Sex Education

Probably the best production Netflix has ever done so far. By the way it's not just for teenagers I'm 67

Sex Education Season 1-4

As far as I know this is the final season, I have just finished it so I will do an overall show review but first a small S4 review

Season 4

Not what I had been expecting after a 2 year wait, my honest thoughts is the show just went a little to much and lost its spark, it tried to do so much in the final season it felt messy.

The main story is of Otis in competition with O for a new sex clinic in college. They battle it out while he also deals with a long distance relationship with Meave who moved to the USA for college to become a writer. Eric is coming more and more into himself and discovering his purpose of the corse of the season, Jean is dealing with the baby while also hosting a new radio show, her sister comes to town to top it off.

We get a smattering of characters this season, some good some not so, I think they had maybe too many story lines going on, some of them were a bit much for me, also I'm not sure if they are trying to be real or hyper real but this college does not exist in the UK, just no. This college of acceptance where people come to feel part of a people, it was just gloomy and depressing covered up with bright colours, it didn't feel like the show at all. Disappointing season I'd give a 6.5/10

The whole show is quite good, S1-3 definitely the best and all have strong points in each season, for me Eric is the absolute best in this show, brining joy, laughter and a character who isn't out just for themselves, someone to really root for. Gillian Anderson is fantastic as Otis mom. She is really funny in the first few seasons.

The key takeaway would be 1-3 are great, 4 was mediocre with a poor ending, worth a watch as the show is a solid 8/10.

The first three seasons were spectacular, but the forth season is awful. They went from an insightful, witty show about coming of age to cliche and awkward. What a waste of a talent and three years of character building.

The situations in the first three seasons felt real, if not a bit rushed, but the characters were well developed. Now they're all charactertures of the originals. You cared about what happend to them. Now, I really don't. Also, too many of the story lines from the first three seasons have been dropped. I know they lost several actors to other shows, but it's like they just rebooted the show. Alas, as i was really looking forward to the final season.

Do yourself a favor, binge first three seasons and pretend the show got canceled before they had a chance to make the final season.

**Review of "Sex Education" Season 4**

I recently finished watching the fourth season of "Sex Education," and I must admit that I'm quite disappointed with the direction the series has taken. The first three seasons were a delightful blend of humor, heartfelt storytelling, and character development, but this season left me feeling like it missed the mark.

One of the major issues I encountered was the lack of a cohesive and engaging storyline. In previous seasons, the plotlines were well-crafted and kept me eagerly anticipating what would happen next. However, in season 4, it felt like the story was all over the place, lacking a clear and satisfying narrative arc.

The introduction of new characters also left much to be desired. Unlike the well-developed characters we've come to love, the new additions felt shallow and lacked depth. It seemed like they were introduced merely for the sake of expanding the cast rather than contributing meaningfully to the story. The focus on side cast was way too much that it annoyed me...They should have just given more screen time to main cast for which we have been waiting...

Moreover, I couldn't help but notice that this season appeared to prioritize the promotion of LGBTQ+ themes at the expense of other essential storylines. While it's important to address such topics sensitively, it felt like an overload, overshadowing the other compelling aspects that made the show great.

My biggest disappointment, however, was the lack of closure for several key storylines. What about Otis, Ruby, or Maeve? It felt like their character arcs were left hanging without any resolution. Maeve's character, in particular, seemed to regress to where she started in the beginning of the season, which left me feeling unsatisfied.

In light of these issues, I can't help but give "Sex Education" Season 4 a rating of 4 out of 10. It's a disappointing and, at times, boring conclusion to a series that had so much potential. It's disheartening to witness the decline of what was once a very promising and enjoyable show.

I am so surprised by this show! I'm a 38 year old dude who wouldn't even really consider watching a show like this. I just randomly clicked it because I was bored before going to bed. I typically watch documentaries and shows in the style of The Wire or Game of Thrones. Everything about this show is great! The vibrant acting, the story narrative, the gorgeous cinematography, the absolutely stunning location (Penarth, South Wales), the great characters, the relationships between characters, and Gillian Anderson! I'm also not a fan of sex being portrayed in films and tv because it's usually cringe-worthy, but this is fun and educational. It's like a coming of age film that's really fun but deals with important and complex subjects. I don't typically get hooked on shows but you got me Netflix! Cheers! Well done.
