is Sex Education Season 4 a FLOP?!! let's find out... ~ sex education reaction ~

[@shj00x]

idk why they would introduce so many new characters in the last season instead of expanding on all the character dynamics they already had especially cause its supposed to wrap everything up 😐 felt so rushed and disappointing

[@lowkeyproductions6681]

Yes, this was my main complaint - as well as them introducing a new school environment, because setting is a major character. Never a good choice for a final, or close-to-final season (I think they intended to do 5 originally). I enjoyed the new characters, but it was disappointing to see established character dynamics be neglected. It feels like the writers ran out of ideas for those relationships, and they only knew how to introduce new storylines through new relationships and a new setting.

[@juancanessa3614]

They wanted to get this shit out as soon and as cheap as possible. They even killed Maeve's mum closed casket zero screen time just so they could save a copper and not pay the actress that plays her.

[@diaryofdaksha]

Say it louder :')

[@Harrison_J_T]

I got the feeling that a lot if the cast wasn't available at the same time but with Ncuti Gatwa going to film Doctor Who they couldn't delay it and so had to bring in new characters to work around that. It's why Otis and Eric are separate almost all season and why Maeve sounds the first half of the season mostly mostly only seen in phone calls (I know she was always meant to go the US but I feel like they it wasn't originally for 4 whole episodes). Its why part of Jackson's story is about getting over Cal but they only share two scenes all season. You really notice the shift from episode 5 onwards when mote of the cast were able to film together and suddenly there's much less focus on new people

[@laryodaily]

But shows aren't filmed chronologically anyway

[@Amyduckie]

This season really cemented Aimee as my favourite character.

[@r_feds1690]

They be pushing hard to push an agenda, the plot is terrible

[@devilxcity]

My real issue with this season is that sex education has always boasted a very mature approach to it's themes, and this season's themes are tackled in very weirdly cringe-inducing ways, discarding the honest humor for new therapyspeak, light and cheesy humor, and heavy topics that are only sometimes treated with the level of complexity that used to always be present in the writing, which is why it was so impressive and captivating to watch in the first place! The new creative team did not understand the balance this show had.

[@devilxcity]

Season 4 also sets up a lot of commentary and characters it decides to do nothing with by the end of it. Feels like a reboot that just got cancelled so they filmed an ending reminiscent of the last season (fun fact: Maeve and Otis' storylines resolve in the exact same way twice).

[@souIctrl]

this season doesn’t feel like sex education, i don’t know how to explain it. it was also very very underwhelming and disappointing 😭😭

[@noodlearg9745]

it’s because there wasn’t much actual sex education. and i can probably count on one hand how many sex scenes there were.

[@tgrebnesor]

I feel like one of the issues is it just wasn't very funny. The previous seasons had a really good balance of tackling real issues with absurd, over-the-top, and sometimes dark comedy, whereas this season felt closer to a teen drama with some jokes sprinkled in. To me, Aimee and Isaac's storyline felt the closest to the older seasons

[@alloftheabove202]

I loved Adams story this season and I think that Maeve and Otis' wnding made a lot of sense. But other than that the season was really not it for me. A lot of the school content felt like a satire of Gen Z, and I thought that was intended to be some kind of commentary on superficial activism. But it just didn't really go anywhere? It was just very over the top exaggerated Gen Z phrases, style, activism etc, going so far that it felt like a completely different show stylistically than the first season. Just me?

[@faceyl]

yes stylistic if felt like a different show to me as well, I really missed the last school location aesthetic, it felt more grounded (as well as the side characters in general) 🙁

[@bobross1829]

This is a good point. There were times this season where I honestly thought they were making fun of the school, but then the vibe conflicted with that. Like when "O" said she was asexual, which was obviously a gigantic lie, but the class all applauded like they could not see she was saying that just because she was busted. Or at the end with everyone turning down the counselor job with a "I learned something speech" which felt like parody.

[@flwrlizz]

O is asexual! what are you talking about? And obviously they were making fun of the school, because practically everyone there was a joke! Everyone pretending to be super open-minded, with their positive, kind and inclusive personalities, when in reality they couldn't handle playing this role all the time. No one is positive and kind all the time, that's fucking fake! Honestly, I was hoping for a better review of this, but all we got was the mall scene, where Abbi finally says what she thinks without fear of judgment...@@bobross1829

[@tiasmith3499]

The best character development by far is Adam, he wil lalways be my number 1. Then Aimee and Ruby carry after him

[@Knightowl1980]

It felt very different. Like it was tacked on as an addendum. The characters didn’t interact much like they had to film everyone’s story separately

[@y.u.n.gg_tellyy]

Amiee‘s story was great Isaac‘s story was great Cal’s story was great I’m honestly not mad about this season as everyone else is I loved seeing Jane as well going through it and I feel like they brought up so many conversations in this season that we needed to see in a show like eg viv and Jane’s storyline

[@user-gi1oi6td9o]

sorry, but Cal's story was terrible. Their whole storyline over TWO seasons was that they're non-binary. Cal doesn' t have any backstory (Like why did they come to England?) or history like a lot of the other characters do. I feel like they just wanted someone non-binary represented in the show and failed to make this character interesting.

[@cosmo.g1543]

@@user-gi1oi6td9oI can’t really recall a show that explores, in-depth and with care the way this show does, the experience of being gender-nonconforming and transitioning. I resonated with it and felt really seen, personally. I bet it does the same for others. I think that was the goal for the plotline

[@Hacknerds]

my issue with cal's story is that when they were told the school fundraiser would go toward their top surgery, they had like... zero reaction at all to the news other than a canned thank you. they should have used a different take or something.

[@aimegarcia3979]

@@cosmo.g1543 the thing is, it was treated as Cal's only character trait, "they're transitioning" and although it's a big thing, I ended the season knowing absolutely nothing about them. We don't know why they fought with their mother, we don't know why they are in this new college? what do they want? we could've said they went there because of the Queer enviroment but the show has a line where Cal is surprised by the amount of queer people? and if the mom doesn't accept them why would she send them to that college? inclusion feels forced when the only character trait and thing that we know is the label. A good example of well written trans characters would be Pose, real trans actresses that are much more than the fact that they are trans

[@HeyItsFluffi]

[@larsson744]

Sex education was never really lauded by people on the far right, but I think most people still enjoyed season 1-3. What's sad about season 4 was that it no longer had the pep and fun we used to associate with sex education. It's okay to try to convey progressive messages with the story, but I felt that in season 4 it was more about putting out messages while the core story and characters took a back seat. For me, season 4 was the worst season in the series.

I enjoyed the first episode but the rest not so much. We lost so many characters and it's set in a new school with a ton of new cast members. It just feels like a completely different show and the majority of the main characters (apart from Aimee ofc) are annoying me. It's highly unlikely that I'll finish this season. These reactions grad be more than the actual show to be honest...

[@catastrophe69]

I only watched the first episode so far but, as a queer person, it feels... odd. Like the progressive school and some new characters would have been written to be caricatures, or a parody. I have been watching with friends, some also in the LBGT+ community, and everyone just eels a little bit weird about it. Idk, hard to explain.

[@marco_-8173]

NO cuz i totally get it. It felt icky, as if they were parodying gen z and queer people. “Look how silly those youngsters are, with their little progressive ideas”. It also felt a bit like tokenism. They introduced new cool queer characters but made them so superficial and flat. I didn’t like it, wasn’t good representation. It all felt like virtue signaling too. “Look we’ve got so many LGBTQ+ characters, but we won’t ever elaborate on them”. It all felt so bad. Idk

[@TsukiRaiki]

it felt icky and forced to me as well.. like it was just pushed down our throats with all these new characters they didn’t need to be in the show?

[@flwrlizz]

Well, maybe they just wanted to show how not all queer people are the same... Just because you're part of the community doesn't mean you're cool and completely open-minded! In fact, many people still discriminate against others on various aspects, even though they preach a "super inclusive" image. Most of the new characters and their "positive and kind" personalities look a lot like 70% of Twitter users. (and I say this as someone who is queer and uses Twitter every day)

[@paullegend6798]

That is what identify politics does. It tells you that your sex/gender/race/sexual preferences define you. Of course progressives won't write complex, fully fleshed out characters. They don't really believe in individual uniqueness and identity only a group identity.

Ok as someone in college (U.S) the school was obviously exaggerated but also kinda a perfect parody? Like colleges are in a super liberal bubble where the administration love their new gadgets that don’t work and preach inclusivity but often ignore student’s basic needs. Though abbi’s toxic positivity could’ve been fleshed out more, I really loved the disability rep in this otherwise progressive school

[@paullegend6798]

I was unfortunately disappointed with the new season as well. I echo the comment that it didn't feel like sex education this season - the way they went about the themes and the characters felt different. I feel they tried to do too much almost and therefore some of the character arcs felt incomplete or rushed. I wish they could have had another season so things may have been able to wrap up better.

I could not even get past the first episode in Season 4. It was so off putting. They were trying to do wayyyyyyy too much here. The older seasons were fantastic and still probably the most progressive show I’ve ever seen for young people. But season 4 took it to a level that honestly felt cartoon-ish.

I love love when you come in while editing to add stuff lol whether it's just to be funny/add context. I appreciate you reading the patron said because I didn't know either and I'm glad to now! Great vid, Brad!

[@pgiffon]

This last season is conflicting cause it’s certainly not as bad as people are making it seem. It’s actually a good season of television that I enjoyed a lot! But it’s not a great FINAL season for a show. So I think people just find that aspect unsatisfying because if we didn’t know it was the last season, I’d expect to see these characters again for a season 5. If anything though I think it’s a testament to the quality of the show that even a good/mid season people automatically call bad(which it’s not) but that’s because the other 3 are just that good! And it certainly does not taint the show overall in anyway.

[@jacobwood4937]

I think this explains it perfectly!! I loved this season and the stories that were being portrayed and introduced, but because it's the last season it feel like there was more than needed to be addressed and couldn't be summed up just within this season! I would've loved one more season!

[@meganzeliadt]

Personally I really enjoyed this season. We knew it was going to be a lot of new characters and I think they mixed in well with the cast that was from the other seasons.

As for the main characters I quite liked Eric's finale and Maeve's as well. But I can't help but feel like Otis story was left unfinished, I wished they spend more time with him outside of the whole "school sex therapist" storyline, and more time exploring his relationship with his mom for example. :/ _basically it felt like nothing new happened to his character, and like he said it still seemed to me that everyone else was onto something new or moving on but he stayed in the same place since last seasons_ 😭

[@user-dx2dm8oq8g]

Outside of Eric and Ruby he had no other friends or any social life. It's sad that he stopped the therapy when it was his passion. He could have learned from O by working with her and vice versa. I think that for Otis this season was about getting over his fear of abandonment. He was able to have sex without having a panic attack when we compare to how he was uncomfortable with his own sexuality and his feelings in the 1st season, he did change. When he was with Ruby she used him and he had no self-respect. His selfishness and ego really came through this season though towards everyone close to him.

In terms of Otis, season 4 wasn’t my favourite. Otis just feels so much more obsessed with Maeve. He genuinely doesn’t care about anything and ditches everyone for her. Which really isn’t healthy… he screws over Eric constantly and in this season even Ruby.. Ruby (who’s supposed to be the designated mean girl) actually ends being a better friend and partner to him then Maeve. I felt like Maeve’s character was being forced into the show. Her being gone to America should’ve been the end…. I like her character but she’s not into Otis as much as he is into her. She wants to be an independent person with a successful future. Rewatching the show, it’s mostly Maeve just asking Eric to do things which he does without fail. They’re better off as friends. I don’t even feel the chemistry with them anymore after season 1.

[@oleksandrkovalchuk3823]

Your comments helped me understand my feelings. Thank you. What I feel is deeeeep sadness. The ending of the show is just purely sad. If you take separate arcs, they will feel more bittersweet than sad. Maeve has run for her dreams and now has a chance to get out of the shithole she lived her entire life. Eric found God in his gay nature. Aimee healed her trauma. Otis though had the potential to become the saddest character of the whole show, but he behaved so indifferently during the whole season that I felt no compassion towards him. But what is extremely sad is how this Motis saga, which captured me right away and kept me until the end, just abruptly vanished. I was definitely not ready for this. I can't come to terms with the fact that the main storyline took only 15-20 mins of the whole season. I support all woke people and love stories about them, but this whole show was only partially about this topic. And now, for some reason, the 4th season clearly makes it the main storyline instead of the love between the two main characters. I loved the season, Adam and his father were brilliant, and Aimee was amazing, but I keep asking myself why I spent so little time with Motis. Why didn't I have a chance to dig deeper into their emotions? Why did Otis suddenly become capable of having sex with Maeve? Why didn't I see and feel this transformation? How can you leave a person that you love and who loves you without crying all night long? Again, I understand why it ended this way, but does it have to be so harsh? I live their lives. I drink their love. And I am very sad that I took just a sip of it before there was no more. I believe that if the writers had dedicated more air time to this love story, showed us their pure emotions, made us cry like a river, it would have been easier to understand the ending and let the show go.

Felt like it was left on a cliff hanger, got the feeling stories weren’t finished or they just didn’t have budget to film more and a lot felt rushed. I’m angry Otis and Ruby didn’t get together as they were so together, they could’ve made Ruby an even better version of herself as she was obviously still healing from being bullied and used the bitch attitude cause she was scared of being rejected again cause she’s poor yet Otis didn’t say he loved her back but that was honestly cause he was confused and never said that to anyone before. It’s annoying cause season 4 could’ve been good yet they made it quite woke and didn’t focus as much on the storyline.

I have a lot of mixed feelings here. If I had to give it an overall rating, it would be a 6/10 for me. 1. I think my favourite storylines/characters were Adam/ Michael Groff and Ruby. How much the son/ father duo mirror each other and how they both changed from bullies to better men is just great. Ruby deserves better than Otis. 2. I don't care much for the majority of the new characters. I think initially they did not think this would be the last season but with the main cast actors having new projects, it was inevitable (looking at Doctor Who in particular). If Eric had left the show, I don't think the show would have been able to recover from it. I am also for inclusivity but that school was too much for me. I prefer subtle realism with a mix of everything instead of this overly positive fantasy situation. 3. Overall, there are simply too many characters and you cannot give all of them the same time to focus on. 4. Otis was getting on my nerves. Even though I felt for him when Eric excluded him from the new group and when his mum acted as if he was another parent to Joy.

Honestly I loved this season. It definitely feels very different from the other seasons but I’m in a different place in my life too.

Being non-binary is super interesting. I am afab and prefer to present femininely. But different things can be gender euphoric for different people, for Cal that’s being on T and presenting more masculine. For me, the act of shaving my face despite the fact I’m very fem is a thing that makes me feel euphoric. It’s kinda fascinating how much variation there is.

Loved it! ☺️ only part I kinda wished wasn’t for the whole season duration was the sex therapist competition 🤣 didn’t care too much but still loved.

S3 had some issues, but the ratings still speak for themselves - The echo chamber of social media wasn't enough to destroy the ratings & s3 sits at an 89% audience rating on RT even today. S4 is currently at 37% and I seriously doubt that it will recover; it's just objectively true that they fumbled at this point. 37% is horrific compared to the other seasons and demonstrates that it's not just the over the top 'shippers' influencing the ratings of the show. Such a shame.

It is bad...seriously, how can you make a character-Otis, develop so much and just bring him almost to the same place he started from - sad and depressed. It is like letting a bird fly just to see how it lands on it's face...cruel, didn't like it, they have to redeem themselves.

[@8lovetolaugh]

Love Your reactions!! Been feeling the same things all the way through!! ❤

[@bobross1829]

I personally have not cared for this since season 2. I do not like the fantastical they brought into this which clashes with the more serious storylines. They also seem to went with surface "representation" rather than good stories. Transforming Jean from a woman who they always shown to be very flawed in her personal life to just "you go girl" was also very unearned. They fell in love way too much with their ideas and characters.

[@user-qx6ri2bf4o]

Are you not uploading the other eps?

[@sabbiss]

it was pretty fun but im just devestated by the ending after waiting for that endgame maeve and otis finale :,) this season though had some really good moments and reminded me how much i aodre the show and that it just helps me feel like im being understood with all the struggles they go through.

[@ineskoivisto]

hi!! did you ever watch this season as a whole? i wanted to watch your reactions to the whole season, but i couldn't find them on your patreon? dw if you didn't, i was just wondering! :)

[@ImagineItColoring]

Great show, I love the first season best. Loved watching your reaction vid :) melon

[@silverstarlight9395]

I missed Rahim this season.

[@atomic3053]

the only thing i can say is i HATED the ending but i respect the boldness on how realistic it was, sometimes happy endings are for the best yk?

[@gager5458]

I fucking love your reaction I’m Gage and I’m a new viewer just woke up and found you super funny I’m gonna follow you 😁

[@krystalberryhill]

Ruby supporters here 💅🏼💖

[@tiny_fern]

honestly feel like the final season sucks. the best last season is definitely season 3 :/ should’ve ended there

[@Ida20]

Too many story lines and new characters. The new school is annoying. Nobody likes a new character who challenges one of our favourites. They felt like intruders. Feels like new writers that wanted to take a good concept and make it their own without consideration (or knowledge) of the past seasons. Sadly.

[@Nymeria108]

So you're not gonna upload the other episodes? :(

[@danielcooper3332]

It's weird because I found myself more invested in the storylines of the side characters than I did in the storylines of the main leads Otis and Maeve. Especially the rivalry between Otis and O that got boring really fast. It's also annoying that they killed the romance between Otis and Ruby last season for the Otis and Maeve storyline we got this season.

[@richardpho5187]

Am I missing the rest of the season or did we not do it?

[@y.u.n.gg_tellyy]

Brad you are a top tier reactor 🤣🔥

[@kiki13450]

Looking back, I wish they didn’t add these new characters and try to make them so important. I would rather have had others character we already know and love fleshed out more. Especially Jackson; his story felt so rushed and pointless in the end.

[@leonie1617]

honestly, I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it sound. I am a little disappointed though, I expected to focus on the main characters. instead of adding more characters, I liked the writing, it was pretty good. It’s just there was too much going on in each episode that I felt like, I couldn’t focus on what was actually going on with anyone, if they just narrowed it down with the main characters, I feel like it wouldn’t be a problem.

[@camillaabreu1967]

Don't know if Brad had seen Shadow hunters before, but I just thought about him reactin to Magnus and Alex, and now im obsessed. Can some patrion fan put this show out there for him to see?

[@Trinitysflicks767]

Yeah this season was pretty underwhelming for me. They teased a lot and then never wrapped it up.

[@thesarcasticsimmer1383]

The reason why Jackson and cal wouldn’t work is because cal was worried that Jackson wouldn’t view them as nonbinary , that their relationship would be inherently queer because of this and he would not want/be ready for that/ see the relationship that way (from what I understand). You like whoever you like but when someone’s identity is often scrutinised, you want a relationship that is defined and be proud/out within ur relationship. Nonbinary people are under the trans umbrella thus a straight person can date someone non binary but their relationship would be queer, some straight people would be like 🫤 at this or unable to accept the unfortunate difficulties that queer people / people in queer relationships face, so would view that nonbinary person as a specific gender (not even consciously ) which is not their place to do so/ can be quite hurtful. So cal was protecting themself from this (I love Jackson btw, but this is a completely valid reason for them not to date )

[@filmsyoushouldbewatching]

The “she gobbled” SENT ME 🤣

[@FSportuguese]

This is such a great show , sad the last season is the worst

[@jenniferbaumgarden9293]

I would've liked the Cal character alot more if they were fleshed out. Their entire identity is only that they are trans, and that is all it has ever been. But I DESPISE the new characters. It's like the showrunners just ticked off some boxes of diversity and didn't care about them being interesting or likable. Also, all the actors in the American scenes have TERRIBLE accents. Why didn't they just hire real Americans?!

[@ajpringle03]

I didn't enjoy this season that much. All the new characters were just outrageously annoying and bland. The ending felt like a cheap cop out, where Otis doesn't end up either Maeve or Ruby. They canned a lot of characters I liked too, which kinda sucked. Adam and Aimee obviously had the best storylines and Sean processing his grief (or not at all, depending on how you see it) was pretty interesting too. This season didn't feel like Sex Education at all and it felt more like one of those shitty modern American teen dramas. The last seasons had their own charm and even the characters that were deemed unlikeable, were still somewhat compelling.

[@graceedwards7186]

Hey Brad I know this isn’t related but with you be reacting to the Percy Jackson series? I would love to see your thoughts when it comes out

[@nicholas7695]

Honestly… I kinda liked this season more than the last. The ending wasn’t perfect but tbh I feel like they could’ve done one more season

[@rahulpandey5367]

this was the most disappointing season of all, it was mostly flat.

[@aeofaiosda]

I was so sick of that goddamn baby lmao like ENOUGH nobody cares about Joy and Jean's sister. Otis had no character development. Eric wants to be a pastor?! what a waste of a fantastic character. also maybe it's problematic of me but I wished him and Adam got back together lol

[@Bytherocks]

I found the season underwhelming. So much so that I haven’t finished it yet. Which makes me sad. I just wasn’t about the therapy competition. Did like Aimee and Isaac

[@saimakhatri4863]

It was just a little boring and since it wasn't focused on Otis and maeve i think people got pissed. But the show really showed the background and growth of other characters such as aimee cal jackson etc

[@influencerzwerg]

I need your reaction to the entire season please and thank you

[@zeroknight4517]

unfortunately, yes. I didn't like this season. it really messaged a complete different feeling. It's not horrible, but I felt like they didn't care about the characters anymore. Like what was the point of Jacksons last arc? or Maeve, after the first 2 episodes... Adams story (my fav character) was disappointing af. Eric was the only one who had something going on, but yeah...

[@user-dx2dm8oq8g]

The way Maeve is striving to get a better life and was ready to give it all up because of one rude teacher hiring a trust fund baby and seeing how Otis agreed without asking any questions that made no sense to me. Their relationship was very superficial this season they were very surface level with each other, never discussed anything serious. They just used the lump to drop that bomb on Jackson to keep the character busy this season, they didn't want him to explore his possible feelings for Viv or Cal?

[@zeroknight4517]

@@user-dx2dm8oq8g exactly. I was hoping for Maeve to get deeper into the writing thing or at least something, even her mourning her mother wasn't portrayed will. Last season she was so into her little sister, now we only got like one scene with her? I wanted Jackson to explore more about his thing we got at the beginning of the season, but they completely forgot it, also the arc with his father was nothing but time waste. Erics decision came out of nowhere (like I get it why, but he hasn't spent one thought about it in the whole series). I also didn't felt the whole Otis/Maeve thing, I was like Otis, just go to Ruby... :D . The one character that really got some personal journey was Adams dad.

[@javeriakhan7240]

didnt even know the season was out
