‘Abbott School’ convinces everyone: a mockumentary about a group of teachers from a Philadelphia public school
It is inevitable: there are so many series on so many platforms that it is impossible to see all the ones that interest us. And among those that do not interest us, due to misinformation or pure natural selection, we can find that unknown gem which you have never paid attention to and which may become your favorite series this year.
It is the case of Abbott College. If you haven’t heard of it, we don’t blame you. But you have to know that she has, attention, a almost perfect score on the page Rotten Tomatoes (99%!), and in Filmaffinity All the professional reviews we found are positive. All. And it has 21 reviews!
Abbott CollegeIn addition, he won in 2022 three Golden Globesincluding Best Comedy Series, and two Emmys for Best Supporting Actress for Sheryl Lee Ralph and Best Screenplay.
A mockumentary about an American public school
Now its third season is premiering on Disney+ (and has already been renewed for a fourth) and continues to maintain its type. For example in Collider They say about it that the series “continues to be the best of its kind”; Rogerbert.com He does not hesitate to define it as “a wonderful comedy about resistance and optimism, about what it means to not only make the best of the bad hand you have been dealt, but how to inspire others to do the same.”
Paste MagazineFurthermore, he does not hesitate to highlight the denunciation aspect of the series: “He has always been scathing, pointing out the defects of the American educational system and public schools, and Brunson’s ambitious approach to highlighting some of those problems doesn’t seem ready to die down anytime soon.” And a series that defends the public, my friends, is a good series.
If you haven’t seen the two previous seasons of Abbott College, no problem: you have them in the Disney+ catalog. Nothing that a good marathon won’t fix. In addition, you will be prepared to see this third installment that premieres right now, this Wednesday, June 12.
But, What is Abbott School about? You don’t have to be a genius to at least know that it takes place in a school. In a public one, for details. Because yes, even in the most liberal and turbo-capitalist country in the world there are public alternatives. In this context we will meet a handful of teachers full of vocation directed by a deaf director. In addition, the series is directed in mockumentary format, another incentive if you are a fan of the subgenre.
You already know: Abbott College can become the favorite series that you are not watching. Remedy it.
