"I think that eric lives in a council estate which will be in/near the centre of town, otis lives on the outskirts same as aimee (possibly the same road/area) maeve's trailer park is probably just outside the town but the opposite side," one person suggested. Schauer wasn't convinced, though, responding, "Okay so sure but why would Eric bike to Otis then?"
prevnext'Who knows'
also why can maeve just go over a moutain and be basically in town but otis has to bike thru a whole ass forest

"Who knows what the f- is going on w that town's layout like,,, where tf are the office buildings? why r there so many fields? WHAT DOES THE HILL ABOVE OTIS'S HOUSE OVERLOOK," asked somebody else.
prevnext'Absolutely no sense'
This might help, this is where the school they filmed at is in wales, even the town itself branches of in so many directions with forest and fields between them, a few larger houses in the foot hills :) pic.twitter.com/ZC4zynmSAa

"It makes absolutely no sense," added one fan. "Also there's somehow a bus that runs through there??? What??? I feel like they're biking/walking 10 miles all the time."
prevnext'Where is the actual town?'
The entire town is a Mobius strip and the school is glued to a popsicle stick suspended from a string hanging in the center. Hope this helps

"And like, where Eric lives seems to be kind of in a development (so maybe more towards the city centre???) except like WHERE IS THE ACTUAL TOWN?" asked another. "There's the pharmacy ola worked at and that's like the only place they go."

When Schauer followed up her commentary with a tweet noting that "if the creators of Sex Edcuation released a Game of Thrones type layout of the town I think it would answer half of my questions about the show," several Sex Education fans responded with self-created maps of Moordale.

"Okay sure but every morning Eric bikes to otis's house," Schauer wrote in response to the above map. "If this was the layout Otis should bike to Eric's house and then they go to school."
prevnextExplanation
As a brit, none of these things are the reasons the setting doesn't make sense. If you're american you're watching the show through an american lens so a lot of it makes sense to you that doesn't over here. The town isnt supposed to exist in a sensical way theres no place like it

"The show is intentionally impossible to place in either England or America, city or country, contemporary or nostalgic," responded another person. "It is a stylistic choice to make it a little bit ~off~ and a universe in and of itself."
