The Good City  - TV series (2022)

Description

Adam is a well-intentioned substitute teacher in a small town high school who is avoiding facing his sexual orientation head on. He channels all his energies toward trying to save his students from a pre-determined fate of delinquency and poverty. But how can a person who fails to fix himself succeed in fixing others? When David comes to rent a room in Adam's apartment and they become romantically involved, Adam comes to life and declares himself the next mayor. The teacher with good intentions is now using his students, learning to play dirty, and doing everything to take over the city and make it "a good city." The only question is: who will pay the price? And is Adam a young man who fails to deal with his inner demons and becomes a megalomaniac with a hero complex, or a well-intentioned teacher who is forced to play a dirty game to save his city?
