Review of A Teacher

A Teacher (2020)
6/10
Interesting topic, but execution lacks depth
17 November 2020
The topic is interesting and the actors are great. The episodes seem way too short, to portray the relationship between the characters. The whole execution seems like a theoretical approach. As an audience, we see the characters together only for brief moments, which makes it hard to imagine, what these characters actually feel for each other. We don't know if the student just has a physical attraction to the teacher, or if they connected on an emotional level. It is also hard to tell, what the teacher feels for the student. Is he just a sex toy to her, or does she have a crush on him too. Since, we don't know her motivation, it is hard to either feel sympathy for her or to see her as the villain. If the director wanted for the audience to figure that out for themselves, the director should have given the character more screen time and explore her character more. The way the series portrays the subject to this point ( I'm on episode 4), does not give me any more substance, than the newspaper headlines of cases like this.
