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.

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.

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).

It lives up to the hype. The new FX series is genuinely hilarious.

I can’t remember her name but the women teacher who is ranked 26 on the hot chart is by far the funniest. She’s off the charts

What a compelling and incredible show! The writing, acting, production are all so well done. I had procrastinated a bit on watching it, but every second of it was worth watching and genuinely watching English Teacher made my day so much better. This really is a show that I will be so happy to watch future seasons of.

I stumbled on The English Teacher during a ‘nothing to watch on Hulu’ moment, and I’m so glad I did. The show’s poster drew me in, hinting at something unique, and it delivered—a smart, dry comedy with just the right mix of wit and nostalgia. Brian Jordan Alvarez’s humor is spot-on, and the cast clicks perfectly, making each episode feel like time spent with old friends. As a millennial, I loved the music choices—like a throwback playlist from an older sibling. It’s a show that’s more than just laughs; it has layers that make you want to share it and rewatch to catch all the clever details.

I need a season 2. This was one of my primary sources of dopamine this fall. I’d explain why it’s so phenomenal but its sum is greater than its parts. It must be experienced to fully GET.
