Review of The Teacher

The Teacher (2022–2024)
6/10
Mediocre
10 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Had such potential. Started well. Had me guessing if she had abused the kid or not. But then as the plot developed it also showed some major plot holes/unexplained things. For a start why did this bloke pick that kid. And why did the kid agree to it. Was the bloke sexually abusing him too. Not really sure what went on here. Except the kid agreed to lie and ruin his favourite teachers career for no apparent reason.

At the end the bloke makes mention of her mother... is he insinuating he was involved in her suicide. Or that her dad was an abuser. Totally lost me at this point.

Also annoyed it didn't show her getting her name cleared. Or an apology of some sort. Just showed her reaching out to the kid and them having a moment. Which was weird. And that's it.

It's also unbelievable how someone on probation. Ona. Sex offenders register could manage to be around kids in so many different ways without getting remanded. She parks outside the school several times. Goes to her old school and walks around the corridors. Seems to follow the kid around many times. Also not many adults seem bothered by the fact she is a convicted offender. As someone else said. If this was a male teacher he would have been treated very differently.

All in all a great premise. Some good bits here and there. But was sadly left underwhelmed and a bit annoyed tbh.
