The Teacher

Not the worse thing I have ever seen. Bizarrely set in Bradford but filmed in Hungary. Acting is mediocre and I struggled to sympathise with Sheridan who has either a drink or a cigarette in her hand in nearly every scene and portrays the stereo typical party girl - given her antics, it should not have come as shock when she found herself in trouble. I work in a private school and this school was more like a low rent state school. The whole thing felt rushed and why Hungary...must have been cheap!!

I enjoyed this series a lot and found it thrilling, was eager to see next episode throughout. Good actors, for me most of them new (Im not living in UK). The last episode went from an exciting upper to a complete downer cause we didnt get to see how things went with any of the characters, and in the end the scene between the teacher and her student left us with many questions. Its like the episode went from #4 to #10 and skipped all info in between. I hate endings like that coming too fast and think they could have made the storyline more complete with at least five more episodes.

This was a good yarn that could have been a bit better directed but it was enjoyable and kept you wondering. Sheridan Smith's portrayal of a flawed but brilliant and committed teacher was exemplary. Some of the other characters were a bit on the weak side, but overall it was well worth the watch.

The first 2 episodes nailed it with the terror and consequences of accusation.

Everything that could've happened in a situation like this happened.

Realistically portrayed terror directed at the accused.

A rarity for a show to use every last drop of potential.

Brilliant acting all round especially from lead actress Sheridan Smith. Very likeable character, so selfless. How the producers of the show showed how seriously she took her role as teacher with regards her pupils.

The first 2 episodes would have me scoring this 10 stars but after the fallout of the accusation the show became just watchable with the investigation leading to one of those 'make it up as you go along' poor endings.

Well worth watching for what the teacher went through being accused.

What a ridiculous story line. So unbelievable and far fetched. 'A teacher' on BBC does this story line so much better and is way more compelling. Really disappointed.
