Abbott Elementary (2021– )
6/10
Very very gentle comedy
17 January 2024
It's the sort of thing that you largely smile rather than laugh, with the exception of the headteacher (who is thankfully used very sparingly) who says the occasional inappropriate thing and raises a chuckle.

There is nothing original about the show. Each joke you can see coming. All the stereotypes are there on display, doing what you would expect them to. There's a love triangle (ISH). There are kooky friends. Etcetera.

Maybe it's my Britishness, but I find this kind of veeeeeeeeery gentle comedy more like a meditation because you know there'll be no surprises, rather than watching it as a comedy.

I am around that the lead actress just won an Emmy as a Lead Comedy Actress, in a category where she faced both Rachel Brosnahan and Natasha Lyonne who were infinitely better in their roles than Quinta.
