Otis begins dolling out advice to his classmates\u2014in exchange for money\u2014and what happens next is typical teen comedy. And we mean that in the best way possible. Problems he encounters are out of control pubes, an addiction to &#8220;wanking,&#8221; genital size-related confidence issues, and so much more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"57\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"4\">\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t choose who you&#8217;re attracted to.

The series, which hails from creator and showrunner <strong>Laurie Nunn<\/strong>, also stars <strong>Emma Mackey<\/strong>, <strong>James Purefoy<\/strong>, <strong>Ncuti Gatway<\/strong>, <strong>Connor Swindells<\/strong> and <strong>Kedar Williams-Stirling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The show is a funny, heart-warming and utterly cringe-worthy look at teenage sex, love and identity. It&#8217;s a contemporary British love-letter to the American high-school TV shows that so many of us grew up loving. It takes the familiar tropes of the genre and pushes them into new and current territory, telling a nostalgic coming of age tale from a different perspective,&#8221; Nunn said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"12\">\n<p>The hook of a teen sex therapist quickly opened up doors for the writers, Nunn said. &#8220;What started as an interesting hook for a comedy show about teenagers, quickly progressed into an opportunity to deal with often unspoken and difficult issues concerning early sexual experiences, the painful reality of puberty and the urgent need for inclusive sex education,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sex Education<\/em> premieres Friday, Jan. 11 on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/999609\/netflix-s-sex-education-looks-like-it-ll-be-your-new-comedy-favorite?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\">via:: E!
