Sex Education

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

Just thought I'd write this after reading some early comments. These are meant to be 16-18 year olds in sixth form college. I can't speak for all seperate sixth-form colleges, but the one I attended did not have a uniform, was based in an old mansion and yes even in the UK we'd occasionally throw an American Football around. Just because it's not the expected experience doesn't mean it doesn't occur.

It may feel alien to most, but the environment felt very nostalgic to myself. Now the storyline premise, that's a whole different story!

As for the plot, at least it's original and two episodes in it hasn't disappointed.

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.

Never have I ever seen a show go from so good to so bad so quickly. I said it has officially jumped the rainbow shark. Did they fire the writers and hire a bunch of teenaged boys to write season 4. The college is ridiculous, a lot of the new characters couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag, and our fav character went from being out fav to dreading when he would be back onscreen.

What id like to know is how it could go from so good to so bad. I love diverse characters and have no issues with some of the new ones, but we don't need everything forced down our throats. We finished the season as quickly as possible because as we kept saying to each other "let's just get it over with!".

I am an 80 year old retired psychologist and I am totally enchanted with each and every one of these characters. Life is messy, their lives are messy, and they find ways to deal with and cope with real situations. The acting is wonderful, the stories are wonderful, the filming is wonderful...Simple, free advice? Watch it.
