Why Sex Education Season 3’s Reviews Are So Positive

The reviews for Sex Education season 3 have proved extremely positive, with the show’s Rotten Tomatoes score extremely high and reflecting the consensus that it remains every bit as good in its third year. Sex Education debuted back in 2019 to great acclaim, almost instantly proving a hit with both critics and audiences alike. Sex Education season 2 was more divisive, at least for its controversial ending, which conspired to keep Otis and Maeve apart thanks to the work of Isaac.

Building on that, Sex Education season 3 isn’t prepared to just wipe the slate clean, but instead deals with all of the fallout between Otis, Isaac, and Maeve, as well as further exploring its other characters and their relationships and issues. There’s more time spent with Eric and Adam, new characters come to the forefront, and there are some surprising choices made along the way. Luckily for the show, they seem to have worked.

At the time of writing, Sex Education season 3 has a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, from 13 reviews. That isn’t a huge amount of submitted reviews, but nonetheless that it has achieved a flawless rating is impressive (overall the show has a 96 percent rating, with a score of 91 percent for season 1 and no reviews submitted for season 2). Of course, Rotten Tomatoes’ percentages don’t necessarily tell the full story of how positive the reviews are, as something could effectively be on 100 percent but have mostly received three star ratings. For Sex Education, though, it is indeed a good sign, as its average rating is 9.1/10, meaning the reviews aren’t just good, but great. Here’s a sample of what critics are saying about Sex Education season 3.

Empire:

“It continuously seeks out subjects and identities that have been marginalised or stigmatised, and finds new ways to work them into a comedy framework without sacrificing heart and integrity.”

The A.V. Club:

“Sex Education retains its inherent sweetness and relatability, fleshing out its protagonists’ backstories and friendships without seeming overstuffed or superficial.”

Perri Nemiroff:

“Yet another hilarious, heartfelt and deeply honest season for the Netflix gem.”

Independent:

“In its third outing, the series remains cringingly honest and engagingly heartfelt, with just the right amount of pathos and the occasional outrageous sight gag.”

Hindustan Times:

“Quietly subversive, proudly progressive, and blessed with a delicate, empathic tone; Netflix’s deceptively titled show remains wildly stimulating.”

Radio Times:

“The show once again does an excellent job of showcasing its lesser-seen, supporting characters, who are still in need of sex advice, particularly with Otis and Maeve now retired from their clinic side-hustle.”

The most prominent aspects of Sex Education’s reviews is how it handles a range of different topics, but in a way that always feels authentic and heartfelt. This has long been key to the show’s success, as it has a genuine understanding of what teenagers go through and aims to be as understanding and empathetic as possible, while also exploring opposite viewpoints of those who may not understand so well. It’s never preachy with it, but is always passionate; season 3 is a great example, charting issues and questions around gender and sexuality in particular. Even without Otis & Maeve’s sex clinic, it handles these topics sensitively and with the care they deserve, but without ever being prevented from having fun with it and creating moments of both poignancy and hilarity. There’s nothing the show shies away from doing, saying, or showing, but crucially what’s underpinning that emotional honesty and bravery are characters and storylines that are both realistic and engaging.

Despite its 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, Sex Education season 3 isn’t perfect. As noted by The Daily Mirror, “some elements are a little too one dimensional and has the potential to frustrate.” This is echoed by NME’s review (not on RT at the time of writing), which is headlined “too many characters, too little time,” and discusses problems with just how many storylines the show is now trying to give space to. Its already large ensemble grows in size even more in season 3, and with only eight episodes to play with that does inevitably mean some characters get a shorter shrift than others. Even in its lesser moments, though, Sex Education season 3 remains admirably true to itself, and they’re so few and far between that, come the end of episode 8, most quibbles will have been forgotten.
