Merlí — Season 1
Meet Mr. Ashton, a philosophy teacher who’s shaking things up at his new high school. He's not your typical educator – his methods are unorthodox, challenging the status quo and ruffling feathers among some parents and staff. But while he might clash with authority, he also sparks something special in his students, igniting their minds and encouraging them to question everything. As Mr. Ashton navigates the complexities of teenage life and school politics, he finds unexpected connections – a budding romance, and a deeper understanding of his own son, who is grappling with his identity as a young gay man. It’s a season about finding your voice, embracing difference, and discovering that sometimes, the greatest lessons come from those who dare to be different.
