Sex Education - Season 3: review

This show had a very positive evolution. It grew, improved, and approached a lot of topics that many would consider taboo. Check the previous review here.

This season starts with a significant change at Moordale’s - Hope, the new head-teacher. She may look nice in the first 5 minutes, but you’ll quickly realize she is there to make the students’ life very difficult.

Relationships are more than sex

The show always focused on the complexity of relationships, and despite its title, it talks about more than sex.

To build a relationship, you must learn to listen, understand and deal with the other person. You need to discover them. The problem is, when you’re a teenager, you don’t know who you are yet. How would you be able to focus on others?

Have you ever felt weird? Sure. Who never, right? But do you remember the dimension those feelings could gain when you’re a teen?

There are more than boys and girls

Gender identity is the new topic of the season. As usually is represented in a sweet and understanding way. It helps the viewer comprehend the situation and emphasize with the characters.

There are a significant amount of different kinds of relationships and a wide concept of sexuality and self-discovery. In Sex Education, they try to make everyone feel represented. And that’s so important!

Comic moments

The show is about self-discovery and respecting everyone, but what makes it even better is the sense of humor. It can surprise you and definitely will make you laugh.

That trip to France was amazing!

Life is hard

The students learn a crucial lesson: life is hard. Things will not be okay now because they went wrong before. Life has no compassion and doesn’t owe you anything. You need to try harder and harder until you reach your goal.

Sex Education is also a story about fighting for what you want and believe in yourself.

Who am I?

The biggest goal of us all is to find ourselves. It is a diary and scary fight, yet, quite rewarding. Sex Education has a delightful way of showing this.

Once more, a great season that makes us eagerly wait for the next one.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

The Mist (2017) - quick review

A thick mist falls up a town, and something about it isn’t right - good premise. We would expect nothing less than good from a Stephen King’s book. Yet, as we all know, book adaptations can be quite disappointing. It goes from good to terrible. I loved the plot and, in the beginning, I was very curious and interested - it was almost impossible to stop watching it. Yet, at some point, it started to get on my nerves, and not in the way that a good horror show should. As we got closer to the end of the season, many things stopped making sense. Some characters are simply… not believable. The explanations for whatever was happening were ridiculous and easily refutable. It all took away the feeling of “this could be real”. It killed my interest. Many changes were made to the original novel. Some of them were interesting and made the story better, yet others were… well, nonsense. Cast and production As I said before, the first episodes were good and made us want to keep watching, but I was

Show Review: Emily in Paris

It took me a long time to give Emily in Paris a shot because I thought it would be a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer. Well, it is a silly, shallow comedy about some sort of influencer, but to be honest, I liked it. Emily is a young talent in a marketing career and has the opportunity of her life: working in Paris for a year! And since her boyfriend is an idiot, she can try the full experience of being a single woman in the city of love. Unfortunately, she is not as good at managing her personal life as she is at work. In fact, she is frankly terrible at making decisions outside work. Cultural Differences Everyone who has been in a foreign country knows that sometimes we get ourselves into awkward situations due to cultural differences. So watching someone else go through the same is quite funny. I must admit that seeing an American trying to speak French is hilarious. Of course, I’m not French (and French people who hear me trying to speak French could have a s
