[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abbott Elementary is a very well written and clever show. It does follow the mocudocumentary style of the Office, but that's it.  You have to pay attention to certain references to get some of the jokes. The characters are fantastic.

My only complaint is that Tariq was written out of the show to move to New York. The episode when he comes to the school to perform for Friends Agains Drug Exposure is by far the best one of Season 1. [/quote]

Is there any context given for the documentary style? The characters are aware they are being filmed and look directly at the camera, but do we know why?[/quote]

No, and this is part of why I am tired of that style show. The Office did it well - and that's not replicable. Modern Family - who knows why they were always talking to a camera. I usually thought of it as their inner monologues. Here, it seems like they do it just to do it.

That aside, it's a really good show. [/quote]

Yes there is context. It is covered in the pilot. Did you even watch the show?[/quote]

Obviously yes but I don't recall it ever being covered, why they are being followed by a camera crew. [/quote]

Ava has agreed to allow a film crew to film them for a documentary on "underfunded, poorly managed public schools in America." And "no press is bad press". You sure you watched the pilot? This was a great scene.[/quote]
