"The high-school classroom is a minefield in a smart, biting comedy created by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez (the Will & Grace reboot) as Evan Marquez, an embattled yet idealistic teacher in a suburb of Austin, Texas. He’s openly gay — but “not that proud,” he quips — and frequently challenged by a meek and conflict-averse principal (a very funny Enrico Colantoni), hypercritical parents and easily triggered students. When a member of his extracurricular book club, which feels more like a support group, asks Evan, “Why would you want to stay at a job if they’re treating you like this?” he insists he still thinks he can make a difference. A triumphant second episode (10:30/9:30c) bears him out, when he recruits a drag queen (Trixie Mattel) to prep the football team for the popular gender-switching powder-puff game, which is in danger of being canceled. No such worries for English Teacher, which passes with flying colors"
Fun show after première episode ~ not one for the cursive language though. Will definitely continue to watch!
ReplyDeleteSame here. Also, the teachers all talk too fast around the lunch table. Hard to follow who’s saying what. But it’s a cute premise - have to see where it goes.
ReplyDeleteAgree on fast taking ~ glad to hear as I thought it was just my perception.
DeleteAfter 3 episodes ~ decided not for me ~ interesting premise ~ just done wrong in my opinion.
