14 Best FX Shows Streaming On Hulu, Ranked
Hulu is the hub for FX series and though some shows rank higher than others, what’s certain is the quality of the network’s best shows is unfailing.
Season 1 was a strong start, but there is plenty of potential for the story to continue in season 2. The challenges Evan faces as a gay man, as a high school English teacher, and due to his eccentric colleagues need to be further explored. Even though season 1 only had eight episodes,it had the feel of a sitcom that had 22 episodes every season, with each episode being able to stand on its own, while still having a strong overarching story. This is a format that can continue to work well in season 2 and beyond.

It Deserves A Season 2
English Teacherproved to be one of2024’s best comedy showsthrough its charming and well-written humor, along with its ability to smartly tackle real-world issues.Season 1 felt as if it only scratched the surface of the series' creative potential, with many stories left to tell about Evan, Gwen, the gym teacher, Markie (Sean Patton), and Principal Moretti (Enrico Colantoni).English Teacherneeds a season 2 so it can further capitalize on being a genuinely funny and timely comedy.
