Sex Education

I fell in with this when the first season dropped and got everyone I knew to watch it. How refreshing to see so many taboo subjects opening explored but, and here's the key, in a serious BUT FUNNY way. It offered light and shade. There were moments of real levity.

I'm a staunch ally, as I guess the majority of fans are, but I found this final season a TOTAL DISASTER. I'm not sure if there were new writers, but it lacks heart, humour, I felt like I was being preached at. The acting is wooden and the writIng is lazy. Am a straight male in his 40's with 4 grown up children and I don't need to be spoon fed situations to bring my attention to the battles the LGBTQIA+ community faces on a daily basis. There were too many new characters introduced for what had already been announced was a final season, in what felt like an attempt to "tick as many boxes" as possible but the result is a jumbled mess that doesn't really give ANY of the issues the time/sympathetic writing they deserve. You lose sight of the core characters, and by the end, the pay-off (which disappoints) just left me thinking 'meh'.
