I love this show, but i just finished the fourth season and I am so disappointed. (SPOILERS AHEAD) The first three seasons of this show are absolutely brilliant. Funny, emotional, amazing character development, great emotional complexity. I'm not one to care much about these things but the fourth season felt so painfully careless and rushed, that i was literally offended. How could they do such little justice for such an iconic show? It's so weirdly eventless and also chaotic at the same time? It felt like they were just trying to tie all the loose strings instead of actually adding new plot and character development. The least they could've done was extend the series to a 12 episode or something so that we had more time to process everything that happens. Like Eric having spiritual visions? Where did that come from? And Jacksons cancer scare? They also never mentioned any of the characters that didn't come back after season 3 which is just upsetting. ALSO WHY DOES EVERYONE LOOK SO OLD?!?!?!? THESE SUPPOSED 17 YEAR OLDS ARE WALKING AROUND WITH WRINKLES AND A HIP REPLACEMENT!! Was there seriously nothing they could've done to make mainly Otis and Ruby look younger? But the thing that disappoints me the most is the disrespect to Adam/Eric and Otis/Maeve. They spent all three seasons developing these relationships just to throw them away like that? Truly what were they smoking in that writing room. Especially Adam and Eric. Their characters were MEANT for each other but the story ends with Adam getting asked out by some random horse girl? Nah... The last thing I want to mention is the random diversity points. I'm all for more representation in the media trust me, and I think Sex Ed has done an outstanding job executing this in the past, but the fact that all of a sudden everyone is going to this college where most of the student body is stereotypically LGBT is very weird. All the queer kids dress, talk, and act similar, with little character complexity (except Eric and Adam.) it felt like they were just trying to appeal to a Gen Z audience. This is coming from someone Gen Z. Something i loved in the previous seasons was the fuzzy timeline. you didn't know if the show took place in the 80s or 00s or current day. And there was something so comforting about that. But this new season just felt like an unrealistic image of what some geriatric white guy thinks the world is like now. And I personally find it odd and disrespectful that none of the queer students had their own unique interests and personalities. This show went from being complex and amazing, to literally so terrible that i felt like i was having a bad dream.

its such a horrible show i love it so much
