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.

English Teacher is Alvarez's sharpest, most assured work to date.

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.

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).

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." : )

It never focuses on the teacher to student relationship enough and is only intermittently funny

Needs some extra teacher on student joke action and less attention on the rest of the faculty

This show is so funny. It’s been a long time since I found a show this well written and clever.
