![]() ![]() This Spanish Netflix series has a seriously devoted online following, largely courtesy of its gorgeous cast and sexy antics. The reboot is watchable too, but there’s nothing like the original, especially if what you’re looking for is a teen drama with real sex appeal – never forget, Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley dated for several years while making this show – and naughtiness. It might not be as gritty as Euphoria, but what it lacks in realism it more than makes up for in drama, high stakes and intensity, given the soap opera-level schemes unfolding in season one alone. The OG and maybe still some of the best high school television out there, we recommend going back and doing a re-watch of the original Gossip Girl for the nostalgia alone. Three seasons are available on Netflix now, with a fourth and fifth in the works. And just like Euphoria, Sex Education has high production values, a great soundtrack, excellent costumes and gorgeous framing. ![]() Like Euphoria, it’s anchored by a great cast of young actors who have fantastic chemistry with each other, especially the two leads Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa, recently announced as the new Doctor Who), who have the kind of friendship everyone wanted in high school. Sex Education is lowkey some of the best television on Netflix: it’s smart, funny, stylish and very sexy, a show about high schoolers as they learn who they are and where they stand in the world. If you’re a fan of Euphoria, you’re probably already a fan of Sex Education, but we’re including it on this list anyway, just in case. A second season is coming to Paramount+ soon. This series is dark, juicy and full of twists, and is a great Euphoria stand-in, especially during the ‘90s flashback scenes. Yellowjackets is a high-concept show with a killer attitude: what if, en route to a major football tournament, a plane carrying a star high school team crashed somewhere in the Canadian wilderness? And what if in the present day, some of the survivors of the crash are being blackmailed over what, exactly, happened while they were stranded in the middle of nowhere? Yellowjackets is a twisted and addictive show that has a split timeline between the ‘90s, when a cast of great young actors including Sophie Nelisse, Ella Purnell, Courtney Eaton and Sophie Thatcher attempt to survive by any means possible out in the woods, and the present day, where a crew of survivors played by Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci – does it get better than that? – are trying to solve the mystery of their blackmail.
