English Teacher

It's a refreshing situation-comedy full of satire and sarcasm, it's not politically correct and it is very, very funny. I'm glad that the censors didn't butcher it by cutting pictures, topics and dialog. It plays against stereotypes, like Markie the PE teacher and coach who is smart and has figured out the students and is not a stereotypical brainless jock/coach.

The scripts for the first three episodes I've seen are very original, with great characters who are well written. The dialog is funny and original. Brian Jordan Alvarez, Stephanie Koenig, Sean Patton and Enrico Colantoni are exceptional. And kudos to the young actors/actresses who play the students, they're very good.

FX only ordered 8 episodes, this should have received 18 or 22 episodes it's so well written. This will be copied by other networks because it's so original. I normally hate sit-coms because they'd stupid and not funny, this one is very funny without a laugh track or an audience.

Nailed it. Haha. So I wasn't impressed with the promos, but this is a clever satire of teaching at high school in 2024. This isn't for everyone, but they hit the multifaceted influences of politics on education and every changing Zoomer / Alpha generation. The obsession with phones and recording teachers is real. The high schoolers saying they feel targeted, bullied, and triggered while exchanging insults is spot on. The teachers are obvious caricatures of very familiar teacher stereotypes. The only thing not believable is how small the football stadium is at a high school in Texas, and the students look like they're in their early 20s. If you like silly sitcoms that are spoofs of teaching high school, you'll like this. If you don't like it, then don't watch it.

Am reviewing after only one episode, but based on that, would offer a cautious recommendation. The actors do a commendable job, and the writers nail the myriad issues in today's cultural/political environment that high school students, their parents, and the teachers have to navigate in today's overheated times. In doing so, there are a handful of laughs intermixed with some more poignant moments, and those make for entertaining viewing. But the overall tone tends to run a bit shrill and overplayed which diminishes the impact. Worth giving a look but at least so far not the succeess one might hope for.

Cinema and TV shows have been scared to write jokes because of the climate we now live in, but this show is what we need! The humor is tongue in cheek, honest, and puts a mirror up to us so we can see how absurdly toxic this generation can be with views!

The chemistry between the cast is stellar along with originality in jokes and plot. We haven't seen a show like this in a long time, especially showing diversity in a way we have never seen before! There's no fear in joking about the differences we all have in this world, exemplifying inclusivity while putting a spotlight on how "loud" our views can be. Thank you English Teacher for teaching TV how to poke fun at everyone again!

This show better be renewed!!!!

This show is absolutely hilarious. I'm also a mother with 2 gen z's and one gen alpha. It's fairly accurate and my daughter can relate. I love how Jordan is showing all sides, including all the contradictions, when it comes to schools and lgbtq related issues. And to the reviewer that gave 1 star, based on your other only 1 star reviews, you could seriously benefit from a spelling and grammar lesson with Mr. Marquez. And side note, having lgbtq representation doesn't make it an agenda. It's reality. They exist. It may be exaggerated for comedy, but there's no evil agenda. Relax. Have fun. It's damn funny.
