English Teacher - TV Series Review

English Teacher is an autobiography of Evan, a gay high school English teacher, struggling to survive and search for identity in between teenage battles, parental cultures, and sexual orientation. This is located in Austin, Texas, and the flavor brings extra liveliness to the proceedings, like putting gasoline on a fire that gives truth to the school’s mix of personalities. Evan’s story pulled together with lots of funny accidents and sweet scenes explores the topics of acceptance, friendship, and responsibility based on the simplicity of school life and the complexity of accepting people’s differences. The tone is as a mid-line between comedy and dramatic which portray life as it is but with opportunities for humor. The appearance of gay interest and LGBT themes added to it completely new dimension and makes it much more than comedy.

Brian Jordan Alvarez cast is quite talented and genuinely portrays Evan, making him easily relatable while being complex and meaningful. It is nice to note some real chemistry between him and Stephanie Koenig. Enrico Colantoni and Sean Patton, two of the casts, provide personality to the roles and dimension to the plot.

This work succeeds in presenting an enjoyable mix of comedy and a true story of homosexual people’s ordinary life, which makes one feel comfortable while watching the movie, unlike some previous work of the comedy genre together with homosexual topics. Their vision is one of the reasons that the show is practiced in depicting the struggles and achievements within the school series, while keeping a sense of care with the issues at hand.

The music of English Teacher although low key serves the show’s emotional storylines quite well. It brilliantly punctuates some funny and suspenseful scenes adding more to the themes of love, acceptance, and personal development.

The shooting marvelously captures the spirit and color of Austin, and endows the show with specific and authentic atmosphere. The change between school environments and personal realms is smooth, providing complexity to the story and making it continuous.

Obviously, the production design is realistic and recognizable as a portrayal of high school life, but at the same time, concerning the genre, seeking for the right notes of realism and comedy. Facilities and backgrounds are realistic or as familiar as possible but look appealing, Classrooms, houses and outdoors Place Characters and environment details are realistically made on screen with needed special effects used sparingly while the emphasis is placed on characters and the story. The few there are, these aids help create comedic situations that are well incorporated into the story, and do not hinder it at all.

The editing is precise and properly done to give the viewers a smooth tempo that they can follow. It also manages to maintain the correct tone of comedy without allowing the drama to overshadow it or vice versa.

The movie maintains a good energy level and there is humor proceeding drama and vice versa. It guarantees a constant dramatic arc, the opportunity to use jokes and focused on characters’ transformations whenever it is possible.

The dialog is bright, modern, winking at audience and at the same time – based on the actual social problems. It reflects the overview of the specific interpersonal relationships within a high school while at the same time making people laugh and think.

Despite that, the shower series is very close to the stereotype that has been associated with High School Shows. Instead, some characters could have been given more developed character arcs that would add more interesting side stories to the already engaging plot and storyline.

In sum, English Teacher is an entertaining series that effectively combines humor with deep messages. And it is basically centered on the issue among LGBT people with a spice of high school experiences which many people can relate with through laughter and understanding. Such series are not only interesting but also, finally, to a greater extent reflecting realistic common battle and triumph.
