  Adam and Aimee once again carried the show with their well written character growth. Easily the best characters in the show imo.

  The worst part about Otis versus O is that Otis was just wrong. Not only is it bizarre that he’d think he was the only person that would come up with the idea of being a sex therapist, he wasn’t the one that came up with that idea. It was Maeve’s idea

  Can we also talk about how these teenagers with no training are consistently referred to as “therapists” and O is placed on the same plane as Jean who is a professional with years of experience and a PhD? Like in what world???? Giving advice and peer-to-peer support is great, but framing them as “therapists” is really dangerous IMO

  Drove me insane how the show went from super relatable, real life stories to completely unrealistic storylines that just were outright annoying.

  Ironically I think the most powerful asexual representation is earlier in the series when Jean had that discussion with that asexual student. It worked so well to have an adult tell someone that sexuality and sex dont make them whole, so they could never be broken.

  What they did with Ruby was so frustrating. It’s so disappointing to make her entire arc about revenge and unrequited love for a guy that is treating her like shit especially when an arc about her figuring out how much she loves PR Manager work is RIGHT THERE.

  for me the worst part was how unrealistic everything became. Before it felt like i was watching real people, with real problems and a real life. now it's just drama in a super bright and colored setting with storylines that i can't imagine hardly anyone relating to. who cares about O and Otis??? I missed when these characters had real, genuine struggle that anyone could see themselves into

  Something that really bothered me and that wasn't really mentioned in this video, is how Jakob leaving Jean and completely disappearing from their lifes basically negates EVERYTHING they went through in the last season. All the effort and struggles they put into building a family, Jakob addressing his trust issues in therapy, only to find out that the kid he lovingly built a tree house for isn't his and promptly leaving his kind-of-partner who almost died... Ola naming the baby after the discussion she had with her dad about how their lifes were about to change... Jakob telling Otis he'd be there for him no matter what... In the end, all of this just didn't matter AT ALL, as if it had never happened. We don't even know how Ola and Jakob dealt with the situation. I was pretty invested in their patchwork-family-dynamics in season 3, I was rooting for them to at least have closure and a satisfying end, but they just completely brushed it off this season.

  They mangled O's character to be such a smug and manipulative person that when she came out as asexual I didn't believe that it was genuine at first.  I thought that it was just for the debate until it went on long enough that it had to be true.  They really screwed up with her character if we were supposed to like her.

  They should’ve made ruby’s arc realising how she can be independent and doesn’t need love desperately, and that she really enjoyed PR or campaign work. Have her leave cavendish to go to the world of employment. Ruby deserved more.

  I was sexually assaulted multiple times as a teenager. Seeing Aimee healing from her experiences, and seeing her become more comfortable with intimacy was so beautiful. Often in media, when someone is sexually assaulted, it sends them into a downward spiral that they never get out of - which is true, it does happen. But seeing a victim like myself healing from that type of trauma? It was a good representation of that it is very possible to heal and move forward.

  the thing that was absolutely unbelievable to me was the idea that a college would let students run it in any way, shape, or form. a "student run campus" is just a fantasy
