I just can’t believe how BAD it is

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

They did I think when it was first shown, either last year or the year before.

Oh the pouting. Infuriating.

She reminds me of Letitia Dean, though LD knows her limitations and though she’s good at what she does, nobody suggests she’s especially talented.

I really liked it and thought SS was great in it. 😳

I think this must be SS 😂

What was that one she did last year? With the son abroad charge with sexual assault or something. That was shite too.

overthinking23 · 03/03/2023 20:04

I thought I was the only person who thought SS is shit 😂😂 I'm glad I found this post! I watched the teacher but found it so cringey the whole way through (the storyline and the bad acting)

BlastedPimples · 03/03/2023 20:07

How come she's so successful this SS?

I've never been impressed by her.

I had completely forgotten that series! I watched both of these series from beginning to end. Thought that they were both awful, but couldn't stop watching 😂

Awumminnscotland · 03/03/2023 20:13

I also really liked it. Watched it a few months ago. I do like her in most things she does. I think she's a good actor.

MadMadMadamMim · 03/03/2023 20:19

I don't ever watch any 'drama' about teachers or schools.

They are all such utter, ridiculous shit - written by someone that hasn't been in a school since they left as a teenager and who knows fuck all about what really goes on.

Having just googled the plot of this one, it sounds like it was written by a Y11 boy who likes to imagine a teacher might secretly fancy him.

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

And tried to pass it off as Bradford! The ending was just terrible 🤦🏻‍♀️

fussyfig · 03/03/2023 20:23

She wore very short skirts for a teacher if I remember rightly

itsthefinalcountdown1 · 03/03/2023 20:48

It wasn't even just cringe worthy, it didn't make sense! She "forgot" that she reported that other teacher and everything until that girl tells her? It was so stupid. Unless she had early onset alzheimers and I missed that being mentioned?

whatbehaviour · 03/03/2023 20:55

Yes really bad. Still watched it all Confused

Chikapu · 03/03/2023 21:01

I only managed half of the first episode, the gurning put me right off.

Rebelmcstreettuff · 03/03/2023 21:11

Complete shite!
The last scene was so cringe making.

OneFrenchEgg · 03/03/2023 21:20

Pauline and the curtain? Don't remember that.
It was awful. Running around interviewing people and gathering evidence.

MeinKraft · 03/03/2023 21:23

No. I've already reached my yearly quota of SS I can stand.

GordonShakespearedoesChristmas · 03/03/2023 21:31

You do all realise that a) SS did not write it? She's just in it and b) she has serious anxiety and MH issues- definitely not how you have all described her.

No need to be this nasty.

TellSomeoneElse · 03/03/2023 21:33

Such a load of shite. Her acting, the storyline, the characters… it was just crap!

otherusername · 03/03/2023 21:40

There is a (quite funny) thread about it somewhere in the telly addicts section of MN.

LetThemEatTurnips · 03/03/2023 21:43

It was rubbish, but I also found it strangely compulsive. I watched right to the end!

Soproudoflionesses · 03/03/2023 21:57

I think SS has suffered with low self esteem and MH issues due to social media comments about her....could never understand why, but after reading this, l get it.
People can be so nasty.
I saw her perform in the West end and she was fabulous.
