Hi all, I’m back at it again
with another review -you didn’t see that one coming did you hahah.
Today, I wanted to
write about one of my favourite series in the entire World, Sex Education the
second series. And while I know I’m late to the party with this review, here’s
my opinion of how I thought ‘Sex Education’ developed in terms of its
storylines and its characters.
We get to meet our
favourite characters again, Otis (who is still as awkward as ever), Maeve (the
rock chick who gives zero f’s), Eric (the most caring friend of them all) and
Otis’ mum (the most embarrassing parent of them all, with a heart of gold).
However, we also get to meet some new characters like Rahim who is introduced
earlier on, while Isaac is introduced early on, but his development plays a
huge part in the series two finale. We also get deeper insight into the
residents of Mooredale High (majority of the teachers, and some of the school
kids from last term).
Last we saw of Maeve
was that she left school and had broken up with her previous boyfriend to give
things a try with Otis, however as she saw Ola and Otis kissing outside his
house, their time hadn’t begun, and we see her working in a waffle-house when
Season 2 begins. For Otis, his ‘sex clinic’ with Maeve has taken a backseat as
she is obviously not there, but his relationship with Ola has been going well,
Otis is trying to come to terms with the fact that his mum is in a relationship
with Ola’s dad Jakob, which is certainly proving quite difficult for him.After last season’s
climatic finale for Eric, he still thinks about Adam (even though Adam’s dad
has sent him to a military boarding school to clean up his act), but Eric is
more positive than ever as he is grown to be carefree.
I love how every
single character has developed as we get to see Maeve’s mum and how their
relationship is non-existent at the start, but it develops into something
strong towards the end, however (don’t worry I’m not going to spoil it for you)
towards the end … well you’ll just have to see. Through her relationship with
her mum, we get to see Maeve’s more caring said, which we might have seen in
the first season, but it becomes more apparent in this one, especially when she
is helping Aimee get on the bus (THE MOST ICONIC SCENE OF THE SEASON)!Furthermore, this
series explores stigmas regarding sex and sexuality and explores them, telling
people it’s alright to feel this way, which gives it an exclusivity tick as I
feel every topic is answered/gives people advice.
Otis’s character
development starts off slowly, but especially in the scenes with his dad we
find that Otis is trying to be a better version of himself, and not an
‘asshole’ like his dad. It’s really sweet as he starts taking responsibility
for every wrong-doing he has caused, it just takes him ages to figure it out.
Finally, Eric’s
character development shows him being in a relationship with Rahim, but as soon
as Adam comes back he does not seem to know where his loyalties lie. On one
hand, Rahim shows Eric it’s okay to express yourself as he is being really
open, however with Adam you can tell that this is a more delicate relationship
as both characters care for each other, however, one is more open than the
other.In the season finale,
Eric chooses and thinks with his heart.
I love this series
and I hope you do too
