Review of Episode 1

Sex Education: Episode 1 (2023)
Season 4, Episode 1
1/10
What a train wreck
25 September 2023
Emblematic of the new direction for the show, they introduced Hannah Gadsby as a new character. This should tell you almost everything you need to know. The other new characters are equally insufferable. The hard turn into culture war insanity is jarring, to say the least. The show used to be about fun and interesting slice of life situations with charismatic characters. No more. Now you can enjoy that powerful sense of condescension which is the hallmark of each and every Hannah Gadsby lecture.

It's lamentable to see another, great show sacrificed at the alter of The Message. The reviews corroborate the marked shift in tone and directorial competence. It looks like they hired a new director for season four. Is he to blame? Hard to tell. I just know I won't be watching last episode one. Judging by the reviews, I am not alone.
