Teen dramas like 'I Am Not Okay With This' and 'Sex Education' teach the importance of healthy relationships, consent and acceptance.
The Politician
is full of drama, affairs, and even attempted murder, but it never uses the queerness of its characters as a plot point. Payton doesn’t even deny when his opponent Astrid Sloan makes a comment about him being more into her boyfriend during their threesome. He just tells her that attacking sexual fluidity will not win her the position of class president. Payton’s campaign manager James is trans, but his identity is never discussed. There is no transphobia. No storyline about his transition.
The reboot also handles sex with responsibility -- framing it as something to be enjoyed when you are ready, not feared and demonized. When Sabrina is trying to decide if she wants to engage in a sexual ritual with her boyfriend, her best friend Rosalind gives her one of the best checklists for deciding if you want to go all the way: Do you like him? Do you trust him? Is he pressuring you?
