Streaming Wars \u2013 Alex, Bill, & Josh pick a streamer they think \u201cwon the month\u201d based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. All three gave the nod to Hulu this month thanks to their successful run at this year\u2019s Emmy Awards and their exciting fall tv line up, including English Teacher, Only Murders in the Building, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Rights.

New Series Spotlight \u2013 This month, they are reviewing English Teacher. The series was created by Bryan Jordan Alvarez, who you may know from his popular YouTube videos or his supporting turn on the Will & Grace reboot a few years back. Here, he plays Evan Marquez, a queer, neurotic, and ever-aggrieved English teacher at a high school outside Austin, Texas. The series also stars Stephanie Koenig, Enrico Colantoni, Sean Patton, and Carmen Christopher. Five of the eight episodes of season one have already aired on FX. You can also stream the series on Hulu or, if you have the Disney bundle you can also watch it directly on Disney Plus.
