English Teacher makes no bones about the drudgery of faculty life while never feeling like homework, making for a biting and buoyant schoolhouse sitcom.

Barry Levitt TIME Magazine There's a compelling frankness to the conversation, and indeed to English Teacher. It's raw, outrageous, shocking, complicated, and problematic. It's human. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Stef Rubino Autostraddle English Teacher is effective in highlighting these issues, even if it rarely takes them on in a way that feels truly meaningful... there’s a lot more room for English Teacher to grow. For now, I’m giving it a C. Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) English Teacher obviously has room to grow, but it makes a terrific entrance and reminds us that the comedy is television’s most pliable genre. I’m giving it an A-minus. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Joey Moser The Contending English Teacher is Alvarez's sharpest, most assured work to date. Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba It accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of addressing our annoyance with certain aspects of modern youth culture while still treating young people with understanding and respect. I cannot recommend it more. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media The episodes play like old-school issue-of-the-week sitcoms, yet the dialogue is fresh, the characters are lovable, and English Teacher is just plain fun—a lot more fun than going to school yourself (or teaching in it, for that matter).

Melly B Just hand Brian Jordan Alvarez the Emmy for Best Comedy Series and call it a day. There hasn't been a television show with this much humor and heart since Schitt's Creek. Also, the song choices are perfect—this guy knows the way to an elder millennial's ears. My only complaint is that Evan says "less sleepovers," which is incorrect. It should be "fewer sleepovers." This English major would love to consult on "English Teacher." : ) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review K O extremely funny and surprisingly nuanced Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Andrei D It never focuses on the teacher to student relationship enough and is only intermittently funny Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Andrei D Needs some extra teacher on student joke action and less attention on the rest of the faculty Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Gabriela B This show is so funny. It’s been a long time since I found a show this well written and clever. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review SuperFrank C What a great show! Smart, funny, and so well written!
