What's On Tonight (Monday): A man who's got his Master's is really someone

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the two-episode premiere of English Teacher, Brian Jordan Alvarez's new series for FX. I might actually have to give this one a try, as it sounds appealing and I've always had a soft spot for education-centric stories.
