BAFTAs 2021: Normal People, Sex Education and Adult Material are full of raunchy romps and all up for gongs

thesun.co.uk:

VIEWERS cannot have failed to notice all the explicit sex on TV over the past year – and neither have Bafta judges. Shows that put physical intimacy front and centre are among the most nominated for this year’s awards, with eight nods for consent drama I May Destroy You, seven for raunchy coming-of-age tale Normal People and six for teen comedy Sex Education.

There were also five apiece for Adult Material, a drama set in the porn industry, and I Hate Suzie, about a woman who has her graphic sexual photos leaked on the internet.

But don’t make the mistake of thinking this is about gratuitous bonking — in 2020, sex on screen was shown in all its raw, complicated and sometimes uncomfortable forms.
