Look, Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson knows you’ve been pretending to masturbate and she wants to know if you want to talk about it.
That’s how the cringe-worthy 2-minute trailer for Netflix’s new series “Sex Education” begins, letting viewers know right off the bat this story about sex therapist Jean (Anderson) and her teenage son, Otis (Asa Butterfield), is going to be horrifyingly hilarious in the most awkward of ways.
In the clip, which the streamer dropped Wednesday ahead of the show’s Jan. 11 launch, Otis begins to realize he can actually turn his embarrassment over his mother’s profession into a lucrative trade, as he and his friends start an underground sex therapy clinic at their high school.
