More traditionally seen as interested in more superficial issues – I think that Sex Education isn’t interested in more superficial issues because the actor George Robinson is disabled in real life which means that throughout the show he will experience real life events; there will therefore be a deeper meaning for the character Isaac. His relationship with Maeve represents that people don’t have to discriminate or be mean just because someone is disabled and doesn’t function like everyone else, they’re still the same person that they always have been. Their relationship highlights this and shows how Sex Education isn’t necessarily interested in more superficial issues. Having an actor who is disabled in real life is admirable because characters are often played by people who aren’t in wheelchairs in real life which implies a lack of consideration; however, using George Robinson to play Isaac is significant as he uses a wheelchair in real life and it represents a disability in a more real and heartfelt way.

Representation of particular groups – Many groups are being represented in Sex Education, including different races/ethnicity, people with disabilities, many different personalities etc. Isaac is being represented as having a disability which adds a sense of diversity to the show because it shows how the show is inclusive and doesn’t exclude people just because of what they’re like. The representation of having George Robinson play Isaac in the show is significant as he said he can empathise with the character. Although Isaac and Maeve grow a good relationship with each other in the show, the actors who played them (George Robinson and Emma Mackey) have developed a good relationship in real life which shows how different people can work together and be friends even if their background or situation is completely different.
