From socially awkward teenager to resident sex advisor in his high school, Otis has his work cut out for him as he tries to educate his fellow students on how to deal with their sexual problems. Sex Education follows Otis’ high school misadventures, as well as his odd relationship with his sex-therapist mother. Get ready for laughs, love, some lube, and the best time of these high schoolers’ lives.
Why Is Sex Education Popular in Australia?
The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson stars as Otis’ frank and unfiltered mother, who also happens to be a sex therapist. Given his somewhat in-depth knowledge about the topic thanks to his mom, Otis sets out to become the school’s sex expert in hopes of improving his status. Sex Education is a Netflix original series that has received critical acclaim with its heartfelt and surprisingly wise storyline and dialogue, which sees a group of awkward teens encountering sexual misadventures that even adults could learn a thing from. Season 1 is now currently streaming and it’s been announced early this year that there will be a second season coming soon.
Sex Education Season 2 TV Preview
Otis Milburn is a rather socially awkward teenager with a frank sex therapist for a mom. He has remained ambivalent towards sex, which suddenly changes when he inadvertently helps the school bully with his sexual performance anxiety. Given his in-depth knowledge in the matter, he decides to partner up with Maeve — a confident and whip-smart, but vulnerable classmate — to set up an underground sex therapy clinic to help their fellow students with various sexual problems.
Starring Asa Butterfield as Otis, Emma Mackey as Maeve, and Gillian Anderson as Dr. Jean Milburn, Sex Therapy has a total of 8 episodes, which are available to stream on Netflix.
