Dd (16) and I to watch? She’s seen InBetweeners and Sex Education but we didn’t watch them together. Thanks 😊

There is a lot of sex in it! I wouldn’t watch it with my mum.

There's a lot of sex and nudity. So depends on how you feel about that!

QueenArnica · 01/05/2020 10:52

Yeah I thought that, we’re close but she might feel a bit awkward. Thank you! Smile

So many bloody things I want to watch but either ds 15 ends up in his room, or I go to mine! This is on my list Grin now I know I'll need to be upstairs, may as well watch Feel good and flea bag while I'm there Blush

@subeccoo You have to watch Fleabag, it’s amazing!

I turned it off when ds 15 came in the room. He would've cringed in to the middle of next week otherwise.

It’s really good about highlighting the importance of consent so, if the embarrassment factor isn’t an issue, it would be a great thing to watch together. The first two episodes are bloody slow though!

Waffles80 · 01/05/2020 11:29

I think it’s really good! There’s a conversation about consent in an early episode which should be compulsory viewing for all teenagers.

I don’t think she would want to watch it WITH you due to the amount of sex, though. Not that the sex is inappropriate but teens might be uncomfortable watching the in the same room as parents!

QueenArnica · 02/05/2020 10:35

@Waffles80 I started watching yesterday without dd and am hooked already!

And I totally agree, the consent scene was incredible and beautiful, should be used as sex Ed in schools instead of the stupid video of the man and woman cartoons running around with a feather Hmm
