Episodes
Season 1
The Peripatetic
After his ex-wife moves to Rome, Merlí finds himself solo-parenting and working as a substitute philosophy teacher at his son Bruno’s school, where his unorthodox style intrigues the students, butts heads with faculty, and embarrasses his son.
Plato
Merlí encourages his class to participate in the literary contest by cheating, uses Plato to help Ivan, a student with agoraphobia, and takes an interest in the mother of another. Meanwhile, Bruno reveals a personal secret to his friend Tania.
Machiavelli
After Merlí gives Gerard girl advice, his interest in Gerard’s mother, Gina, grows when he sees that she’s a fellow straight-talker. He also has a breakthrough with Ivan and steals a test copy that ends up in Bruno’s hands.
Aristotle
After Bruno invites Pol over to study, he lets his feelings slip and complicates their friendship. When they get perfect test scores, they’re accused of cheating and Merlí is also suspected in the scheme. Will it cost him his job?
Socrates
In the spirit of Socrates, Merlí tells his students they must question the values imposed on them by their parents, which angers Joan’s strict father. He takes Ivan outside his comfort zone to disastrous consequences and gets closer to Gina.
Schopenhauer
Berta’s home life is revealed, which explains her need for sympathy and attention. Merlí and Gina have a bad fight after she finds out about his relationship with Laia. Merlí keeps pushing Ivan to step out and suggests a visit from Bruno.
