Everything about this is just wrong. This isn’t even about Otis and Maeve. Imagine a creator of a show decided to create two central romantic characters of their own show and says all of this. My God. There is NO defending Laurie Nunn on this. How can anyone possibly?

“Yeah I’ve always been pretty sure that Otis and Maeve wouldn’t end up together” a direct quote from the creator of Sex Education Laurie Nunn.

Imagine if the creators of Friends came out on an interview and said they never wanted Ross and Rachel together despite creating them and their relationship. The same with the creators of Brooklyn Nine Nine with Jake and Amy. The same with the creators of The Office (US) with Jim and Pam. The same with the creators of How I Met Your Mother with Ted and Robin I say begrudgingly ( I’m Team Robin and Barney by the way ) or the creators of The Big Bang Theory with Leonard and Penny. Or the creators of any other of your favourite tv shows that you like that I didn’t mention. How would you feel if the creators of your favourite tv show decided to go out on an interview and literally say that the two main romantic characters of the series’ relationship is essentially a waste of time because they never wanted them together in the first place. How would the reception of these shows be if the creators of all these different shows said that. But Laurie Nunn did that for Sex Education. A complete waste of time.

A TV show or movie creator/producer should NEVER go on an interview and say that they had no desires to put their two main romantic characters who THEY created together. It’s just a bad move. Why even waste your and the audiences time by even saying and doing that?

Otis and Maeve didn’t stay together because they weren’t compatible or that they wanted different things in life or whatever else reason. It’s because the creator of the show didn’t want them being together from the very beginning. So the 5 years we all spent being invested in the Otis and Maeve relationship was ultimately a complete waste of time. Otis and Maeve were 1 year away from being 18. Fully grown adults. And you mean to tell me you can’t find love at 18?

Why was Sex Education ultimately such a disappointment in the end? Look at what the creator of the show says on interviews. And this isn’t the first time that Laurie Nunn has made herself look foolish in interviews. My God.

But what difference does it make? The show ended how it ended, what is changed by the creator admitting that? I’d assume the show was more about how they each grew through the ups and downs they experienced, not that it was a direct pipeline to them being together. And not that I’d necessarily want this, but could open up a possibility to a follow on series about them rediscovering each other later on
