The Big Picture Sex Education has kept fans wanting more for years. Laurie Nunn’s hit comedy for Netflix has taught some important lessons; not just about sex, but also about self-love, boundaries, queerness and LGBTQIA+ relationships, recovering from sexual assault, parenting, and more. All centered around the diverse cast at Moordale Secondary School.
More Characters Don't Necessarily Make More Viable Storylines Sex Education has continued to thrive mixing new characters and stories with its talented original cast. Cal’s arc in Season 3 delved into not only the struggles non-binary teenagers go through for acceptance, but also their joy and their ingenuity. Isaac not only served as a compelling rival to Otis but also as a nuanced and intimate portrayal of disability.
Did 'Sex Education' Get Too Big, Too Quick? The aliens might exist point is one example of the show getting too ridiculous at times. There are times it works; the students quickly creating an impromptu film with giant costumes showing their love for sex to get back at Hope is a bit much, but still fun. It also brings Ruby — who had been in the background following her breakup with Otis — back for a random fight with Hope to keep the film running.
Otis Needs to Study Up in Season 4 Otis has gone through quite the journey so far himself, but his ride through life reached a similar road in Season 3. Granted, he does have new journeys — his relationship with Ruby provides space for both Otis and Ruby to learn about themselves and give Otis a space to reflect. And Otis not being able to reciprocate Ruby’s expression of love is heartbreaking but also understandable; he has not gotten over Maeve.
