Dr. James Ford is placed in an impossible situation when he is called on to deal with two emergency cases: one involving a woman urgently needing a psychological evaluation and the second involving Rosie, a pregnant woman who is presenting as psychotic. Rosie suffers a huge episode and places herself in serious danger.
It was somewhat surprising that this came back for a second series, but series one was entertaining enough. In this first episode, it's a little far-fetched, but it's a fine first start.
James really has been thrown under a bus by all concerned, especially Dr. McAllister, who is the cause of it all! It did get the blood pressure racing; it was tense and uncomfortable viewing. They certainly make you feel that the MIU is some shadowy, terrifying, all-powerful organisation, with the fear of life and death.
The way Rosie was bound and restrained was like something from the 1800s; it's a wonder they didn't place a scold's bridle on her as well!
It's always good to see Tom Hughes, he's such a talented actor, appearing in both this and The Gold, we're definitely getting a fix. The supporting cast is excellent, with Zoe Telford, Toby Bakare and Selin Hizli.
Watching this on ITV, there seemed to be hundreds of adverts.
