Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News “English Teacher” takes a kinder eye at the absurdity of the human condition, even joshing about the understandable messiness of the person [Alvarez] plays, high school English teacher Evan Marquez. Rated: 3/4 Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Proma Khosla indieWire With a promising starts, there’s still plenty of time to keep pushing its comedic potential. Rated: B Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai Globe and Mail Being woke is exhausting. English Teacher, a sharp and outrageously hilarious sitcom, is here to give us all a pat on the back for even trying. Sep 4, 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). Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Rachel Leishman The Mary Sue It lives up to the hype. The new FX series is genuinely hilarious. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Debora K Not what I thought, Show wasn’t even that funny and they couldn’t even get through the pilot episode without 2 guys sucking face but I found it boring so won’t be watching again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Helen R It’s so rare when everything works- the script, the acting, the music, the comedy, the plot- this is a true gem. Evan & his friends, the school kids and the long suffering principal: perfectly cast. Warm hearted, joyful, fast paced: this is something really special.
