Abbott Elementary

[wanye]

new hit show in the US is now on disney+

think people will love it! created by and starring Quinta Brunson.



In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

“Abbott Elementary” stars Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti and Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.

Season 2 is airing in the US at the moment, I think s2 might be on Disney+ too, but if not the first season definitely is!

It's lovely. Funny and heartwarming. You'll love it!

I absolutely love Abbots elementary- it is so funny! Star, I used to love because of Quincy Brown I’m embarrassed to say at my age but a lot of what Channel 4 has picked up I’ve seen years ago but always a good watch I don’t really comment much on this forum or I would have commented on this thread before I don’t suppose you know where I can watch the latest series of snowfall do you For me it’s almost up there with the wire!

Thanks Wayne 😊 Snowfall is brilliantly done. Maybe I should say it’s a close to the wire for me as anything recently created 😂but the storyline is brilliant 🤩
