Plots(1)

Meet Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) – an inexperienced, socially awkward high school student who lives with his mother, a sex therapist. Surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis is a reluctant expert on the subject. When his home life is revealed at school, Otis realizes that he can use his specialist knowledge to gain status. He teams up with Maeve, a whip-smart bad-girl, and together they set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their fellow students’ weird and wonderful problems. Through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realises he may need some therapy of his own. (Netflix)

Season 3 (2021) (S03) 

English The third season of Sex Education is in the same spirit and quality as the previous two and this is enough to be satisfied, because the rule of many series is that the quality goes down as the seasons go on, so thank God. We're still following extremely bizarre character archetypes that don't change much and keep going round and round, which isn't even a complaint because some of the characters are so entertaining that they're a pleasure to watch. I still feel a bit like the humor has been gradually diminishing since the first season and the drama has been increasing until the last episodes, when the comedy aspect is almost abandoned and it's purely drama, but fortunately it doesn't matter because Sex Education has created such stable, engaging and entertaining characters in these three seasons that it’s impossible not to devour their fates as much as possible. The only complaint I have is the overly political correctness around LGBTQ and god knows what else. Sure, a show like this can't do without it, but does every episode to have to mention an LGBT or non-binary character and their problem with being categorized as male/female? I don't know, it kind of bothers me. All in all, a decent and entertaining series that holds its quality and once again baited the next season with a proper dramatic cliffhanger, but I would have liked a bigger plot boom so it doesn't slip into a stereotype over time ()

Season 4 (2023) (S04) 

English The fourth season slips into the waters of mediocrity and kind of gets caught up in today's trendy times, and in trying to please all of today's weirdos, it kind of forgets to be normal and be the kind of show we loved the first season for, pleasantly and casually entertaining and from the lives of ordinary people. Because in the new season, there's a downright glut of all the LQBTQRSTUV communities, homosexuals, rainbow people and weirdheads, and all the "normals" kind of go by the wayside. Likewise, when the show doesn't know where to go next, it reaches for the easiest thing it can think of, which is to do another relationship and throw in a love scene. This pretty much loses any interesting plot developments, original and surprising relationships or simply the desire to finish the series with gusto and I rather just forced myself into the next episodes without much enjoyment. The comedic elements have dwindled anyway and it's just a rehashing of old things and a wringing of attention on Netflix. Maybe it's time to call it quits...? ()
