[12] Professor Jasper Tempest, a genius criminologist at Cambridge University, who has OCD and an overbearing mother, assists the police in solving crimes.
[13] Jesus College, Cambridge features prominently,[19] although the series was mainly filmed in Belgium.Carol Midgley of The Times gave it two stars out of five, praising Miller but lambasting the plot and tonal shifts.
[20] 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".
[22] Professor T. received strong criticism from national OCD organisations, arguing the show promoted stereotypes (akin to Channel 4's Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners).
