    i agree to a point.

    the goat was stupid

    cal was a stupid adition. far to one dimentional charicter. they should have used one of the background charicters that we already were familier with and explain the reasons for it a lot better. i wasnt sure if cal and jackson were having a romance or bromance .

    viv anoys me. she was great last season but this season she was a bitch and showed that she would do anything to get ahead.

    the headmistress was stupid. far to much of a racist, homophobe etc. and what was with the musical. they had her over a barrel with the recording and the hanging signs around their necks. and the locking cal in a room. they could have had her arrested or fired but they did that stupid plan and made themselves look even worse instead of the headmistresss


    i liked michael groffs arc but it didnt go anywhere as you say. seems a shame. hopefully setting up s4 . bad form not showing maurine as being part of the problem . they portray all the relationship issues as his fault

    not keen of maeve at the end there. why wasnt she there for otis while his mother is fighting for her life. maeve went to school and just text him. otis would have been there for her just like he was for her abortion


    not sure where otis s mothers pregnancy dna results are going. surely they wont go down the road of it not being jacobs baby. he had a good arc at the end and showed his back story

    Yeah season 3 was disappointing alright. A few funny moments but nowhere near as good as the first 2 seasons. I think the new headmistress character had a lot of potential but they made a balls of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,982 ✭✭✭Degag


    Such a terribly written character. First she came in wanting Otis and Maeve to continue the sex school then went into psycho prude mode a couple episodes later. Mad!

    Seems I’m in the majority here in that season 3 was poor. I mean at the end of season 2 they had imo some good storylines to build of but for whatever reason it seemed a slapdash. I’m assuming the filming of season 3 was delayed by covid, because it felt like the writers overthought things with extra time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,304 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Finished season 3 I seem to be in the minority but I really enjoyed it. The highlight was definitely episode 5. But I enjoyed the others. I found that last episode quite emotional.

    Roll on season 4.

    Watched it over the past few months, still enjoyed it. The headmaster not lasting was always going to be the case. The finale was heavily based on departures - actual, behavioural and so on. We need to see more of Groff's cooking. Good that he stood up to his brother in the penultimate one too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,871 ✭✭✭budhabob


    Finally got round to watching season 3, and I seem to be in the minority to think it was an improvement on a poor season 02.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Yeah Ola and Olivia are not coming back either. I wonder if Emma Mackey and Ncuti Gatwa will be in the next series or even for part of it since they are both in the new Barbie Movie and Ncuti is the new Doctor Who. I definitely think next season will be the last

    Dan Levy has joined the cast. Looks like it will be showing Maeve in the US too


    Some details on next season too

    It had a good run, I hope they do end it although Netflix does seem to either cancels shows too early or drag them out past their sell-by.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Final season coming September 21st. Makes complete sense that it's ending now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,634 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    people are moaning that it is ending but they are meant to be in school so it is fair to say the series wasn't going to go on like walking dead

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Some good laughs so far.


    That girl who specialises in giving the "surprise" extra needs to cut her nails or wear a glove.

    What a disappointment.


    So they drop rounded and interesting characters to bring in a load of one season caricatures. The only highlight there was seeing Jack Gleeson back on screen, after Geoffrey.


    Otis is a dickhead all season. Ignores Eric, sabotages an existing service, is selfish towards Maeve, strings Ruby along, and loses all advice mojo.


    Maeve has zero character growth. She's in the exact same place she was after season 3. Her mother's funeral episode was a bloody disaster (at least they had theidea of bringing the only caring teachers back, for a cameo). Her treatment of friends and Otis was worse than her isolationism of season 1, even with the clichéd challenges they throw at her.


    Eric is the new prophet. Where the hell did religious hallucination/prophecy come from? He's also an ass to Eric, dropping him for the cool gang with barely a thought.

    Isaac never seems to have to do anything about his actions, towards Maeve, in season 3.

    Ruby is done massively dirty. Getting used by Otis as a crutch, writers building towards a reckoning between herself and Otis, only for a complete character reset where she abandons growth for a chance to hand with the cool group. People are saying her final comment was an ultimatum, to Otis, the she doesn't need him as a friend so make a decision... it definitely doesn't play that way

    Jackson's entire run was pointless

    Viv is as painful as ever with a massively abrupt coercive control arc.

    Cal contemplated suicide but "praise Jesus", literally, all is well now

    Who gives a f*ck about the new kids ?

    O is a smarmy prick

    The cool kids are one dimensional as hell

    Second episode in tow and finding it hard going. Tge Otis-O thing is just plain stupid. He seems like a total loser expecting to be the only sex therapist on campus and assuming that O is copying him because he’s just so great. I wonder how he’ll deal with actually qualifying as a sex therapist down the line and all other practicing therapists not resigning en masse just because he can he the only one doing the job. They ruined what was a great show.



  • Registered Users Posts: 130 ✭✭Rackard


    Watched the whole season through. I very much enjoyed previous seasons but this was one the worst and most annoying seasons of a show I've ever seen.

    Just re-reading some older comments.

    Jesus Christ but Maureen was toxic this year. She wanted to be able to fu(k around all she wanted but started to get jealous when she heard that Michael was going on a date.

    Then hears therapists tell him that he needs to cut off any lingering asperations, to be able to live a healthy life, and over she comes for a shag (but don't tell anyone Michael)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,701 ✭✭✭Bacchus


    3 episodes in and this season is a slog. It's like they literally ripped up the last 3 seasons, kept the main characters and put them in new - very unrealistic - environments. There's been a few good laughs but where the previous seasons managed to ground the craziness in mundane, sometimes depressing backdrop with real world challenges, this is a cartoon. A world where the school is a fictional queer paradise. And I get that it's catering for an audience there (no issue with the principle of that there) but it's completely lost the grounded reality of the first 3 seasons. Is it even a school... there was one scene so far in a classroom, everything else is yoga, gym, a common area, and a load of very obviously adults acting like adults while pretending to be 17. The O storyline is dull and frustrating AF too. It feels like they messed up the setup for the final season. Given the aging actors, it would have worked better with a time jump to college. The stuff so far between Adam and his Dad, and Otis and Ruby have been the only interesting parts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,145 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    The new school is farcical. They went totally overboard with the whole woke trans thing. Apart from that is was fairly good. Not as good as previous seasons but that was to be expected.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,523 ✭✭✭the_pen_turner


    just watched the lasat ep today. im not sure what i feel about it yet. all i can feel is disapointment.

    Just finished it there, found previous seasons better. I think they were trying to cover too many things this season. The whole O thing was ridiculous, I mean how was there no actual therapist on campus. The whole Maeve /Otis relationship could have been done better



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,440 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    S4 got better towards the end, some good laughs at the funeral in particular. It explored some interesting topics, including teenage relationships and post natal depression - fairly entertaining, but definitely the right time to bring it to an end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,546 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Agree on the points with regards to the school setting. I understand using it as a basis for facilitating ideas and examining different minority groups, but **** me the characters were exhausting bores. I appreciate the efforts to really have representation, but divorcing it from reality just makes for empty pandering for me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,728 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    The weakest of all seasons, but I still enjoyed it.

    Nice to see the Mr.Goff and Adam sort things out.

    Meave was underused but her mothers death was definitely something I didn't see coming.

    Otis came across mean spirited this season.

    Eric becoming some new Prophet for God, also very out there and unexpected.

    Liked how they approached Jean with postpartum depression. Tricky issues rarely talked about that affects so many mothers.

    Always find Amiee hilarious. Brilliant character

    Ruby's Road to redemption ended up pointless.

    Honestly I could not give two fcuks about the new kids in the new school. Especially not for a final season of a show.

    Also that school seems like an absolute nightmare to teach in.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Registered Users Posts: 155 ✭✭Isthisthingon?


    In the real world a school like that couldn't possibly function. You couldn't go 5 minutes without someone finding offence at something or other.

    The casting for Adam and his dad was absolutely insanely good.

    Don't disagree with what you posted probably weakest season overall but still enjoyed it.
