- TriviaWhen Jackson asks his mother (Hannah Waddingham) about whether she always knew she was a lesbian, she responds that there were a lot of things keeping her from acknowledging her attraction to other women growing up, and concludes with saying "Shame". Waddingham previously played in Game of Thrones (2011), where her character, Septa Unella, became famous for repeatedly saying the word "Shame".

Season Three Review
When I wrote my review of season two of "Sex Education" around 18 months ago, I said that "For my money, it wasn't quite as good as the first season, but it was still excellent stuff." For my money, season three isn't quite as good as season two, but it was still enjoyable stuff.
After a summer away, the class of Moordale college come back to some changes, such as a new headteacher, Hope (Jemima Kirke) who has some plans for rehabilitating the schools image, in the wake of last years negative press. Though initially open, her plans include severely decreasing the freedoms the students have previously enjoyed. Having not spoken to Maeve (Emma Mackey) all summer, Otis (Asa Butterfield) has begun an unlikely relationship with the schools leading fashionista Ruby (Mimi Keene), though this is a closely guarded secret.
Though my reviews tend to only give the second paragraph to plot summation, "Sex Education" is now such an ensemble piece that I haven't managed to detail even half of the stories that make up the run. Other's include Jean's pregnancy, the relationship between Eric and Adam, between Lily and Ola and a much larger role for Alistair Petrie as Mr Groff, discovering that he misses all that he's lost and the reasons why he's so emotionally distant. The show also includes a year trip to the battlefields of France and, for Eric, a trip to Nigeria - where prejudice against his sexuality is a matter of life and death.
I thought this season was again, really good, and we powered through it in only a few days. I do feel that it suffered somewhat by straying away from the actual 'education' aspect of the show and into more of a traditional comedy drama. I also think, looking back having seen the run, that it does end up being rather inconsequential. Very little has actually changed from the end of the last run, at this point. Though there are a couple of storylines that will run on into season four.
Again, though I'd argue that each season of the show has been inferior to the preceding one, it remains a really fun and funny experience and I'll certainly be back for the fourth (though I would, perhaps, advocate ending it then).
