EndedScripted showDrama

The middle school is the hardest time of your life. Especially if you're forty! That approach forms the basis for the new drama series, Tessa that transmits BNN from autumn on NPO 1. The series tells of the tough, politically incorrect teacher Tessa. She smokes in the girls' bathroom, it does with the rector and everybody says exactly what it is. The students run away with her, but adults can get a grip on her.
