A Teacher (Season 1)

A Teacher (2020) is an FX on Hulu drama series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Kate Mara and Nick Robinson in a story adapted and expanded by filmmaker Hannah Fidell from her own 2013 feature of the same name.

Claire Wilson is a young teacher at a suburban Texas high school. Eric Walker is her student — driven, charming, with college plans and a part-time job to pay for them. What starts as a tutoring arrangement slides into something neither of them names until it already has momentum. Across ten episodes, the series tracks both characters through the affair and well past it, showing how the damage compounds over years rather than resolving itself when the secret comes out.

What makes this stand apart from the usual treatment of the subject is that it refuses to flatten anyone. Claire isn't a predator from a news headline, and Eric isn't just a victim — the show makes you sit with that discomfort rather than hand you a verdict. Stream A Teacher (2020) online on iFILM.
