and I love that as the series moves forward that the writing and plot have continued improving. I can't wait for a season 4.
