Sex Education Season 3 has finally arrived on Netflix, upping the ante with more raucous teenage sex scenes, a field trip to Paris, and the introduction of Jemima Kirke’s character, who’s a complete 180 from Jessa on
Girls. The show’s soundtrack, which primarily features tracks by Ezra Furman, has habitually been second to none, although it’s the show’s glee club-style take on
Peaches’s “
Fuck the Pain Away” that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. There’s something so absurdly hilarious about hearing a teenage a cappella order croon, “Sucking on my titties like you wanted me / Callin’ me all of the time like Blondie,” nevertheless any time if they turn its raunchy chorus into a Queen-esque anthemic roar, you can’t help although dance along. —
