Review of A Teacher

A Teacher (2020)
7/10
Good show but silly from a European POV

Warning: Spoilers
I'm enjoying the series but watching this from Europe really focuses on the ridiculous puritanical nature of US society. In most of Europe the age of consent varies from 14-16 (Ireland is an outlier at 17), and so called statutory rape is something most people in Europe have never even heard of, it's just not an issue. Yes she would probably have lost her job because he was a student, but that would have been it, the police would never have been involved in this mess. The US needs to get it's priorities in order, prosecuting people for having consensual sex is just mad when you don't even have healthcare, really? Stories like this really bring up the differences in what are seemingly very similar societies.
