Despite runs in hits such as Will & Grace and Jane the Virgin, it was the creative freedom of Tik Tok that saw Alverez's popularity soar. And now the bigwigs at FX have let the comedian loose with his own show: English Teacher. The eight-part series sees the viral star play Evan Marquez, a high school teacher at Morrison-Hensley High in Austin, Texas battling his principles in a world where education seems to be the last thing on the schooling agenda.
Alvarez has also brought long-time collaborator Stephanie Koenig on board as Evan’s best friend, and fellow teacher, Gwen, while Sean Patton plays Markie, who may seem the textbook abrasive PE teacher but possesses a keen eye for human nature. Enrico Colantoni, meanwhile, plays Principal Moretti, who respects Evan’s passion, but has a school board to answer to and Jordan Firstman portrays Malcolm, Evan’s boyfriend. A free-spirit former teacher, Malcolm may, or may not be, what Evan needs right now, especially when charming new teacher Harry (Langston Kerman) arrives on the scene…
Alvarez's debut show looks to be just as absurdly funny as his viral comedy, but may just be deeper than those sketches would have you believe, examining the failings of the educational system, whether young people are getting the schooling they need and whether teachers can ever show their full selves. So keep reading our guide on how to watch English Teacher online and from anywhere.
