This show was honestly just great potential (potential that really stood out in that final scene in the 10th episode), very poorly executed. + See the review by @cutecruel on the final episode which pretty much says everything else I'd want to say.

The biggest thing I struggle with for this show is its intention. That is, what am I as a viewer supposed to be getting from this? Am I supposed to be rooting for the teacher, like a twisted Netflix's You type of deal? Am I supposed to understand that there are two sides to every story? It's just...weird man. They present both sides fairly equally, weighing more heavily on the teacher's perspective in the first half, and it's just painfully uncomfortable. She's so unapologetically intentional in her attraction to her student, and it's horrifying. I haven't seen the movie, but this show is just wack. The fact that they try and show the teacher as a vulnerable character to sympathize with and then have the audacity to put a "If you are in need of help, visit blah blah" at the intro/outro of each episode is just so blindly ignorant...

The show starts off well, the first few episodes flow smoothly and quickly that it made me wish they were longer. However, halfway through, they start to drag. This should have been a 3-4 episodes mini-series, it would have been much more interesting to follow. The message it delivers is very important but you have to endure before reaching that “satisfying” ending.

"He pursued me" says the grown-ass woman who had a sex dream about HER 17-YEAR-OLD STUDENT after the FIRST TIME they met. Disgusting. I agree with a commenter who said their biggest problem with this show was intention. This woman absolutely abused her position and pursued an underage boy because she was bored and unfulfilled with her life. But the show still wants you to feel bad about her. It's all about her, not the victim. I mean... The fact that they didn't show much of his mental struggle of unraveling that it wasn't "his idea", it wasn't "consensual" or "love", and he wasn't the one at fault, but they did show her experience and even gave her a happy fucking ending??? Like, what is this? I don't believe for a second she was sorry about anything, she was just sorry that she ruined her own life. Again, the focus wasn't on her victim. There was an opportunity here to explore the underrepresented experience of men being taken advantage of by women. More specifically, young men falling victim to predatory older women and the trauma that brings. And they decided to do this instead??? I just don't get it.
