TV ranking highlights painful breakups in Sex Education and Buffy
A ranking of disappointing TV breakups includes couples from Sex Education and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
In Sex Education, Otis and Maeve work together to run a sex therapy clinic at their secondary school.
They spend several seasons missing each other’s feelings before finally starting a relationship.
They part ways in the finale because Maeve is pursuing school in America and they do not want a long-distance relationship.
Buffy and Angel’s romance unfolds in Sunnydale, where Buffy fights evil and Angel, a vampire cursed with a conscience, helps her.
Their relationship is complicated by the effects of Angel’s curse, which once made him a killer again.
The ranking frames these splits as disappointing because the couples’ stories build toward love but do not end with them together.
TVLine ranked Otis and Maeve from Sex Education as the 10th most disappointing TV breakup.
The article says the pair ultimately part ways rather than maintain a long-distance relationship while Maeve pursues school in America.
Angel and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer ranked ninth.
The article describes their relationship as complicated by Angel’s curse, which is temporarily lifted after they sleep together.
