English Teacher on FX and Hulu

[ronboster]

I searched the TV forum and did not see a thread dedicated to the show, if I missed it, leave a link and I'll ask a mod to lock this thread...thanks

This maybe my favorite show of the year. It's hilarious with really sharp writing and a great comedic cast. This goes from the leads all the way to actors have just a single line....they are all top notch.

I tend to be progressive, but this show skews both sides of a social topic... with deft comedy writing.

The leads are the showrunner and writer of the series:

Creator/Lead Actor/Writer/Director: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2755723/?ref_=tt_ov_st_1

Actress/Writer/Director: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3649584/?ref_=tt_ov_st_2

It's a PG13 to a soft R rating due to topics and language.

Here's a trailer:

English Teacher | Official Trailer | Brian Jordan Alvarez, Stephanie Koenig, Sean Patton | FX - YouTube

BTW: Ep 5 had a newly introduced character named "Sharon" (parent of one of the students). She stole every scene she was in. A lot of clips of some of her great lines all over social media.

I've watched the first 4 episodes. Really enjoying it so far. Very funny with a great cast. Always good to see Enrico Colantoni onscreen.

Cracking '80s soundtrack too.

One of the best new shows of the year, so funny

Haven't seen the newest episode... but the first three were really good, IMO.

It's great. I was on board from the double premiere.

Yikes, that trailer. Pass.

It looks like Twitter: The TV Show.

Personally, the trailer can't show you the really funny moments/lines ....like an R rated movie's all audience trailer.

Wow, I can't understand how I missed this series. The trailer is so funny. I had a similar English teacher in college. We talked 60% of the time about everything except English. True, then I had to look for someone who did my homework, I used https://ca.edubirdie.com/do-my-homework-for-me for this. But no big deal, I will remember those times for the rest of my life. It was a lot of fun and I can say that that teacher taught me a lot that was useful to me later in life.

One of the best shows of the year...just wish it had more than 8 episodes! Even for our modern TV era, 8 eps for a half-hour sitcom is so few lol

Sounds like renewal is in limbo due to sexual assault allegations against the star/creator:
