i really want to add one thing that im so glad that the makers of the sex education didn't make the secondary romantic characters to the main cast to be complete assholes or bad guys for making the primary romantic characters to stand out more. while we're who's gonna end up with whom at the season finale, i really want to praise the characters of isaac, ruby & rahim to be such unique characters that made me so emotionally connected to them.
1. Ruby
so ruby williams, at first to most people like me, she definitely rubbed off as haughty & a spoiled brat who bullied people & never cared enough for anybody who isn't ready to take her orders. then by the end of s2 we discover she & otis have sex 'accidentally' & that leads to their 'casual relationship' in s3. but im literally shocked at how layered her character was. the makers really chose to save the best for later, she turns out to be a sensitive girl, a caring daughter and a really romantic person who hid all her good qualities with a bitchy-regina-george type attitude, when she is infact far from that. she did deserve better, but not as in otis-saying-i-love-you-back type better because otis actually never loved her. if otis had lied to her just to have sex with her, it would've been cruel & unkind to someone as honest as ruby. otis indeed did the right thing by telling her the truth. ofc it was hurtful but it was the right thing to do. i hope she finds someone who actually deserves her love in the later seasons.
2. Isaac
well well, what do we say about this character.? im completely gine for him. when i watched s2 i never actually thought id be writing something nice about him, who tried to have maeve by unfair means. who would've thought isaac would be this precious & this kind! he knows maeve inside out, he knows her favourite breakfast, he draws her face using his mouth & captures the exact look on her face, he cares about her & her family, he is like a best friend, a brother & a lover all wrapped in one for maeve. he is one of the most charming characters on the show ever, & i cant help shipping him with maeve even though i shipped otis & maeve for the past 2 seasons like crazy
bonus...
Adam
okay so i didn't mean to include him in this but how can i talk about sex education without talking about one of my most fave characters 😭😭😭😭 tbh, Adam's character had the greatest arc on the show. the character development from s1 to s3 was phenomenal & i can't help praising adam like my life depends on it! first we see an immature, big-dick-flaunting asshole & a bully in s1 who by the end discovers that he was confused about his sexuality. then he struggles with the confusion & his communication skills with his parents & friends throughout s2 & by the end he accepts the fact that he wasn't straight. then he goes on dating this guy he had a crush on since s1 but he also struggles to show his true feelings, but still tries to overcome his insecurities for his boyfriend. he educates himself, he accepts himself, he tries to be as good as he could...but he still struggles because if emotional negligence. ofc by the end what happens to him is...😔😔😔 but im so proud if my boy adam & my love for him has increased 10 fold! he's still a vulnerable baby in his heart who needs more care, love & attention. someone protect him pleaseeeee 🥺🥺🥺
