Dec 8, 2021it tried. It failed.
While the situations are all too recognizable for those who actually have taught in an urban setting, this show misses the delicate balance of truth, satire, and comedy needed to make this a successful show.
The stereotype characters and the acting were way too over the top. It became painful to watch after the first few minutes.
Not planning to watch again.

It has Parks and Recreation’s sense of community, Modern Family’s precision-tooling, Ted Lasso’s charm, but it is its own, hilarious thing. Despite – or, of course, because of – the truth its underlying tale of real-life deprivation tells.

This is a sitcom, sure. But the world it builds rings with authenticity. There are occasionally some extremely local Philadelphia jokes, and those too hit with the pinpointed accuracy of a laser beam.

There's much more heart in Abbott Elementary [than American Auto]. ... The ensemble is terrific. [17 - 30 Jan 2022, p.8]
