Netflix’s Sex Education quickly became known for being one of the sweetest, heartfelt, yet still somewhat raunchy, teen comedies when it debuted on the streamer in early 2019.
None of that changed for Season 2, and as we quickly approach the premiere of Sex Education Season 3, now seems like a good time to revisit what happened in the second season so that we’re all fully prepared for the new set of episodes.
There are plenty of SPOILERS AHEAD, so be sure to catch up before diving in!
The story of Otis (Asa Butterfield), his sex therapist mom, Jean (Gillian Anderson), his friends Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Maeve (Emma Mackey), and many of their classmates as they tried to figure out sex, relationships, and how to navigate life in general was a big hit right out of the gate, and much of that had to do with the way the show was able to blend drama and some frequently wacky comedy with pretty honest portrayals of young love, coming-of-age trials and some surprising romantic twists.
