Socially awkward high school student Otis may not have much experience in the lovemaking department, but he gets good guidance on the topic in his personal sex ed course -- living with mom Jean, who is a sex therapist. Being surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis has become a reluctant expert on the subject. When his classmates learn about his home life, Otis decides to use his insider knowledge to improve his status at school, so he teams with whip-smart bad girl Maeve to set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their classmates' problems. But through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realizes that he may need some therapy of his own.

As sweetly empathetic and inclusive as ever, Sex Education's final season serves as a bittersweet -- but largely satisfying -- farewell.

Tariq Ra'ouf AV Club Our favorite characters go through trials and tribulations that feel unnecessary, leaving us with a show that barely resembles what it looked like when it started. Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Tucker Globe and Mail If its primarily legacy is the sheer breadth of its representation, Sex Education’s secondary impact could be drawing a functional blueprint for how to realistically, unsentimentally portray healing -- and hope. Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader There aren’t a lot of television shows that make the world a better place by existing. Sex Education is one. Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Kathryn Miller Loud and Clear Reviews Sex Education season 4 is a heartfelt swan song to a beloved story and noteworthy characters who have helped audiences feel comfortable enduring some of life’s most significant changes. Rated: 4/5 Mar 16, 2025 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film The final season of Sex Education is packed with this kind of emotional whiplash. At its worst, it seems as if these last episodes are a parody of the concise and trailblazing seasons that came before. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Romey Norton Film Focus Online Sex Education has been the feel-good, informative and sexually exploitative sensational series that we’ve all needed. This series is very grown-up and the final episodes round off the characters' stories to leave you feeling wholesome and satisfied. Rated: 4/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tobias K This might not be the best season Sex Education has brought us, but its old strenghts continue to keep it on track until the end. There is no spectacular, but realistic and well needed emotional pay-off for the main love story and most of the new characters are definitely good additions. In general, the ensemble cast is solidly keeping up the fun and the heartbreak in every episode. The only flaws I can see are in its writing. With so many characters available, not everyone's favorite receives the right amount of screen time and some story arcs feel clunky or disproportionally stretched. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Alejandro A How to destroy a TV show effectively? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Pat B Like so many shows, Sex Education declined exponentially with each season. Season 1 was brilliant, and a must-see. By the time you get to Season 4, you're wondering why on earth you're still watching it. Far too many characters emerge on the screen, and each with far too little likability. But I'd highly recommend people watch the first season as it tells a cracking story, using good actors, to convey some important (and rarely heard) lessons to the audience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Jens B You can clearly see how the writers struggle to come up with new plot points. Everything seems so unnecessary, the actors seem bored, and so was I. I only watched five episodes of season four, it evolved into just being content for Netflix. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Diego B So different to the others, our favorite characters go through trials and tribulations that feel unnecessary, is not "sex education" anymore is a love story gone wrong Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Naitik B I rated it 4.5 because it had not made complete conclusion of " sex education ". Last episode had disappointed me . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
