I have no control over what they do at their friends\u2019 houses. I have no control over what their friends show them. And I have had conversations with them about certain aspects of the show, and also the importance of certain aspects of the show, and conversations that are had that aren\u2019t usually had on television that are very important, if not vital, for young people to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All eight episodes of the third series are available right now, and we may not have that long to wait until we get to see Sex Education series four!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sex Education season 3 is streaming on Netflix now. <\/strong><span class=\"&quot;s1&quot;\"><b>Check out the\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/what-to-watch-tv\/best-tv-shows-netflix\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\"><b>best Netflix series<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/what-to-watch\/netflix-best-movies\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\"><b>best Netflix movies<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>\u00a0to keep you entertained or visit our\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\"><b>TV Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>\u00a0for more to watch.
