michael-phillips-55838 I didn't watch this when it first aired but watched it recently. I was expecting a drama based on deceipt reading the summary but it's so much more. The story you can read in the synopsis so won't go into detail about that. For me this was an excellent drama with a good script, excellent acting and intense medical sequences that left me on the edge of my seat. The intensity builds throughout the four parts and keeps you budding for the protagonist even though she is morally corrupt. A good watch and I hope to see more of the lead actress Jodie Whittaker in the future Enjoy.

eastdane-01260 Whittaker and Small are great, but the plot is unbelievable in many points. It's tense and well acted. Too much lens flare though. I don't see how people are saying that Whittaker gave a weak performance. She did a great job imo (but she's absolutely incredible in Paddy Considine's "Journeyman"). The writing made her character unlikable though.8 out of 10- tense, well acted, a bit unbelievable

cliffmacdev I'm not sure which series you peeps were watching but I had to comment. I haven't reviewed much recently but this series forced a reversal.It's excellent. Exactly what I expect from a British series. None of the stupid slick production without substance of the American series but down to earth, with just enough medical drama to supplement the excellent characters. This is seriously good.I binged watched it and analyzed my mood before this review to eliminate emotional subjectivity. I seriously doubt a second series will be as good but I am waiting for it.

Enekpe Although most of the acting is creditable, Jodie Whittaker brings no charisma to the main character and I found it hard to engage with her dilemma, a very bland performance which undermined the whole story. Sharon Small as Brigitte and Emun Elliott as Andy are the best reasons to watch this drama, both bringing real intensity to their characters, but sadly their great performances sat at odds with Whittaker's flat screen presence. For example, would Andy really have risked his career/freedom for such a Luke-warm love affair with Cath/Ally?Also the plot is just not credible. With all the sophisticated photo ID/security checks in place nowadays, it too ludicrous to imagine anyone could sustain such a deception, never mind carry out emergency operations in A&E after swotting up a few medical books in her breaks.Others characters such as her ex, colleagues, father, the fabulous landlady, were much more engaging and three-dimensional.
