Flunked

To stay out of prison, Eddy, a delinquent with a knack for mathematics, agrees to go undercover at a high school. His mission is to identify the child of a criminal. His new identity: a teacher.

Our take

Created by François Uzan (Lupin, Represent), this new Netflix series dynamites the codes of the high school comedy genre. Opposite the high-octane Alexandre Kominek, we find a gallery of teachers, parents and cops (Laurence Arné, Sabrina Ouazani, Fred Testot, Mathilde Seigner…) who are sure to give him a run for his money. While his character may have mastered higher mathematics, he will soon discover that (teens × staffroom+ college admissions) is an equation way beyond his mental maths skills.
