(Just a personal brain hole, and only the general rule, there must be exceptions, but it is not so common)
After watching a lot of British and American youth dramas, I found that although the jokes and stalks are inseparable, British and American dramas have a completely different focus.
For example, in British dramas, even though so much yellow waste is flying all over the sky, the main hidden charm of the heroine is still that she reads books and listens to songs, and also reads a lot of niche books related to Lu Quan and philosophy, and listens to rock. In Skin, the male protagonist also reads books and participates in the chorus, which are all regarded as symbols of his charm. But in American TV shows like American Pie, the chorus usually represents the less popular nerd. I rarely see any American youth drama protagonist who likes to read books (the Big Bang Theory should not count...)
In British dramas, the most popular people on campus are generally children who read books, have good grades, have a taste in music, and have a good family background, such as the handsome male protagonist of Skin. In American TV series, the most popular are generally athletes (football players) or cheerleaders. With an empty head and a mess of grades, you can be a bastard, as long as you have a good face and a good figure, you are at the top of the food chain. For example, the girl group in mean girl.
Many heroines of British youth dramas like smoky makeup + fishnet socks + dark rock outfits (in American films such as Butterfly Effect, rock lovers are generally fringe groups) and American heroines are definitely candy-colored tights Clothes + hip skirt + high heels.
If Sex Education is an American youth drama, I even feel that the male protagonist is more likely to be the tall and brainless Adam, or Maeve's cynical and clever brother, or the athlete Jackson.
