In favor: closing cycles to open others (without spoilers)
By Brenda Petrone Veliz
Sex Education It is everything, absolutely everything that is good. The production team of Laurie Nunn, the creator of the series, knew how to combine the need to talk regarding sex and sexuality with the feelings, values and insecurities of at least two generations. On September 21, the production launched its fourth and final season and with it closed a cycle of stories that crossed the screen with the hope that many physical and digital territories will open up (perhaps less utopian than Cavendish) to expand the debate, even when there are people who, out of hatred and fear, want to silence them.
This season gives a brutal turn to the histrionic Ruby (Mimi Keene) and profiles her as one of the best characters in the series. Maeve (Emma Mackey) will face the change in her life and Adam and Michael will show that it is possible to save a relationship, even if it costs too much.
Sex Education It should be seen by fathers and mothers with daughters and sons of different ages. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the notion of freedom with which many young people approach these issues and Sex Education is presented as a possible path to open dialogue between old and new canons. That is why the director also decided to expand the youth story to address some problems of the adult generation. Leaving aside the distances, the case of Cal (Dua Saleh) with his mother, the life story of Jackson (Kedar Williams Stirling) and the menopause of Dr. Jean F. Milbu (Gillian Anderson), can be very illuminating stories.
Another impeccable approach that the series makes is the importance of going through grief. Maeve and Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) are the ones to show that you have to take enough time to close cycles and heal wounds.
Finally, Sex Education once once more puts discrimination once morest people with disabilities on the agenda by institutions and society in general that are unaware of their daily needs. Isaac Goodwin (George Ross Robinson) and other characters like Aisha (Alexandra James) still have to fight for their needs even in the most inclusive school of all.
Cons: Below expectations
By Nicolas Lencinas
I liked – and really enjoyed – the three previous seasons of Sex Education (it was one of my hobbyhorses when it came to defending Netflix’s always criticized original productions).
Excellent humor, memorable scenes, great character development, unexpected twists and desire to see each episode once more; The series had all that and more up to this point. Unfortunately, for the fourth and final season they broke everything.
Almost hair-raising, the new “progressive” and very correct school in Moordale is a delirium. Although the story starring Asa Butterfield (Otis) and Emma McKey (Maeve) played excellently with irony, they went too far in the end.
Of course, there was a race once morest time to finish it and the pandemic will have changed the plans of the showrunners. In that delay to continue recording, Otis, Eric, Mave, Adam and company no longer looked 17 years old nor did they look like high school students. In fact, Otis’s wrinkles and receding hairlines are noticeable; perhaps a silly detail that comes to light in almost every scene.
The chapters are dense to look at and on several occasions the series seems to be a cluster of scenes in ESI pamphlet mode. Without a common thread or with little solvency, scenes appear with a different theme to deal with, for example: erectile dysfunction, violent relationships, sexting, consent, among others. Of course, that’s how the series was built, but previously, the scenes were developed with the narrative support of what was happening to the characters in their daily lives.
The emergence of the new characters who arrived from a parachute to Moordale deserves a separate paragraph. I didn’t understand why the ones who took the spotlight were Anthony Lexa (Abbi) and his novix Felix Mufti (Roman).
Anyway, it is celebrated to see in a series mainstream, a romantic relationship (and sexual desire) between two trans people. Likewise, the way Cal’s (Dua Saleh) transition and the mental health problems she went through were treated are redeemable. Special mention to Dr. Jean Millburn (Gillian Anderson) – she almost saved the season.
