It’s official - three seasons of damn near perfection makes Abbott Elementary a bonafide, all-time classic sitcom. Season Three clearly had a bigger budget (all them damn cameos) and bigger aspirations, but none of it dimmed the intimate and hilarious synergy that the cast has with each other, that creator Quinta Brunson has with a pen, or that the entire crew has with their dedication to highlighting the U.S. education system. Every year, each member of the excellent ensemble helps the series evolve to an even more unique cast of characters that doesn’t have one weak link. All this greatness combines to make comedic TV royalty.

I only recently discovered Abbott Elementary, and to my surprise, finished watching the first two seasons just in time for the release of the third. After the first, I knew it was something special, but Season Three has made me love the unique characters and their hilarious dynamics even more. It takes the finest parts of my favourite sitcoms and updates them to 2024 in the best way possible, with a faultless cast and exceptional writing, whilst highlighting pertinent issues with the American education system. I don’t have one bad word to say about this show, and I cannot wait for the next season!

Abbott Elementary will be considered a sitcom staple in time, I'm sure of it. Three seasons in, and it's just as funny, charming, and sincere as it's ever been. The show has consistent laughs and character growth from the lovable ensemble that just make the show so watchable. On top of that, although it wasn't my favourite aspect of the season, the idea to shift the series’ flow by making Janine (Quinta Brunson) work at the school district was a fascinating change of pace. Abbott Elementary could never end and I'd be happy.
