'Sex Education' Trailer: Netflix Series Stars Gillian Anderson & Asa Butterfield As Mother & Son Sex Gurus

When you’re in high school, there is perhaps no one more embarrassing in your life than your mom.

Yeah, you’re liable to want to crawl in a hole and not think about sex again. Welcome to the world of Netflix’s upcoming comedy series “Sex Education.”

As seen in the first trailer, “Sex Education” follows the story of a young man named Otis (Asa Butterfield), who is known as the guy with the sex therapist mom (Gillian Anderson). And when he and his best friend cook up the idea of picking up girls using a sex therapy clinic at his high school, things begin to get out of control for Otis. Add to the already awkward premise the fact that he’s in love with a girl that seems to want nothing to do with him, other than money, and a healthy dose of sexual identity issues that seem to be topics du jour most days, and it would appear that Netflix has another potentially quality series on its hands.
