The Netflix description: "How does it work? Simple. You just put the ... in the ... and then THAT goes ... Sorry, kids. Your teacher is a virgin."
The life lesson: If your sex education teacher is hesitant about the mechanics of intercourse... then you'd probably learn more from a copy of Razzle. Or you could embarrass the hell out of your teacher.

The Netflix description: "Most monsters come from behind. But this tall, dark, hook-handed man looks you right in the face."

The Netflix description: "Life needs an ark. Earth needs a purge. Astonishing things happen when mud and blood truly converge."

The Netflix description: "One is blind. One is a juvenile delinquent. They make a pretty good cross-country running team."
