Abstract

The evolution of television viewers' consumption habits explains the renewal of their interests as objects of study. One of the current trends is the production of original contents by VoD streaming platforms, where fiction series starring teenagers stand out. This paper analyzes the representation of teenage characters belonging to the LGTBIQ+ community in a Netflix original series, Sex Education. This series stands out for the diversity in the typology of its characters. The results conclude that even if the intention of the series is to represent diversity in the characters’ identities, the series is based on presenting stereotypes.
