I was so caught up in trying to do the right thing. I lost track of what that actually is. Its you. Its always been you. 


Spoilers ahead... 

Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) tries to explore his new relationship with Ola Nyman (Patricia Allison) while still continuing the sex clinic secretly at the high school with Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey). Meanwhile, Maeve still got feelings for Otis that she didn't tell him, as she deals with her drug addict mom and a new neighbour Isaac (George Robinson). Things are about to get absurd when Otis learns his mom Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson) is dating his girlfriend's dad Jakob Nyman (Mikael Persbrandt). And there's Otis best friend Eric Effiong (Ncuti Gatwa) who learns that the new guy at school, Rahim (Sami Outalbali) has fallen for him but Eric is confused since he can't forget Adam Groff (Connor Swindells). Also, there is Aimee Gibbs (Aimee Lou Wood) who goes through a sexual assault on bus that starts affecting her daily life. While Jackson Marchetti (Kedar Williams-Stirling) struggles to cope with the pressure put on by his moms and recovering from Maeve's heartbreak as he finds a good friend in Viv Odesanya (Chinenye Ezeudu).

Sooo much is going on in this rom-com series that has sex education as backdrop. For me 1st season was very fun despite it having many cliche or typical romantic moments. They start with Otis having erect problems, which is fun and good that they don't really overdo it, quickly moving to how Otis is constantly struggling to take relation with Ola to next level in terms of sex. You very well know its matter of time before Otis is back with Maeve.

I quite loved the Jackson track, how he finds a new alternative career choice with help of Viv. Also, I like Jean-Jakob together so it was kind of sad to see Jean let him go away though there's definately the scope they might be back next season. With Eric's plot I believe in what Otis says to him that loving a guy like Adam who bullied him for many years is a very odd thing. Many times I feel for Adam but then its hard to say if he has really changed. With Rahim, I have same opinion as Eric's mom had, you could just see Eric was never himself and tried too hard to be someone else. Quite a complicated plot involving these three, as Rahim said in the end to Eric.. that Adam may hold his hand but may not catch him. Have to wait and watch.

Adam's dad Michael Groff (Alistair Petrie) is probably most irritating character of show, good to see him told to take break, I would either want nothing of him in next season or some kind of change happening in him. Aimee Gibbs was fun to watch again, she kind of reminds me of Phoebe from Friends, the way she talks or behaves sometimes. That play on Romeo-Juliet take I would say I would never ever wanna see it again, which I am hoping was the intention behind the way its shot, as its the point of view of Lily Iglehart (Tanya Reynolds) who plays a very wierd student at school. Songs mostly are well used, love 'Sexy boy' when a dirty talk leads to sex between two teachers or the emotional romantic 'Mystery of love' that fits both Jean's story and Eric remembering  Adam. 'Bashed Out' and 'Thank You For The Offer' were my other favourite tracks.

This season had very less of Otis-Maeve together, and the bitter ending of that stupid Issaac (I just can't control anger towards him) makes me wonder if we might have to wait another whole season to see them unite. Because there might be a track of Otis and Ruby Matthews (Mimi Keene) develop thanks to the way Otis handles the party he throws going full drunk and saying shitty things. 




From gays to lesbians to bisexual to pansexual to asexual, this season covered all of that, along with the therapist advices on sexual problems, but Sexual Education yet is a teenager based rom-com that delivers on many levels and has many stories to bind together still in future. I don't think I can seperately rate both seasons, so its very much on same wavelength.  Please please, surprise me with Isaac admitted his mistake or Maeve somehow knowing about it rather than making us watch them get into any kind of relation!

My Rating : 7.5/10
