The breakout star of Netflix’s Sex Education is a champion of representation – and uninhibited style

NCUTI GATWA

SOMETIMES AN ACTOR IS SO PERFECTLY CAST in a role that it seems as if it might as well have been the eleventh commandment. In this case, I’d like to thank any and all deities responsible for casting Ncuti Gatwa as the scene-stealing spark of light, wit and heart on Netflix’s Sex Education.

The British series follows Otis Milburn, a student at Moordale Secondary School whose mother is a sex therapist by trade. Otis decides to launch his own sex therapy practice for his schoolmates, and they learn everything the curriculum doesn’t teach.
