In Season 2 of Netflix’s ‘Sex Education,’ teens are still struggling to figure out love and hookups, even if new plots get in the way. Alan Sepinwall’s review
These new episodes, though, too often feel tuned into other oranges, and occasionally apples, pears, and tangelos. The appealing performances and fundamental empathy remain — enough to ultimately make this a rewarding return — but Season Two keeps going off into more clichéd and less interesting territory.
The first season also trafficked in triangles — starting off with Otis pining for Maeve while she dated star swimmer Jackson , and finishing with Maeve being the piner when Otis and Ola became a couple — but the new episodes at times seem unable to recognize any other configuration of characters or drama. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to set your clock by how frequently familiar devices are deployed to bring certain characters together and pull others apart.
Despite all these distractions, the show still manages to do some terrific work, albeit more in matters tangential to love or sex. There’s a great #MeToo story that plays out delicately across the season, leading to one of the show’s better Eighties homages, as several of the characters involved wind up serving detention in the library,-style.
