Abbott Elementary is an amazing sitcom on ABC that follows a group of teachers at an underfunded Philadelphia public school who have to make do with limited and broken resources to do their jobs. Also making matters difficult is their tone-deaf and self-absorbed principal, who brings lots of humor to the show.
The series reminded me of British sitcom Bad Education, which was also set in a school and revolved around the dysfunctional interactions among teachers and students.
