Conquerors of Their Freshman Season

Let’s jump back into things shall we! Here are two shows that are making or have made their mark during their first seasons.


English Teacher


Released on FX and streaming next day on Hulu, this show created and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez is everything a show about a high school faculty should be and more. Alvarez plays the titular high school English teacher who has to deal with idiotic parents, students who ‘struggle’ with day to day life, a principal who tries to keep the peace, and co-workers who seemingly don’t teach (who knows). Set in Texas, the show follows Alvarez as he deals with the political climate of teaching high school all while dealing with his own personal life. The show is hilarious and while it isn’t clear if they will be getting a season two, season one has a lot to say and is definitely a standout this year.

High Potential


Based on a French series called HPI, High Potential stars the hilariously amazing Kaitlin Olson who you may know from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In High Potential, Olson assists the police in solving cases because of her being a high potential intellectual with an IQ of 160. Olson’s character Morgan has had a hard time keeping a job because little things distract her, but when she stumbled onto a case during her cleaning shift at the police precinct she helped the police uncover that a suspected criminal was actually a victim. She has her own reasons for choosing to help the police. Other than it being a better way to earn income for herself and her three children (she is a single mother), she also wants to find out what happened to the father of her first child (Ava whose father’s name is Roman) who went out for diapers one night and never came back. As the season progresses, audiences get to see how Morgan can use her special abilities to solve crimes and save the day and they slowly figure out what happened to Roman.
