Viewers who tuned in to watch the episode complained after spotting Jenna walking into school in a short skirt, late from going out the night before.
Viewers complained about Jenna's work outfit
One person took to Twitter writing: "Erm, usually the teacher would be sending girls home for walking into school with a belt for a skirt," while another added: "This is stupid. What kind of teacher would be permitted to dress like this at a school?"
A third person commented: "A teacher just wouldn’t be allowed to wear such a short skirt. More importantly, a good teacher wouldn’t want to."
Many viewers, however, also took to social media to praise the compelling drama. One person tweeted: "Crikey. How amazing was that first episode? Bring on tomorrow night," while another added: "How fantastic was that first episode of #TheTeacher. Can't wait for tomorrow's episode."
Fans praised Sheridan Smith's performance
A third person praised Sheridan Smith for her performance as Jenna, writing: "Well episode one of #TheTeacher on @channel5_tv was brilliant! I can't wait for tomorrow already! I swear there isn't a role out there that @Sheridansmith1 doesn't absolutely knock out of the park, she is just incredible!"
