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.

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.

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’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]

4.5/5

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]

This is one of the freshest comedies around. Season one and two definitely make you LOL and the the fast paced writing and dialogue is comedy at its best. Great throwback to 80’s music, too! Let’s get a season 3 green lit.
