1"Pilot" Mike Cahill Jason Katims March 13, 2018 (2018-03-13)5.50 [17]
Stanton High School's English teacher Mr. Lou Mazzuchelli always tries to inspire his students, but also wants to inspire them to the art of theater. The principal lets him be the new director of Stanton's drama club, despite previously offering the role to long time assistant director Tracey Wolfe. Although displeased, Tracey stays as assistant director, persuaded by Lou's determination to change the drama club. Spring Awakening is chosen as the new play; Lilette is cast as Wendla, Gwen as Ilse, and Simon as Hänschen. Lou lets Robbie Thorne, Stanton's football star, retake a test if he auditions for the play; Coach Strickland opposes but concedes. Robbie is cast as Melchior (the lead male role). Lou urges Robbie to fully commit to the play; Robbie does so after his mother persuades him to do what he wants. Later, at a meeting, the principal forces Lou to resign as club director due to the content of his play, reinstates Tracey, and assigns a new play. But the drama club—and Tracey—support Lou, protesting outside by burning theater costumes; Robbie threatens to quit football unless Lou and his play stay; the principal and Coach Strickland concede, as the bonfire continues.

The Mazzuchellis want to send Gordy to rehab, but Coach Strickland offers to work with Gordy. Simon ("Hänschen") does not kiss Jeremy ("Ernst") per the script at practice. Jeremy arranges to study with Simon on Saturday night, but Simon goes on a date with Annabelle instead. Lilette admits her mother's affair with Coach Strickland to his daughter Gwen. Gwen ("Ilse", instead of her usual lead role) uses her pain to practice "The Song of Purple Summer", as Lou wants. Michael asks to change in the boy's dressing room.

Reception

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 59% based on 41 reviews, with an average rating of 6.22/10. [29] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 59 out of 100 based on 27 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [30] Out magazine expressed concern about straightwashing, saying that the changing of the original book's real-life source, about a gay man, into a straight man, was "cultural theft and [gay] erasure" of what "should have been the story of a complicated LGBTQ hero". [31]

In 2020, Rosie Perez gave her thoughts about the show's cancellation: "I think that it didn't have enough time, but I also think, to be fair, it was a little too over sentimental. I think that's what hurt the show. Everyone kept comparing it to Glee , and that hurt the show, as well." [32]
