Reception
Carol Midgley of The Times gave it two stars out of five, praising Miller but lambasting the plot and tonal shifts.[13] Ed Cumming of The Independent also commended Miller's performance as well as Naomi's and de la Tour's, but suggested that the show "isn't quite there yet".[14]
Anita Singh of The Daily Telegraph criticised the use of rape in the show's first episode, as well as the scenes depicting the attacks, stating: "There is promise in Tempest’s story, but, please, can this be the last time that rape is used as cheap entertainment?".[15]
Just like previously Channel 4's Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners, Professor T. received strong criticism from national OCD organisations. The British charity OCD-UK stated "The start of the series is no better than the opening sequence… a pair of hands being scrubbed hospital theatre style, rather than OCD style, and just like that ITV’s failure to accurately portray OCD begins." "As that first scene ends, not a word spoken and this crime series already feels like a crime against the accurate portrayal of mental health problems." "The reality is that OCD doesn’t really appear integral to the show and is not adding anything but creating a quirkiness about the character, and that could so easily have been done without giving the character Compulsive Disorder…. I won’t say Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, because there doesn't appear to be any reference to the obsessions that cause the behaviours across any of the six episodes. Whilst I know that Professor T is not a documentary, ITV have a responsibility not to create programming that is stigmatic and perpetuates stereotypes."[16]
