Abbott Elementary
The mockumentary is getting better and better
Abbott ElementaryIts mockumentary style has led some fans to declare it as the spiritual successor of The office. While also getting the format right, the cast of Abbott Elementary is really its biggest strength, and the quality of the set is what makes it such a natural choice for fans of The office. Each of the characters is designed differently, and there is a great mix of wacky eccentrics and more relatable and likable characters.
Abbott Elementary is a great workplace comedy about the types of characters people are forced to tolerate while doing their jobs. The sitcom’s fast-paced style suits both the comedy and the chaos of the middle school setting, but the show wisely slows things down every now and then to deliver some surprisingly emotional moments. Season 4 is underway and fans are looking forward to the Abbott Elementary and It’s always sunny in Philadelphia crossing soon.

After Abbott Elementary the first half of the crossover airs, It’s always sunny in Philadelphia will continue the story in the 17th season. TV’s longest-running live-action sitcom is more popular than ever, though the show’s style has subtly changed in recent seasons. The long trip to Ireland is something that probably wouldn’t have happened in previous seasons. The same can be said of the divisive Season 16 finale, “Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day,” which ignores the other characters.

The best episodes of It’s always sunny are unlike anything on TV, taking bad taste and dark comedy to hilarious new levels. Over the years, the gang trapped people in a burning building, destroyed a family’s home for no reason, and staged a fake baby funeral as part of a long scam. Season 17 will certainly bring many more surprises. Fans hope for more classic episodes, but what’s exciting It’s always sunny is that you still have the enthusiasm to try it after so long in the air.

That’s good news for a show that had a strong first outing, even though it still feels like it has a lot more to offer. The gentlemen is based on Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name. The show follows the same basic premise of a British drug empire that uses aristocratic families to hide its dealings, but has a completely new cast of characters.
Hopefully, Ray Winstone will also have a bigger role in season two.
The gentlemen has a fun castincluding Giancarlo Esposito in one of his slimy villain roles and Vinnie Jones as a surprisingly mild-mannered gamekeeper. The standout star is Kaya Scodelario, who brings plenty of deadpan sarcasm to her portrayal of a smooth criminal operator. The gentlemen the second season will bring back her character alongside rising drug kingpin Eddie Halstead, played by Theo James. Hopefully Ray Winstone will also have a bigger role the second time around.
