A group of dedicated, passionate teachers -- and a slightly tone-deaf principal -- find themselves thrown 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 public servants 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.

Like any show, “Abbott” occasionally has missteps, but it’s maintained a strong sense of who its characters are and the core of the story it’s telling about them.

The fact that Abbott Elementary is willing to wade into this class politics discussion with a hopeful smile on its face and loses none of its glee is an accomplishment.

It’s rare for a comedy to continue delivering one hit season after another, yet Abbott Elementary Season 4 proves that the workplace mockumentary is a gem worth having on our screens for a long, long time.

Abbott Elementary is a rare gift of a show that has only improved as the series goes on—giving us plenty of opportunities to tear up over its sweetness and cackle at the absurdity of the lovable cast of characters and their daily adventures at school.

Abbott Elementary leans into its feel-good credentials without ignoring difficult material.

It would seem that, along with not getting much in the way of rest, Brunson has also maintained a firm handle on the show’s quality at a time when it would be easy to let the crew take their collective foot off the gas.

Still fun, but doesn’t capture the magic the first 3 seasons do

I preferred the rich powerful school with bribes to the poor rundown begging for their jobs school how pathetic l. Ruined such a great storyline with the firing and the jokes quickly vanished without Ava.

This is one of my favorite shows to watch ever since season 1. Sure sometimes things get a bit slow but that's life isn't it? I need a good chuckle every now and then. I'm glad there's a 5th season!

I used to love this show. But the new season feels so forced. The older teachers now come to school every day looking like they had a full makeover at Sephora. I realized I had watched four episodes and barely smiled, let alone had a laugh. Honestly, the only bright spot is the new counselor ("she is SO tall", we get it) who seems to see what a bunch of weirdos the teachers are.

Really great TV comedy! Every episode, one way or another, puts a smile on my face!
