I actually liked the way Otis and Maeve's story ended (I say this as someone who has shipped them since season 1). My only problem is that I feel like there weren't special moments between them like there used to be in season 1, or sometimes in season 2, that would have made their break up feel more impactful. I feel like Aimee and Maeve's relationship ended up outshining them, and even Isaac's small moment with Maeve this season felt like more of a connection than Otis had with her this season. I definitely loved what Maeve shared with Aimee and Isaac and would not change a thing. But, I would also add awesome Motis moments like we got when the show first came out. But I feel like the letter sort of made up for all the bullshit that went down between them and explained why she loved him. I still would have preferred if there were some season 1-like moments though.
Also, I didn't really like Ruby's last scene with Otis. I think it was a sign that she was putting herself first instead choosing to hang out with Otis when she clearly wasn't over him, which was good. But I wish the dialogue had been different. Or maybe I've completely misinterpreted the scene?
I actually quite liked this season overall for all of the characters, especially Maeve, Aimee, Ruby, Isaac, and Eric. I think Adam's arc was good too, he was just never my personal favourite.
Also, did anyone else expect that Molloy dude to steal Maeve's work? And a book from Maria Bronte's perspective sounds really interesting to me.

I finally scratched up enough energy and courage to watch the last two episodes of Sex Education. I cuddled my childhood teddybear and cried all through the last one. I always have a hard time dealing with final episodes, but this was particulary hard.
After having a massive breakdown after Erins funeral episode, which kept me up all night and ruined my entire day after, it took me several weeks to regain enough moxie to deal with the last two. Erin dying wasn't really a surprise, but what overflowed me in that moment was my reaction to her funeral. Both my grandfathers died this spring, so I recently been to two funerals for close relatives in a short time. Seeing the funeral-scene and seeing Maeve dealing with her mother's death turned out to be the tipping point for my brain and soul to finaly realize that my grandfathers really are gone and not coming back. I'll never call them again, I'll never hear their voices again and we'll never meet again. I think a big part of me really denied that up to that point.
With this in my luggage, I REALLY wanted things to end well in the last episode. Going in to the last season my only wish was for Maeve and Otis to end up together. That in mind you'd think I'm heartbrooken about the ending. Actually, I'm not. They could have made it easy and have Maeve stay or come back and she and Otis would live happily ever after. This was bigger than my sappy romantic brain ever could come up with, and still it was the most romantic ending to their story that they could've told. Maeve and Otis will always be together in heart and my sappy brain says that they'll find each other somehow, somewhere in life when they're supposed to. Faith, you know.
But lets also talk about Aimee a bit. Dear, sweet Aimee, my absolute favourite character in this series. And what a journey she does in this season! It makes me quite proud, to be honest. She's honest to herself, dares to speak up truly and lets herself be loved. She'll definitely go on to do big things!
Lastly I wanna talk about the journey that Otis's and Eric's friendship does in this season. Even though you've been friends forever it doesn't mean you can stop fighting for each other. It was natural for them to have a break, but I'm so glad they found their way back to each other because the truly complement one another.
That's it, now it's over. Thanks for everything!
