In der US-amerikanischen Dramedy-Serie „English Teacher“ steht der Lehrer Evan Marquez (Brian Jordan Alvarez) aus Austin in Texas im Zentrum. Er reibt sich täglich bei dem Versuch auf, seinen Schülern ein modernes Weltbild zu vermitteln – wobei er damit zu kämpfen hat, dass sich Ansichten über Gendern und Geschlechterrollen ständig ändern und ihn oftmals die Schüler korrigieren, während andere Kollegen untätig oder ignorant sind und von Seiten von Eltern immer wieder Beschwerden kommen. Gleichzeitig sucht Evan nach seinem privatem Glück als schwuler Mann, nachdem eine vorherige Beziehung mit einem Kollegen in die Brüche gegangen ist.

Funniest tv show in this format I have seen in years. The writing and jokes are excellent. I can't remember the last show that made me lol this much. Really hope this gets a second season.
Utterly baffled at what anyone is finding funny about this. At best, it has the occasional moment that illicits a small internal chuckle. Otherwise it's just a whole heap of whining, mostly from the main character who is exceedingly unlikeable. In fact the only characters of interest are the head and the female teacher (see? I can't even recall the character name) but they get minor roles. In short, it's basically awful if you get past the appropriated music and slick production.
enjoyed this a lot more than I expected!
This show truly has been a hidden gem for me. I knew nothing about it going in, but I was blown away by how hilarious, heartfelt, and charismatic it was. Witty, with genuinely laugh out loud, funny moments. I adore each character and love their unique quirks. Exceptional music choices throughout too. I only wish the seasons were longer!
Gets surprised laughs from me all the time. I've been a casual fan of Brian Jordan Alvarez in Youtube and this is a good transition to a traditional series for him. You expect it to veer into the sappy (having been accustomed to comedies with a heart) but it never does. Or if it does, the sappiness is tempered by not a cynicism but clear eyed realism. And did I mention it's funny?
