Fun, although a tad far-fetched and a bit dark. That’s what keeps it from being dumb -or actually it’s hilarious in some places.  The setting is an upscale private high school named Belmont somewhere in New England.  It’s not a boarding school, the kids are all from town where the residents are all pretty wealthy.  Stamford Connecticut maybe.   

Anyway,  Teddy is a tough teacher of English at this school where most of the kids are under a lot of pressure to get into prestigious colleges.  Teddy’s wife is no longer in the picture. Teddy has a lot of anger and resentments against these rich kids. I believe there’s anther we

But there’s trouble at the school after a teacher is dies by poison. Then it happens again. And similarly, yet again. The police are called, then the FBI. It gets tangled.  

The only thing was it seemed to drag toward the end.
