First and second episode were pretty good and had the makings of something interesting and scary, but the show quickly fell into sloppy, lazy writing and then devolved further until it was relying upon the basic cardinal sin of having characters make stupid decisions and/or not talking to one another properly in order to drive the plot forward. Even though the group of protagonists is supposed to be a Goonies-esque tight crew of friends, they somehow managed to be randomly stumbling around by themselves in various situations right up to the final episode, due to the bad writing and poorly planned or outright nonsensical motivations forcing them into ever more unlikely and dimwitted scenarios to force some level of suspense.
About halfway through the run I realised it was going to be a disappointment, but even still I didn't expect how shambolic the final episodes would turn out. Really, really bad.
On a positive note the writers did manage to create some excellent one-off scenes, but the overall narrative and writing around them was simply too poor and lazy, with the show descending into cringeworthy farce when Red Rose is finally exposed for what it is in the final couple of episodes.
Overall I'd not recommend anyone waste their time with this. It actually reflects poorly on Sex Education that it's the same writing team.
