Sex Education (TV Series) Episode 2 (2023) User Reviews

Getting Back on Track

[laitkin · 7/10 · 21 September 2023]

Now season four is starting to feel like the real Sex Education. While I am still very much missing the old characters who weren't kept, I am warming to a couple of the new ones.

They seemed to jump straight into the old "jealous Otis" storyline early, which was frustrating. You'd think the character would be more self-aware if his own insecurities. There are a lot of unnecessary silly hurdles to Otis and Maeve just being happy together.

It's still strange that Jacob and Ola are just gone. Ola literally named Jean's baby and now there's no sign of them.

When Sex Education first started the actors all seemed very talented straight off the bat, however the actors playing the new students don't seem as polished. I hope that aspect improves over the season.

I'm not riveted by what's happening but I am happy to keep watching.

What has happened?

Did the show cross into some alternate reality where some of the characters are familiar but nothing else resembles anything we've seen before? Are the writers high?

I hate to say this, but if the folks that scream "groomers!" want evidence, just look at season four of this show. There is every possible checkbox on the LGBTQA+ punch card checked at least once with the students at this college.

Maeve's storyline feels tacked on as an after thought. Otis has gone brain dead. For some reason Dan Levy and Hannah Gadsby are there and outside of stunt casting they serve absolutely no purpose other than looking like brother and sister. There's a sister that I couldn't care less about, alien woman is gone, and there's too many scenes with the guy in the wheelchair.

I'm probably bailing on the show. This season is AWFUL.
