Trust Me

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.

I would have preferred more of the Season 1 characters. Season 2 wasn't the same show.

Season 1 was not perfect. There were a few plot holes, but the show was still very enjoyable. I would have taken another ten episodes of the impostor trying to make it work living in someone else's shoes. I found it fascinating. The fact that it was morally reprehensible and full of escalating lies made it even more fun.

This is a really great series which I've just watched for the second time. Jodie Whittaker turns in her usual excellent performance supported by a very strong cast.

Every episode builds to the exciting climax and I can't understand some of the poor reviews here. Dan Sefton, the writer, is a former doctor and the technical aspects of the story are very well done.

Season 1 is a terrific story. Suspend any cynicism and enjoy. Season 2 is a totally different cast, story and setting. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as season 1

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
