‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021– )

I recently finished watching ‘Abbott Elementary,’ and it’s fantastic. It’s done in a mockumentary style, like ‘The Office,’ and follows a group of truly dedicated teachers at a public elementary school in Philadelphia. What really struck me was how realistically it portrays the struggles teachers face – the lack of funding, the bureaucratic hurdles – but it does so with a lot of heart and genuinely funny writing. It’s not just a comedy, though; it offers a smart and insightful look at the American education system. Quinta Brunson created and stars in the show, and she’s absolutely brilliant. It’s quickly become one of my favorite comedies and a must-watch for anyone who appreciates smart, heartwarming television.

The show follows Nolan’s experiences as he deals with the challenges and moral questions of being a police officer, working alongside much younger partners. It combines exciting action with stories focused on the characters and the personal sacrifices they make while serving the public. The series has stayed popular by showing how its main characters grow and develop in their careers.
