Netflix has released a trailer for its new high school comedy drama series Sex Education, featuring a bunch of awkward British teenagers and also Gillian Anderson saying the word “scrotum”. That last part alone makes this must-see TV, imo.

The coming-of-age series stars Asa Butterfield as Otis, a socially awkward teenager who finds himself reluctantly following the footsteps of his sex therapist mother (Anderson) by counselling his classmates on what’s happening with their junk. Think Big Mouth, but less gross.

Sex Education hits Netflix on January 11.
