English Teacher is so good, and I have full faith in BJA! I do think it's interesting that he plays the straight man given his incredible comedic range and character work, but so far I've loved the full cast (especially the students). Maybe that makes it a little less of a millennial -only show? And while it does poke some fun at the youth of the students, it spends at least as much time doing the same for the teachers.
The main reason the Emmys were on my radar this year was because I was so excited for Jacqueline Novak's nomination for "Get on Your Knees," but sadly she didn't win.
Have you seen Hacks? Binged it this year, definitely one of my top comedy series of all time now, and glad Jean Smart won even if (especially because?) it felt like an episode of the show.
Ahh, so glad you're enjoying English Teacher, too! He's just so brilliant. And YES, the students have really been the ones who most often have me laughing out loud. So much fun.
I actually put "Get on Your Knees" on my list AFTER seeing the Emmys. I just have never gotten around to watching it and had forgotten about it. I love love loved Alex Edelman's so was glad for his win, but now I must watch Novak's. Going to see if I can download it for a flight right now!
Yes, I LOVE Hacks. Have been watching it since the first season, but got bogged down a little in the second and caught back up when S3 dropped. It's just so fantastic and clever and life-giving and depressing all at the same time.

I was really glad Baby Reindeer won so many awards. That was a great show.
