Verrate mich nicht

What's wrong with the director, lamps and the freaking lamp shines...

Although any drama involves a suspension of disbelief, this one has too many holes to go to sea safely.

Of course Jodie Whittaker is good as the nursing sister in a failing NHS hospital whose whistle blowing costs her her job. Indeed the acting is competent all round and the settings (Edinburgh) refreshing. But ... the plot is simply unbelievable.

We are expected to think Jodie takes the identity of a doctor who has emigrated. She picks up a post at an Edinburgh A & E department. Somehow she does this with no bank account details or references. It is simply beyond credibility and the writers should be admonished for not even giving a nod to how she pulls this off. If you accept that, and her willingness to have sex in the bathroom of her consultant (a private house)on day two or three, then maybe the story line is captivating enough to see where it goes.

Luckily Jodie achieved the Dr. Who post before this medical posting unravels.

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

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.

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.
