Summary of its Storyline
Otis Milburn, a student at Moordale Secondary School. Otis begins the series ambivalent about sex, in part because his single mother, Jean Milburn, is a sex therapist who frequently has affairs with male suitors but does not maintain romantic relationships.
Other students at Moordale Secondary include Eric Effiong, Otis’s best friend and the gay son of Ghanaian-Nigerian immigrants; Maeve Wiley, an intelligent and rebellious teen with a troubled family past; Adam Groff, headmaster Michael Groff’s son who develops a bullying nature out of his own self-loathing; Jackson Marchetti, the head boy struggling to meet the high expectations set for him; Ruby Matthews, Anwar Bakshi, and Olivia Hanan, members of a popular clique known as “the Untouchables”; Aimee Gibbs, an Untouchable who secretly befriends Maeve; and Lily Iglehart, a writer of alien erotica determined to lose her virginity.
The school is soon joined by Ola Nyman, whose widowed father, Jakob Nyman, begins a relationship with Jean. Otis’s father, womaniser Remi Milburn, and Maeve’s mother, drug addict Erin Wiley, later return to Moordale to reconnect with their children.
In the first series, Otis sets up a sex therapy clinic with Maeve to help the students of Moordale Secondary with their sexual problems. Their business becomes a success, but tension arises when Otis finds himself becoming attracted to Maeve.
In the second series, new students arrive at Moordale Secondary, including Ola, who becomes Otis’s first girlfriend. Maeve struggles to confess her feelings for Otis, Eric helps his former bully Adam come to terms with his sexuality, and Jean becomes the school’s resident sex therapist as a chlamydia outbreak highlights the teens’ need for better sex education.

Maeve works with English teacher Emily Sands to apply for an exchange program in America, Jean expects a baby in the near future, and new headmistress Hope Haddon’s plans to revamp Moordale Secondary creates conflict with the students.
Expectations for the Fourth Season
The fourth season is expected to rock the boat of the whole situation as it is being sequentially woven around the nucleus or central attraction of the narrative. Several questions have been popping up over which and what will be this or that? Will the students adjust to the new term at Cavendish Sixth Form College after Moordale Secondary is shut down? What happens to Ottis and the rival sex therapist on campus?
Well, I guess it is better if we keep our hopes high and wait till 21st September, 2023 when the FOURTH season will be released to the public for our consumption.
