Strong start, weak finish!
A very good start to this series...well acted I thought, strong storyline, some interesting characters. It was well on its way to being a 9/10 for me.
Then episode 3 and 4 sort of meandered to an anti climactic end...a bit like a marathon runner who starts well but is gasping for breath at the end.
But on the positive side...I enjoyed Sheridan Smith. Yes she appears on practically everything these days but I take each performance on it's individual merit. She was obviously playing the part of a flirtatious and obviously sexy teacher, probably to influence us viewers into thinking she was a likely sexual predator. I won't spoil it by revealing whether she was or not, but Sheridan played the part well. I thought they could have explored her relationship with the Kelvin Fletcher character a bit more and u was also underwhelmed by a couple of the other teachers...her enemy and her friend.
But taking everything into consideration, it was a solid 6/10 for me. It would have been better if the last two episodes matched the first two.
