Esto te va a doler

That's a masterpiece. I don't remember when any tv show left me speechless(episode 6-7), I am watching a lot tho. The cast is genius, black humor weaving with drama twists are just brilliant.

There's very little to add to the headline because this is that one rare program that comes around every now and then on which you really can't think of ways to improve. Well-written, well-directed, well-set, and above all, with a bravura performance from Ben Whishaw -- who is somehow able to make a character both unsympathetic, sympathetic, cold, warm, hostile, sweet, and every other possible human characteristic. The rest of the cast is outstanding as well, especially Ambika Mod as the bedraggled young doctor doing her best, and Rory Fleck Byrne as Harry, doing his best to put up with the boyfriend who's barely present. (The show is also a blistering commentary on health care in the UK, making you hope you never get sick there).

The only possible improvement would be another season. Or two. Or more.

So it may be the bottle of Prosecco I was drinking through the first couple of episodes OR the fact that I've listened to the audiobook read by Adam Kay himself a couple of times but this series rocked me and is the best experience I've had watching a series in a long time.

The main character is one who initially is difficult to connect with but over the series you understand why. I was stunned from episode 5 onwards and it once again is a great reminder of the service provided by the NHS and the importance of every individual involved. Thank you Adam Kay & BBC for sharing this with us all.

I was hoping when I read this book that it would be serialised but also that it wouldn't lose anything in the process.

I needn't have worried the script is as sharp as a scalpel and expertly delivered by a superb team.

You wouldn't want to be squeamish though.

Thoroughly recommended.

This is a really good series. Ben is a great actor everyone else is so good. The stories are funny, sad, serious. I hope they make another. I never read the book but there must be more to come. The last episode's childbrith scene is so graphic ! Dont miss this gem of a show.
