A group of dedicated, passionate teachers -- and a slightly tone-deaf principal -- find themselves thrown together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do -- even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe Like any show, “Abbott” occasionally has missteps, but it’s maintained a strong sense of who its characters are and the core of the story it’s telling about them. Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com The fact that Abbott Elementary is willing to wade into this class politics discussion with a hopeful smile on its face and loses none of its glee is an accomplishment. Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Sam Huang Mediaversity Reviews Abbott Elementary leans into its feel-good credentials without ignoring difficult material. Rated: A Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Kaleena Rivera Pajiba It would seem that, along with not getting much in the way of rest, Brunson has also maintained a firm handle on the show’s quality at a time when it would be easy to let the crew take their collective foot off the gas. Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Joshua Harris Paste Magazine Abbott’s writing remains as sharp as ever, seamlessly lending laugh-out-loud moments with earnest and heartfelt interactions. With a season-long arc focused on gentrification, the series promises to deliver fresh narratives while preserving its charm. Rated: 8.2/10 Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Sarah Little Screen Rant Following the exciting season 3 finale, Abbott Elementary returns with season 4 and proves why it's one of the best shows on network TV. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Camellia B It's an amazing show for the entire family. My husband and I enjoy it, along with my 73 y/o mom ad my 11 y/o son. It's the one primetime show that I watch every week-Live. Then, I stream again next day!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review David L very funny season, leaning into a new humor very good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Keith M Season 1 was spectacular. Season 2 was pretty good. Season 3 - I stopped watching after about 3 shows. Season 4 - I'm not going to waste my time. Writing and story lines got stale quickly. And ENOUGH with Ava, who gets waaaayyyy too much screen time. (...and she's a terrible actress to boot) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Debi H This was once a poignant and clever show with a strong thematic base. Now, it's just another cheap formula dating disaster. No more compelling stories about education, idealistic teachers and hope. No more themes of hope. Now, it's moronic junior high level "romantic" nonsense about...what? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review micah c Abbott Elementary stands as one of network televisions best comedy’s right now and season 4 keeps it going. The cast and crew worked so hard on this season and it paid off. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
