Season 2 of “Abbott Elementary” returns as confident as ever — sharp and searingly funny, but with a baseline warmth that feels meaningful in a world that’s become increasingly cold to the idea that we’re meant to look out for one another. ... It’s such a perfect amalgam of talents both in front of and behind the camera. Read full review

The first two episodes, which is what ABC sent to critics, are equally as funny and heartwarming as the best of the show’s excellent first season. Read full review

It’s hard to pick our favorite part of the return. Gritty? Ava hula-hooping at a big staff seminar? Sheryl Lee Ralph’s post-Emmy glow? It’s all great. And we get to do this again next week, and the week after, and the week after that. Read full review

While viewers may have grown accustomed to Brunson doing it all, these first episodes of Abbott Elementary’s second season, despite their slightly less dexterous humor, still make the show, as we say in the business, a pleasure to have in class. Read full review

It feels like they used the summer to balance out how the show’s writers tune their cast, allowing every supporting player just enough time to shine in both episodes. Of course, being only 15 episodes into a run makes it way too soon to discern this show’s place in comedy history, but it’s starting to feel more and more like “Abbott Elementary” will be a part of comedy class syllabi for years to come.

It might be a nice show, but it still has bite. In the second season, the jokes come rapidly and are as elaborate as a fake Dragon’s Den competition or as subtle as a well-timed eyeroll. As far as I’m concerned, it’s those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gags that bring about the biggest laughs. Read full review

This is a very wholesome show--don't expect complex storytelling or extremely sophisticated humor. Expect light-hearted fun, great characters, and a few good laughs per episode.

Expect light-hearted fun, great characters, and a few good laughs per episode. Plus a few air-blows through your nostrils as bonus. The principal Ava Coleman (played by Janelle James) is my favorite character -- absurdly hilarious. And Sheryl Lee Ralph won an Emmy for her portrayal of the seasoned, no-nonsense teacher Barbara Howard on Season 1. Season 2 is much the same so far, a nice easy show when some of the more artsy shows can leave you feeling stressed! Quinta Brunson deserves all the kudos!… Expand

The Office (US version, not the vastly superior UK original), Modern Family, and Abbott Elementary are basically the exact shame show just transposed in different settings.
