'Naked Education' falls into some of the traps a lot of Channel 4 shows with nudity fall into, however, this series has a lot to teach us. It manages to illustrate the lack of understanding teenagers have of the human body, and why it's important for the education system and parents to teach children and teenagers about the human body. It shows us that most teenagers experience body image issues, seemingly because of the lack of understanding. I learned a lot about from it myself. So, for it's educational value, it's a must watch.
The backlash the show received for showing teenagers nude bodies is exactly why the show exists. To teach people that the human body isn't a thing to be ashamed of, and that each body is different, and that's okay.
The show also shows people with low body image pushing their limits to help achieve higher self-confidence, and to love their own body. Which could be beneficial for people going through similar things.
The segments where people with similar experiences share what they've been through is very eye-opening. To hear what people have been through, and about topics people tend not to talk about, is very fascinating, and hopefully has a positive impact on the viewers.
I do think it has it's flaws. The music is a bit emotionally manipulative (as is the case with many similar shows). I wasn't a massive fan of the host, Anna Richardson. She wasn't a bad host, but I think she was a bit too over-enthusiastic at times, pushing the show away from the serious tone it probably should've had. I also think it would've been better if they showed things the viewers could do if they were struggling with body image. Things they could do on their own, since we can't all go on a naked bike ride or do a bit of life modelling.
All in all, a good show, worth watching, and anyone giving it a 1 star review clearly hasn't seen it. Give it a chance, you'll definitely learn something valuable.
