First off, I want to say that the people leaving one star reviews complaining about how this is glorifying statutory rape have missed the point. Shows like PLL and Riverdale- where they portray the teachers as great romantic interests who are genuinely good people- those are glorifying these relationships. This show does not paint the teacher in a positive light. It's very clear that this relationship is problematic; just because they don't villainize the teacher doesn't mean they're condoning her actions. No awful person is 100% evil, and that goes for this character as well. If you think the show is actually condoning the student teacher narrative, something is wrong with your perception.

Now, regarding the show itself- it starts off pretty great. The first three episodes are captivating and keep you wondering what's going to develop next. However, it steadily declines from there. I'd say that after episode 3 or 4, they sort of run out of material. The episodes drag on and there's only about 8 minutes worth of interesting content in the 20 minute time frame. Episode 7, which focuses solely on Eric, is dreadfully boring in particular because half the excitement is seeing the dynamic between Eric and the teacher. So should you watch it? I would say that if the subject matter doesn't bother you, give it a watch. The episodes are less than 30 minutes so it's not too much of an investment. The show isn't really groundbreaking in any way, it plays way too much into high school stereotypes, and it can be a bit repetitive (we don't need that many scenes of high school parties, they all look the same). BUT- the acting is great, the storyline is intriguing, and the characters are fleshed out which keeps you invested in them.

As a teacher, I am in no way condoning the relationship in this show. What I do want to comment on is everyone's criticism of how poorly developed Claire's character was. As a woman that has struggled with fertility and had several miscarriages, I can relate to the inner turmoil Claire is experiencing. Her mental state is clearing affected by the stress infertility can have on a woman. It can completely change your personality. Perhaps the series could have delved more into that, but having experienced it myself, I could see how damaged and lost her character was and how she was doing things that she may not have done otherwise. She felt alone, like less of a woman, and abandoned by her husband for his musical "career". It's unfortunate that she turned to the arms of a student in order to feel something, but when I watched her navigate her situation, I could relate to the depression and irrational decision making. I feel like the writer did a good job portraying a woman with immense internal sorrow and struggle, But perhaps failed to portray her in a way that others who haven't been through this experience could relate to.

Lots of pearl clutching on this one. Lot's of moral panic and moralizing. But the topic is part of the human experience like everything else in popular entertainment. We watch murders and robberies on screen all the time and don't assume the makers are saying these things are okay or should be accepted in real life, This show should be given the same leeway.

This show follows a teacher and her student and their relationship, which starts getting inappropriate pretty quickly. It's well done, the acting is superb both actors showing the internal struggle they are having.

Worth watching, but not ground breaking in my opinion. The actors do deserve tremendous credit however. And the show deserves credit for not portraying these people as monsters, life is more subtle and complicated than that, and so far the show reflects that. (up to Ep 3)

I am not one to binge-watch a series which has become a popular activity these days. I prefer to consume a show in the weekly format. But I make an exception for this one, as I found myself inadvertently hitting "play next" through episode 4, which is the latest episode when I discovered this provocative show. The content offers so many layers, mostly questionable, just like pork rinds. You know the stuff is bad but the packaging makes it so engaging to consume so you keep at it anyway. Kudos to the lead actors and production crew for packaging up this content in a way that's weirdly entertaining, disturbing, and thought-provoking. For starters, this show would not be the same if the gender roles were reversed. As much as some people would like to believe, men and women are not equal and this show reminds you of that. Now I await episode 5 next week and thank Hulu for making the rest of the episodes available on a weekly basis.

I rank this as a 7 because I think it's well-done but I can't say that loved watching it, because the subject matter is a bit uncomfortable. It's like watching a train wreck with a bunch of characters that you kind of like, kind of don't like and ultimately disapprove of... and then it goes from bad to worse. Well-done storytelling and acting. Kate Mara is very good.

Yes it's a tale old as time...but it happens more than our society wants to let on. FX does a really great job with the casting, acting & storyline. This show is gripping and entertaining for sure and it is shot beautifully. The shorter show time leaves me wanting more & I'm sure the rest of the audience is (still) conflicted despite how cliche this story is conceptually.

So many people left a review defending Claire and the whole situation. The show makes you feel like it's not right but not that bad. Unfortunately so many people that left a review got invested in the characters and their feeling rather than taking a step back and seeing the situation in the show for what it is. Keep watching and finish the season so you can get your heads out of the clouds and realize what you just watched. It ended how it does in real life, and I hope people come back to change or delete their silly reviews that they left after only watching a few episodes and thinking they are watching some sexy affair.

Everybody is just branding Clair as predatory because "she is older". But these people don't really understand what predatory behaviour is and need to read between the lines. It's more complex than that and this is why I like this show.

Not bad so far. It's uncomfortable because it's a sad reality.

I thought it was real. As real as it can get. Good solid acting. Liked the way it ended. Definitely worth watching.

Amazing performance by nick Robinson and also Kate Mara Worth watching!

Well once you realise it's not risky or salacious and is something lame like The CW or Alibi would show, you quickly thank the episodes are so short. Mara is a great actor and Robinson never does anything wrong per se, also the rest of the cast chip in accordingly with what is needed. However that's all very well for acting, it's the age problem, none of them look TEENAGE, (Robinson is 24 and looks it) they don't come across as being preyed upon in fact quite the opposite. Subsequently the so called emotion the viewer is meant to feel is thusly ineffective. I don't see why TV production companies keep on doing this, yes they want a marquee name but at what cost? Surely it would be more fruitful to have a cast actually play the age range required.

... they try to cram too much into a 30 minute episode. Episode 7 was a good example of this with all of Erik's escapades crammed into 30 minutes. The should should be 60 minutes.

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.
