  1. Maeve popular? Wow first sentence and it already shows a lack of understanding of the character lol. She’s edgy and apparently confident but she’s actually the underdog who’s seen as the promiscuous daughter of a drug addict…

  2. Otis: has slept with Maeve once (after pining for her for years) and now they are separated by a literal ocean. Instead of 1 he is now living with 3 women – ambitious, overworked mother, 3-month-old baby and deeply disturbed aunt. He is also deprived of what gave his existence meaning, his sex clinic. What he has done to deserve this I don’t know. Oh yeah, I forgot, white male privilege. Must be punished.

    Jean: does not even find the nerve to throw her sister out of the house when she literally and deliberately farts into her face. Joanna has done literally nothing to deserve help, on the contrary, she exploits everybody and or gets on their nerves, but oh yeah, she was “abused”. When we see her in flashback, she is proudly encouraging the advances of the man, feeling superior to her sister; now she has decided that it was an assault.

    Eric: his church helped him find to self-love, and Adam was his first lover. In both cases, he turns his back on them because being gay matters more to him. Which is why „God“ in person tells him he has a special calling. A calling to what, helping other people to be as selfish as he is? At a party, he takes substances. What a glowing example for other young people to like and imitate.

    Michael: at least he is back together with his wife, but he is still being portrayed as a loser.

    Lily: disappeared without a trace. We never learn whether she overcame her vaginismus.

    O: Now she is the one with the only sex clinic, although she is intruding and haughty. Otis, the good listener, is made redundant. She made Ruby's life hell for years, but it's enough that she says "Sorry" in the open to be regarded as particularly virtuous.

    Aimee: apparently she overcame her trauma, but now she has an affair with Isaac, who can literally not harm her, being in a wheelchair.

    Cal: the entire school looked for her, Otis literally jumped into a garbage bin looking for clues, in the end everybody collects money for her. But God forbid that she thanks anyone. She does not even come to the crowdfunding. She has so managed to make the entire school about her that she doesn’t even need to show up any more.

    Cavendish school: is summed up with the scene where a student takes the slide, cannons into his teacher throwing him to the floor and then simply walks away. God forbid anyone is taught things like manners and respect! The only people who must be treated with velvet gloves are the gender diverse ones. Woe if you dare to be “normal”.

    Oh, and by the way, young people who are not even in their twenties apparently urgently need operations to have parts of their bodies chopped off or sewn on at will, because otherwise they can’t truly feel as “themselves”.

    This whole school is sick. And this show should have been called “Sex Diseducation” or “Look Before You Leap”. The basic idea was good, but I was rarely more disappointed.

  3. I'm SO glad that the writers let Otis and Maeve break up and have her chase her dreams in the US. It's so much more realistic than them as 'endgame.'

  4. You pride folks are always forcing your way into churches. You know you will be shot trying to do the same in other religions.

    You think you're doing something great but hell will be waiting for you all.

    Sodom and Gomorrah were worse. Romans 1 tells you as well but nah, you think your flag stealing the meaning of the rainbow and twisting it is cool.

    Shame on you all. Just be pride, why do you have to force yourselves into the church

  5. I really don't mean this to come across as rude (apologies if it does, just trying to offer some feedback) but could the narrator please tone down the intense up-and-down cadence when speaking? It's quite distracting to listen to "the SER-ies ENDS with MAEVE LEAV-ing Otis AND the REST of her LIFE be-HIND."

  6. I'm actually glad that Maeve choose to return to America, even if it meant leaving Otis, Aimee and her other friends behind. She never really fit in at Moordale, so she had to find her true calling.

  7. I find problematic that the money that was crowdfunded specificallu to feed people in need at church, was usee at the end (and without the ok of the participants) to pay for the top surgery of a 17yo.
