[The group's teacher] is nothing compared to the students and the improbable dialogue that prevails. True, things brighten somewhat when the question "What is cancel culture?" arises. ... The trouble Miles confronts as he faces one party invitation problem—details of which needn't be reported here—is a promising one in its emotional force. Miles is a sign of hope for the introduction of human characters, capable of feeling, and a gift to the show. It is an extraordinary performance by Adrian Matthew Escalona.

More Peacock’s Punky Brewster than Peacock’s Saved by the Bell, the second and third episodes of Head of the Class rise to the lofty pinnacle of “fine.” And, as with the original series, the show is probably more likely to offer select memorable elements — Gomez and Escalona, particularly — than to be uniformly memorable.

We’re recommending it on the strength of Gomez’s lead performance and Lawrence’s ability to guide his showrunners to better episodes as his shows first seasons go along. But it’s too generic at this point to be considered a decent family sitcom, much less a successor to such a well-loved ’80s series.

Work past the ordinary pilot ep...use it to give you the characters. Consequent EPs get better. Gomez and Adrian Matthew Escalona bring it home for me...
