“A TEACHER”

(FX on Hulu, Tuesday, Nov. 10) Hannah Fidell’s indie film of the same name came and went in 2013; here, Fidell has given “A Teacher” an extensive makeover as a 10-episode miniseries, starring Kate Mara (“House of Cards”) as Claire, an English teacher at an Austin high school who has a sexual relationship with one of her students, Eric (“Love Simon’s” Nick Robinson). The series doesn’t set out to glorify or sympathize with Claire’s wrongdoing, nor does it take the tone of a lurid Lifetime movie. It’s a portrait of a person in the midst of making a very bad decision.
