Watch Those Who Can't

Those Who Can't is a sitcom from Amazon Studios that premiered in 2013. The show stars Nikki Glaser, Rory Scovel, and Kyle Kinane as three teachers working at a high school in Denver, Colorado. The series centers on their daily struggles as educators, as well as their personal lives and interactions with their students.

The three teachers are members of the school's faculty, but they are far from role models. Glaser plays Abbey Logan, a history teacher who is constantly on the lookout for Mr. Right, but her search for love often interferes with her job. Scovel plays Andy Fairbell, a gym teacher who is not only physically unfit but also socially awkward. Kinane plays Billy Shoemaker, a fixated biology teacher who would rather be anywhere else than in the classroom.

The first episode sets the tone for the series as we see the trio dealing with a problematic student, playing pranks on one another, and getting in over their heads trying to solve problems at the school. Viewers quickly learn that the school's principal, played by Andrew Orvedahl, is as inept as his staff and is more concerned about saving his own job, than fixing any of the school's issues.

Throughout the series, the group struggles to reach their students in a meaningful way, despite their unconventional teaching methods, and with the sole goal of avoiding being fired. The faculty room is always full of wisecracks and even some lessons sneak in when they aren't trying to have too much fun.

At times, the humor can be raunchy and the jokes can be hit or miss, but the show finds its stride when it leans into absurdity. From a coked-up history lesson to teaching the boys' wrestling team about consent, this group of teachers will do whatever it takes to get through a day of school.

One particular standout in the supporting cast is Maria Thayer, who plays Tammy, the school's librarian, and the object of Abbey's affection. Her dry wit and interactions with the main characters provide a refreshing balance and often lead to hilarious misadventures.

Those Who Can't is not a show that will change the way you think about education or even sitcoms, in general, but it is an enjoyable enough series for those looking for a lighthearted comedy. It's easy to see why it gained a cult following in its time, and the characters have a likability that makes it easy to root for their success.

Overall, Those Who Can't should appeal to anyone who has ever felt that their teachers weren't quite right in the head, and to those who love slapstick humor, strong personalities, and quirky characters.

Those Who Can't is a series that ran for 3 seasons (35 episodes) between February 11, 2016 and on Amazon Studios
