'English Teacher' Is Everything TV & The World Needs- With A Killer Soundtrack

Anyone familiar with the work of Brian Jordan Alvarez already knows that he is a comedic genius. Just take a glance at his Instagram account and the characters he portrays are mindblowing. All of that wit, humor, and heart is now pouring into FX's brilliant new dramedy, English Teacher. There, Alvarez portrays gay high school English teacher Evan Marquez, determined to make a difference in the world. In the world, that means the heart of his students who can rib him but they love him all the same. By his side are fellow teacher and best friend, Gwen Sanders (Stephanie Koenig) and gym teacher, Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton).

The trials and tribulations accompanied by the real-life politics of high school are challenged by Evan Marquez in a heartfelt but powerful way. One example is the book banning of The Great Gatsby. Yet, it has been taught by teachers for decades. Or, the ideology that Powderpuff, where the girls play football and the boys cheerlead for one game in senior year, has become inappropriate. It is only proper if the boys are doing drag justice which Mr. Marquez ensures that it is.

English Teacher touches on topics America is fighting for but may not actually want to deal with. It's 2024 but books are being banned, teachers are gay, everything is being challenged at schools, and the world is a mess. However, Brian Jordan Alvarez and his quick-witted ensemble bring it all together in a way that even the most confused conservative would have to laugh. Rounding out the cast are Enrico Colantoni as Principal Grant Moretti and Carmen Christopher as Rick.

Finally, a phenomenal soundtrack makes English Teacher 2024's best new show that should not be missed. It airs Monday nights on FX and can be streamed next day on Hulu.

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories. But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and

'The Real L Word' Cast- Where Are They Now?

Actors can keep acting but reality stars can drift off into the clouds after their 15 minutes of fame are over. TRLW lasted three seasons with a revolving door of lesbians who soon became like friends and family. Initially based in California, the show followed the lives of a handful of gay women, somehow intertwined in life, and what it was like to date, fall in love, have sex, try to make babies, propose, be successful, and so much more. By the final season, the series went bi-coastal, utilizing NYC as a playground, as well. The show ended in 2012 with two weddings and a lot of tears. So, where are they now?
