When Harvard philosophy professor Jack Griffin fails to get his dream job and reluctantly moves back to Ohio to work as a high school Advanced Placement Biology teacher, he makes one thing very clear: he will not be teaching one bit of biology. Instead, realizing he has a room full of honor roll students at his disposal, Jack recruits the kids to help him mentally break his job-stealing nemesis and win back the position that's rightfully his. From Saturday Night Live alums Seth Meyers and Mike O'Brien.

Critics Consensus

A.P. Bio has some genuine laughs, but audiences have already seen plenty of authority figures behaving badly -- and have a right to expect more from this promising premise and talented cast.

A.P. Bio follows the dumb logic of network sitcoms, to middling results...In its first few episodes, A.P. Bio struggles to balance the salty and the sweet.

"A.P. Bio" is just staggeringly unfunny, a clunky mess of a sitcom that has no idea how to innovate beyond its setup - nor any sense of what about its material is actually comedic.

B+

The series also emerges with a remarkably self-assured vision. Like Jack and the honors students he consistently and thoroughly refuses to teach, A.P. Bio is set apart by confidence.

In the shadow of Miles, Jack's rage becomes our rage, and it's a fire that burns bright in 2018, which is why A. P. Bio is such a hilarious indulgence in blunt honesty and pettiness.

3/5

AP Bio is a show that has shades of Always Sunny and Community in its early episodes, establishing a setting and characters that might come around to pay off comedy dividends in the near future.

Howerton's apathetic nature towards the world around him shows shades of Denis, but it stands on its own.

We tried so hard to watch this show and kept watching to see if the main character the teacher would get more likeable BUT no. Painful to watch and completely unlikeable protagonist and the teens are unidimensional characters with no conplexity. Bad can’t believe there is a second season

reviews that say this season is too generic and mediocre seem to have clicked on the wrong season. these same critics rated the flagrantly worse, lower effort, phoned in second season 100% and 66% to the first season for just having the "alway sunny" humor that audiences clearly came here to see? the cast has potential, there are some very likeable characters, but save yourself some time and just stop watching at the end of season 1. after this season it has almost no philadelphian juice whatsoever and just turns into a "zany" snoozefest.
