I just can’t believe how BAD it is

If it’s an ITV ‘drama’ with SS in……then bad is the standard as a rule …..🤣 is it so bad it’s unwatchable or so bad you can laugh at it ? (like the dolce and
gabbanna K & Q ad?)

Agreed, it's awful. But then again I think Sheridan Smith is awful in everything.

WalterWitty · 02/03/2023 21:39

I have finally found my people!!! SS is a jumped up little prick, I don’t know why she bothers me so much but she does.

Id rather watch Jane Macdonald scare the elderly with a rendition of Stormzy in the Mediterranean on C5 all day any day…

TheEarlofButties · 02/03/2023 21:41

I’m kind of offended by it, if this was a male teacher it wouldn’t have aired. The way it’s all framed like a mystery against this character I think we’re all supposed to like when she kind of deserves what she gets.

It was shocking but I still watched it like the idiot that I am.

Hebridean · 02/03/2023 21:45

She irritates me. I get the impression she thinks she's the greatest actor ever. She's really not.

Witchytwitchybitchy · 02/03/2023 21:46

Ex teacher here. I found it creepy as fuck and stopped watching.

@WalterWitty

I've just laughed out loud at my phone at the jane McDonald Stomzy post my other half is now howling too 🤪

Skinnermarink · 02/03/2023 21:49

Fun fact it was all filmed in Budapest as it was much cheaper!

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 02/03/2023 21:51

I now would actually like to see Jane MacDonald warbling Stormzy...thanks @WalterWitty Grin

Ginger1982 · 02/03/2023 21:55

Wait until 'the curtain!' 😂

GoKartMozart · 02/03/2023 22:13

The ending. Oh god the ending.
Biggest load of shite I’ve watched in a long time that.

TheEarlofButties · 02/03/2023 22:22

Why aren’t the papers ripping it to pieces, it’s beyond ridiculous! I’m on the last one now

Is there a source for this?

Good luck

May i suggest you move anything within arms reach that you can throw at the screen in preparation for the ending?

Madamecastafiore · 02/03/2023 22:36

Can't watch anything with her in. Just walked past the theatre where she was standing outside being applauded for her role in Shirley Valentine, have a visceral reaction to her and had to cross the road, no idea why, I also feel this way about Loulou though.

Cornelious2011 · 02/03/2023 22:53

It's not brand new. I watched it last year, I dislike Ss as an actress also.

wonderofu · 02/03/2023 22:59

Almost as bad as the Cleaning up she was in.

TheEarlofButties · 02/03/2023 23:01

I’m off to Budapest to jump off the quarry.

It was the spontaneous memory loss her character had that really got me 😂😂

Briallen · 02/03/2023 23:03

Is this the one with Pauline and the curtain? (I think it was Pauline 😂😂😂) it was so terrible but luckily I was on the thread on here for it which made up for how crap it was with some of the comments 🤣

PicklesAndTequila · 02/03/2023 23:10

Oh god that was utterly shit, I watched it last year.

I found the mix of shots of UK towns and interiors that look nothing like British buildings really distracting. SS’ dad lived in a gorgeous house, but it clearly wasn’t anywhere in the UK!

Similar thing with the Harlan Coben adaptations on Netflix. Filmed in the northwest, but not really meant to be the NW iirc. Also all the young characters in those dressed like no young person actually does. Gave the whole thing a weird unreal feeling.

3catsandcounting · 02/03/2023 23:23

I watched The Teacher a few months ago. Luckily I have erased most of it from my mind, except for the endless bloody sighing from SS. She's sighed more than she spoke. Once you've heard it.... 😖
