So, I’ve been on quite the streaming binge lately—A.P. Bio has officially consumed my life. I laughed so hard I cried at times, and by the beginning of the second season, it hit me: this show is basically a masterclass in pettiness, revenge scams, and the beauty of things going horribly wrong. And honestly, I am here for it.

Let’s break it down—every episode is some wild concoction of “revenge plot of the week.” Whether it’s Jack Griffin (played hilariously by Glenn Howerton) plotting against a rival or just exacting petty, misguided vengeance on random people in his life, it’s like a car crash you can’t stop watching. You know you shouldn’t want to see it unfold, but here you are, popcorn in hand, waiting for the inevitable disaster. That’s where the brilliance lies. Every scheme is destined to fail spectacularly, and somehow, the absurdity of life just gets in the way.

Take the teacher jail episode. I mean, how much more cringe-worthy can you get than having a grown man stuck in a glorified time-out with a group of teachers who’ve all somehow failed at their jobs in epic ways? There’s a level of awkwardness that’s both deliciously funny and uncomfortably real. Then there’s the party episode—so many wrong things happening on so many levels, you can’t even keep track. Watching Jack and his misfit band of high school students awkwardly navigate life, failing at both revenge and basic human interaction, it’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck with a comedy soundtrack. It’s wonderfully awful.

What gets me about A.P. Bio is the cringe factor—the moments where you laugh and then immediately feel guilty for it, like you’ve witnessed something you shouldn’t have but are too entertained to stop watching. Jack’s commitment to being the pettiest person on the planet, his total avoidance of anything resembling teaching, and the way life always throws a wrench in his revenge plots—it’s all so absurdly relatable.

At its core, A.P. Bio is a show about getting caught up in ridiculous plans that never quite pan out, which feels oddly familiar. It’s that reminder that life, in all its pettiness and strange twists, has a way of derailing even the best-laid (or worst-laid) schemes. And really, sometimes all you can do is laugh until you cry and appreciate the absurdity of it all.

So, here’s to A.P. Bio, the show that makes me laugh, cringe, and wonder how Jack hasn’t been fired yet. It’s petty, it’s ridiculous, and it’s the perfect kind of binge when you just need to escape into a world where revenge never works, but that’s okay because life is much weirder anyway.
