Many fans have plenty of controversial or outright unpopular opinions about Sex Education, and they take to Reddit to express them.
Sex Education is one of Netflix's most acclaimed and beloved originals. It consistently ranks among the most-watched series in the streamer and receives rave reviews for its heartfelt and honest depiction of teenage sexuality. In short, it is one of the most popular shows currently airing on Netflix.
However, not everyone's an absolute fan of the show. In fact, some fans have divisive and even outright unpopular takes on Sex Education , and they take to Reddit to express them. Not every opinion is categorically negative, but they are controversial, and most fans disagree with them.
Most fans despised season two's ending, where Isaac listened to and deleted Otis' love confession to Maeve. Everyone expected some complications for Otis and Maeve's blossoming romance, but hardly anyone expected Isaac would stoop so low.
However, some fans didn't mind, and a few even agreed with his actions. Reddit user Midnightsummertime thinks Isaac did a good thing in deleting the message. "I'd rather have Otis tell Maeve he loves her in person rather (than) through a voice message." Otis does get to confess his love in person, but Isaac's actions were still wrong. He invaded Maeve's privacy, even if he wanted to protect her. Luckily, season three has him confessing his actions to her.
Lily is one of Sex Education 's best supporting characters . She is like a breath of fresh air with her colorful and unique outlook on life. For her part, Ola might've been unpopular when she was dating Otis, but once she got together with Lily, fans got to see another side to her.
Still, some fans had issues with the way they got together. For example, Redditor Mariasolvv thinks their relationship felt "very forced." Two more users agreed with her, saying the two becoming a couple felt "abrupt." However, the users are ignoring Lily and Ola's previous connection. They were friends before becoming a couple, meaning they knew each other pretty well and maybe already loved each other before making things official.
Most fans agree that Otis hit a low point during his party in season two. He gets drunk and makes a public speech, insulting and humiliating both Ola and Maeve. He then hooks up with Ruby, the perfect ending to his night of selfish recklessness.
Even so, a few Reddit users agree with the things he said. One Reddit user thinks that, while Otis' speech was "called for," he "actually hit it pretty spot on with what he said." However, Otis never gave Maeve any indication of his feelings, so she had no way of knowing he liked her. Furthermore, Maeve is one of the least selfish people in the show, always going out of her way to protect and care for those she loves. Otis should've known better.
Sex Education has plenty of likable characters , and most fans agree that Jackson is one of them. He is a clever twist on the traditional "jock" character, a sensitive and compelling character with a layered character arc. The show allows him more dynamism than other popular jocks, resulting in a refreshingly intriguing character.
Reddit user overkillzx23 doesn't agree with most fans, though. The user thinks Jackson "is really arrogant and has this attitude that it's all about him and his happiness." The Redditor also says that while season two did an okay job developing his character, "there was never a reason for him to be likable." To each their own, but Jackson is one of the show's most relatable characters, so calling him "unlikeable" is a reach.
The friendship between Otis and Adam is one of the show's strongest assets. They constantly support each other, even if they sometimes tease each other. After all, Eric is one of Sex Education 's funniest characters , and much of his humor comes at Otis' expense. However, there's still love between them, and the show makes it clear.
However, not every viewer loves their friendship. Reddit user DriftingJDM believes Eric is a bad friend to Otis. She points to the party scene when Eric "watches Otis humiliate himself not just with the speech but the whole night in general." Sure, Eric could've done more to stop Otis from rambling in front of his guests, but one moment at a party doesn't erase years of friendship. Season three shows that Eric is willing to abandon everything and be there for Otis during the toughest times, proving their friendship is the real deal.
Aimee Gibbs is a gift to television. She's sweet, innocent, and hilarious, adding a much-needed dose of wholesomeness to the show. Her arc in season two is compelling and timely, and her friendship with Maeve is a highlight of every episode.
It might seem like no one could dislike Aimee; alas, there's always someone. Redditor Obessoverfiction doesn't care for Aimee. "I just never find that 'sweet dumb' personality type interesting or funny." The user is entitled to their opinion, but reducing Aimee to a "'sweet dumb' personality type" shows a lack of understanding about the character. Aimee has gone through so much and is dealing with severe trauma following her assault in season two. And still, she keeps going and growing, learning more about herself and the world every day. Now, that's interesting.
Maeve Wiley is the most brilliant character in Sex Education . She's sarcastic, independent, unyielding, ambitious, and inspiring. In other words, she's one of the best characters in any television show currently airing, a young girl forced to deal with situations that no teenager should have to handle.
Sex Education is a better show because of her, and most fans adore her. But DJ-Wallaby is not most fans, and they don't like Maeve." She just overall doesn't seem like a good person," said the user, acknowledging that his take is wildly unpopular. It might be easy to confuse Maeve's defensive attitude as rudeness. However, she's someone bullied and let down by those closest to her, so it's obvious she'll have protective walls around her. Furthermore, the show goes out of its way to show she's a caring person, constantly looking out for others. Sorry to DJ-Wallaby, but they're objectively wrong on this one.
As previously mentioned, Maeve and Aimme's friendship is one of the sweetest parts of the show. They support each other through everything and go out of their way to encourage each other. Maeve helped Aimee through her assault trauma, and Aimee gave Maeve the push she needed to go to America. They bring out the best in each other, resulting in a balanced and wholesome connection.
Most fans love them together, but Reddit user phantom_avenger isn't one of them. In the user's opinion, their friendship is underdeveloped. "We don't know why they're friends or what made them become close." The series doesn't show the beginning of their connection, but it doesn't need to anyway; not everything needs an origin story. Besides, the writers and actresses do a brilliant job exploring Maeve and Aimee's dynamic without needing a detailed introduction.
Will-they-won't-they relationships are always at risk of becoming tiresome. If it takes too long for the characters to get together, fans might become anxious or annoyed. So far, Otis and Maeve's relationship has avoided this fate, but season four might be the breaking point for many fans. Season three complicated things further by introducing the fan-favorite ship of Otis and Ruby , adding more division to the fandom.
Still, many fans keep believing that "Motis" are endgame. But Reddit user HolyMollywacamole thinks the relationship already ran its course. "It felt so turned off for me, it lacked passion," said the user, referring to Maeve and Otis' dynamic in season 3. Motis does have some issues, but Asa Butterfield and Emma Mackey's chemistry remains intact. Still, the pairing is beginning to feel somewhat stale, so season four better get them together.

Kids are curious, which is great. But sometimes (all the time?), they have no filter, which can make for awkward situations in public. Like when they yell about a woman who has pink hair right in front of her or when they point out that man is really old. Fair enough — plus it gives us as parents the opportunity to affirm and explain that these things are great, and everyone is unique (and 50 is not old!). A similar situation happened to one mom at her son’s preschool, who noticed a pregnant woman. The mom seemed to handle it great, but she was later blasted for being “inappropriate.” Like any thoughtful parent, she took to Reddit to dive deeper, and it sparked an interesting conversation about sex education.
“AITA for having a conversation with my son?” the mom asked on the popular “Am I The A—hole?” subreddit. She then goes to explain the conversation that could have been awkward if she didn’t explain it so well.
“I dropped my son off at preschool yesterday morning, and one of the other mothers walked by with her daughter. She is pregnant,” the mom wrote. “My son asked me why she was ‘so big.’ I said that she’s going to have a baby, and the baby is inside her for now, but we shouldn’t say people are big, because it can hurt their feelings.”
This is great! Maybe explaining that everyone’s bodies are different would be helpful too, but she was put on the spot, so we totally get it.
But of course, he had more questions. “My son asked why the baby was inside and how it eats,” she explained, and we’re cackling. Because of course you would have the questions about the birds and the bees in the middle of preschool drop-off. Why don’t kids ever have deeply intimate questions in, say, the privacy of our homes?
The mom thought fast, and answered like a champ. “I said babies grow in mommies until they are big enough to be outside, and that mommies eat food and her body turns it into baby food that the baby gets through a tube. Then I poked his belly button and said that was where his tube used to be.”
Perfect response! Accurate without being graphic, I love it. Her son did, too.
“My son thought this was hilarious,” she continued. “We then put his stuff in his cubby, and I left.”
NBD, right? But another parent was apparently mad about what went down.
“After school that day, I got a message from another mom saying I was gross for talking like that in the classroom,” the mom wrote. “She said my son heard me and was asking her inappropriate questions. She said I shouldn’t be talking about pregnancy with young children, especially boys, and I had no right to expose her son to such topics.”
Wait, what? She shouldn’t be talking about pregnancy ? She didn’t even address how the woman got pregnant, just stated that she was pregnant and talked about how the baby eats. Like … how is that possibly a conversation that could be inappropriate? And why would you want to hide about this very natural, very important topic with your own son? Nobody is asking her to explain the ins and outs (pun intended) of sex, but a basic, age-appropriate conversation with kids is definitely a good thing.
The mom continued, “I try to respect everyone’s parenting choices, but is it reasonable to police what I say to my own child because your child might overhear? I don’t think the subject was inappropriate for public.”
“So she’s sexist. Got it,” one person said, referencing the fact that the mom complained about boys hearing the conversation. “You didn’t say anything that was inappropriate for that age level.”
“I guess … boys don’t get anybody pregnant so obviously inappropriate 🤦♀️,” another sarcastically replied. Like, c’mon ! This mom’s attitude was a total overreaction.
Others pointed out that this is why many boys grow up not understanding women’s bodies at all. “Yep, that’s how you end up with dudes who grow up thinking women can hold in their periods and leave the room whenever a pregnant woman enters,” one wrote. Or, you know, dudes who gut our reproductive freedoms .
“Yeah, I thought OPs explanation was cute, informative, and entirely age appropriate,” someone wrote. “Complaining mom’s son is going to grow up to be one of those guys who thinks we can hold our period in like urine, bet on that.”
So true! I had plenty of heartfelt discussions about babies and pregnancies and even periods with my sons (now 5 and 3) when I was pregnant with my now-8-month-old. It’s entirely possible and healthy to open up the discussion, and this mom did a great job with it. Especially after being put on the spot in public! Truly an inspiration.
Even a preschool teacher weighed in about the importance of giving your kids a basic understanding of the reproductive system.
“[A]s a former pre-k teacher, they come up with things on their own otherwise,” they wrote. “One boy was fully of the belief that his classmate’s mom ate a baby, and thats how you got pregnant. He was terrified of the woman. Girl in my group asked if I was pregnant, because, ‘your boobs are much bigger than mommy’s, and hers got biiiiig with brother!’”
She goes on to say, “Like, if you don’t explain and introduce things with simple truth, they will come up with their own answers. And most of those answers will be wrong.”
Someone else tried to guess what the other mom would have preferred — should the OP have just shut down the kid?
“Your son asked a question and instead of just shoving him to the side, you answered it in a kid-friendly manner,” one person wrote. “Like what if you or a partner were pregnant, what are you going to do, tell your son to shut up and stop asking questions and one day a baby just appears?”
Exactly. Explaining it in a positive, kid-friendly way is the best thing that this mom could have done and there should have been nothing wrong with the other kid overhearing it.
“If her child is asking questions, then they ARE age appropriate questions,” someone else wrote. “I hate these parents who get mad something someone else did or said put them in a position of DOING THEIR JOB AS A PARENT. I am sorry you do want to talk to your poor child, but that is a YOU problem.”
Some parents are just awful, and kids suffer for it. Hopefully this mom will continued to stand her ground with other parents and keep speaking the truth to her son!
