A.P. Bio - TV Series Review

‘A.P Bio is a comedy series that revolves around a one-of-a-kind misadventures of an ex-philosophy professor, Jack Griffin, who is forced to teach in a high school teaching Biology. However, instead of teaching biology, he involves the students in planning and acting out revenges on his imagined foes.

These give core themes of revenge, the discovery of the self and finding friends in most unexpected places. Explaining the show as a dark humorous tradition, the series depicts high school as the context for rather odd philosophical investigations; it unveils the hilariously excessivecapabilities of the human mind in the attempts to get satisfaction and recognition.

Jack Griffin the protagonist is portrayed by Glenn Howerton, who captured every emotion of a disgruntled but highly intelligent man perfectly; Patton Oswalt played the role of the slightly mediocre Principal Durbin. Together with a talented ensemble cast, they bring on screen chemistry and comic flair that is translated to each and every scene.

The series is directed by Oz Rodriguez and others and thus has right comedic timing and uses of an innovative story telling direction. It adds the concept of the absurdity to the young characters, but allowing them to have real feelings that the viewers can follow and be interested in.

The music you included suits the show in A.P. Bio since it is funny and plays with the characters most of the time. Not only does the score properly hint its presence during the comical parts, but it also slightly intensifies the emotional parts in the show without drowning the story in music.

Camera work is simple yet satisfying, revealing the overall atmosphere and the characteristics of a high school environment and the character arcs. It uses shots of the characters and close-ups at almost jokes and employs wider shots for situational comedy.

Surprisingly, the work done on the production design of the movie evokes a real look and feel of high school with added quirk which is quite realistic – the ordinary and the extraordinary are both simultaneously present in Heathers. Yeah, there is a place for struggle and it is the classroom, or in this case classroom turned comedy stage.

Lacking use of heavy special effects makes A.P. Bio use practical prop settings, which acts as the show’s form of boosting its comedic theme. Evidently, straightforward these elements are helpful for maintaining the show’s theme of realism underlining absurdity of the comedy.

Subbing and dubbing: The comedic skills evident in this episode are well supported by the editing to make it even more pleasant to watch; the usual editing is also good and important in a comedy series as it makes sure that each joke delivers the message while skipping swiftly to the next. There are smooth scene-change transitions to facilitate effective telling of the story.

Further, the show that is A.P. Bio has a good and lively flow in all its episodes. Comedy, therefore, maintains the audience’s attention through the rapidly delivered punchlines and at the same time introduces the audience to real character transformations without becoming boring.

Conversation itself in the series is tense and actively employs banter that delves into character relationships and turns into hilarious slapstick. This is saying that one can hardly tell that the show has been scripted because of how original it can be especially due to the special features of characters.

‘Yes, if one will look closely, the series shines most when the characters are funny However, some will inevitably observe that revenge arcs sometimes edge out character development.’ As good as the game is, a little more care should be taken to balance fun and… well, progress, the latter of which, in my opinion, is slightly underrepresented here.

A.P. Bio is one of the most hilarious sitcoms in the high school comedy space. It is cute and quirky with spots of great humor that makes you think or smile the next day. It leaves the viewers entertained while also making them contemplate about the idea of purpose in the stranger light.
