What Season 1 of Sex Education

Otis Milburn is a shy, virgin, and socially awkward teen. His mother, Jean, is a sex therapist who talks about sex with total frankness, so he seems to have an answer for almost everything, even though he isn't sure where he stands himself. When Maeve Wiley, a smart but troubled classmate, finds out, she proposes setting up a sex advice clinic at Moordale secondary school. Together, Otis and Maeve help their classmates while trying to work through their own conflicts. Eric, Otis's friend, encourages him to leave his inexperience behind, and Otis starts to feel attracted to Maeve.
