#SEXEDUCATION episode 4 thoughts:
Aaaah why did they end Ruby/Otis so soon? I was really enjoying their arc and dynamics. Also, I’m so glad that the relationship pushed Ruby to open up to Olivia and Anwar and deepen her friendships with them.

This episode was so interesting to me. It shows us all the ways in people connect romantically (or do not) depending on interests, views etc. like Jean/Jakob: no common interest, yes connection. Maureen/Sr. Groff: yes common interest, no connection.
Ruby/Otis: no common interest,

Slight connection. Isaac/Maeve: yes common interest, yes connection. Eric/Adam: no common interest, yes connection.

So on and so forth, and I LOVED IT!!!

The Isaac/Maeve almost-sex scene was one of the gentlest, most intimate scenes I’ve seen on TV, and I felt like I was really intruding on someone’s privacy. It was so beautifully and thoughtfully done. This show is so good.

So when s2 ended, I looooved Maeve and Otis, but I just find their chemistry and connection sort of lacking now?
I love slowburns SO much. Luke/Lorelei are one of my favorite ships, but I really wish these two would still be in each other’s orbit more to have us see their

connection to each other? Having them on separate paths feels like a disservice to the relationship. Maybe they were working together, or still friends, or idk some project etc and still had to spend time together, pining over each other…you can feel that! But I feel like

by having them on separate arcs, I find myself finding it hard to root for them as much as before. Oh well, let’s hope the future episodes change that.
