With a new twist in every episode and a new drama in every season, Sex Education became an immediate hit after the release of Season 1. Then came along Season 2 in the next year which was equally loved by fans.

Luckily for you, we have all the inside intel and are willing to share it with you.
Sex Education Plot ( A recap of season 1 and 2)
Sex Education revolves around a dorky and awkward teenager Otis who fits in perfectly with the crowd of high schoolers that go unnoticed. There is just one problem and that is his mom aka Jean, a sex therapist. His mom’s profession and actions make Otis highlighted now and then and in a not so positive manner. However, in season 1 things take a turn as Otis starts giving sex advice to the students of Moordale High. Not only does he start becoming popular in a positive way, but he also starts charging money along with Maeve for his expert advice.
Obviously, things can’t be that easy in a teen NetFlix show! Otis gets caught by his mom for giving out advice. He also manages to get feelings for Maeve who also feels the same but they get caught in a whirlwind of hesitation, anxiety, and high school drama. Besides this, things between his childhood best friend Eric also become sour as Otis is unable to be there for his friend due to his ongoing activities.
Additionally, season 2 ends in the most unexpected way. Just after making viewers hold on to their seats with nail-biting scenes as Otis finally confesses his love for Maeve in a voicemail which Isaac very conveniently deletes and Jean becomes pregnant just after her breakup, the last episode of Season 2 came to an end.
