Meet Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) – an inexperienced, socially awkward high school student who lives with his mother, a sex therapist. Surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis is a reluctant expert on the subject. When his home life is revealed at school, Otis realizes that he can use his specialist knowledge to gain status. He teams up with Maeve, a whip-smart bad-girl, and together they set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their fellow students’ weird and wonderful problems. Through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realises he may need some therapy of his own. (Netflix)

Sex Education (2019)
What is this? A big surprise that delighted me immensely. Great humour, original, inventive and entertaining dialogues, but the main thing I have to highlight are the performances of the two male leads, because I had a great time with Asa Butterfield and Ncuti Gatwa. Their characters are fun, and their expressions, their grimaces... just perfection. Asa is talented, but we've known that for a while, but Ncuti aka Eric is the acting discovery of the year for me. It's true that I enjoyed the comedy episodes a bit more, because there's a momentum and punch to it. Once it gets more dramatic, it certainly doesn't get boring, but it does detract a bit from the overall mood of the series. Actually, it has only one flaw, not enough episodes, I would have taken more if it kept the quality.
