Abbott Elementary review: Open House of secrets
The mockumentary sitcom that follows a group of public school teachers has gained a cult following with only a few episodes due to its accurate representation of the state-funded schooling system and great humor. With its tenth episode, the show tries to give a deeper insight into the characters.
The episode was based around an open house that the parents were supposed to visit, but the annual turnout was so low in the previous years that the teachers never took them seriously. Janine made a big deal out of it, especially for one particular student who was struggling in class.
While the entire episode was well-paced and narrated, Ava's was exceptionally well depicted. It was funny, which was one of the main aims of the show, but it was also very intriguing in terms of the storyline.
The episode picked up a good pace within the first five minutes and held on to it for the rest of the episode, making it a fascinating watch. Another great thing about this episode was the ending. Almost like a cliffhanger, the ending will make fans wait eagerly for the next episode of the show.
What can you expect from the next episode of Abbott Elementary?
With Ava's secret out, and her inability to use blackmail anymore to get what she wants, she will have to become more serious and take responsibility for her actions in school. She may also be under threat of losing her job. In that case, you may see the group of teachers come to her aid.
The show will be back with a new episode on March 29, 2022. Stay tuned for more updates.
