It goes without saying that Gillian Anderson is completely and utterly iconic. But, this might be the first time we've seen her in a role where she asks her teenage son if he wants to chat about masturbation and asks fully-grown men about their first memories of their, uuhh, scrotums.
In Netflix's new original series Sex Education, Anderson plays Jean, a sex therapist with a teenage son, Otis, who's somewhat clueless about her specialist subject.
So, when Otis decides to set up a Sex Therapy clinic at his secondary school in order to climb the social ranks, he ends up hearing all his peers' worries about their sexual activity and genitalia.
"I've noticed you're pretending to masturbate," Jean asks Otis in the first few seconds of the trailer. "And I was wondering if you wanted to talk about it."
Like I said: iconic.
'Sex Education' will be available on Netflix from Jan. 11, 2019.
