Sex Education season 3
It’s finally time to return to Moordale Secondary and there are some changes ahead!
Having found a warmth, quirkiness and appropriately open attitude towards sexual identities, Sex Education knows what works and continues very much in the same vein.
However, much of the new run is dominated by the arrival of chic headmistress Hope Haddon, played by a rather snarky Jemima Kirke, who proves appearances can be deceptive as she rolls back any progressive values at Moordale Secondary and rules with an iron first not far off of Harry Potter’s Dolores Umbridge.
Sadly, despite Kirke’s best efforts, the writing for Hope becomes rather thin and at worst seems rather dated in terms of her character motivations and issue transference.
