The hilarious awkward series Sex Education revolves around Otis, an inexperienced high school student who decides to team up with bad girl Maeve and open an underground sex therapy clinic at school, thanks to the advice bestowed on him by his sex therapist mother. Though Otis is able-bodied, one of season two's new cast members, Isaac, uses a wheelchair, just like the actor who portrays him, George Robinson. Maeve finds a match in Isaac's quick wit, which he uses to downplay potentially awkward situations, like when he, Maeve, and Otis attend a party and he can't navigate the stairs. In this way, Isaac simply becomes another character, rather than a character whose defining feature is his wheelchair.
