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!!!!

A very funny and Fresh take on the high school sitcom genre. We follow an english teacher who happens to be gay. The dialog is smart and witty, the protagonists are likeable, the storyline gives plenty of possibilities to develop over time.
A lot of negative reviews focus on the LGBT+ part of the show. Of course, being gay is as much the main protagonist identity as being straight is part of my identity, but the show doesn't feel preachy. Instead the show focuses on the daily small things that sometimes feels very important, but usually aten't.
I hope the show gets the opportunity to develop, given time it could reach the level of Modern family or The office.

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.
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.
