Review:
Season 1 Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it

• I've only watched the first five episodes. I like the premise with an unorthodox teacher, but as the season continued, I realized Merlí is selfish and petty, using philosophy as an excuse or explanation depending on the situation.
  This becomes very soap opera with tangled relationships, and while Merlí is helping students, that feels like a coincidence rather than the focus.
