Critics Consensus

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.

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.

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.

The Daily Beast

It’s a show that has fun with the prickliness of today’s exhausting discourse. There’s something novel about that. We could all use that lesson, to find the humor in all the messiness and uncertainty; luckily, class is about to be in session.

Alvarez combines precise and nuanced scripts with performances that avoid falling into stereotypes, offering a more complex and authentic representation of cultural conflicts. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

The script allows itself to give more room for a certain cynicism without leaving aside its purpose of being a pure comedy, to lift the spirits and please. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4.5/5

I can't get over the fact that the protagonist is supposed to be an English teacher, but uses execrable grammar including "separate Harry and I" and "between Harry and I." So annoying. Plus it's over-the-top frenetic and that's irritating too.

A series that manages to be very entertaining, but also is important in 2024.

The show is extraordinary. ... Did the mothers not bother to read their sons' papers before verbally assailing the teacher over the grade their sons' paper received? ... Stephen Crane was born after the Civil War, so I would rather read from a diary of an actual Civil War enlisted man. ... Is going to college now an ill-fitting burden similar to fighting in the Civil War 160 years ago, so reading the Red Badge of Courage is relevant to high school students today?

The humor is excellent. The show is fun and witty while also touching on real-world problems. Would definitely recommend.

Well-written and sharp, The English Teacher balances humor with timely, thought-provoking themes. That said, it’s hard to ignore the discomfort of seeing a second season greenlit despite serious allegations against its creator. Just another reminder of what the industry chooses to reward.
