Learning from A to Gen Z.
Created by Brian Jordan Alvarez
On FX
A warm, energetic comedy about a gay high school teacher navigating generational and cultural friction in contemporary Austin, built on character connection and irreverent humor rather than plot tension.
A high school teacher in Austin tries to balance the competing demands of the students and their parents in a world where the rules seem to change every day.
