The Nurse

Based on a true story but as a drama it had plenty of flaws. At the start it looked like it would be quite a good story but the writer kept quite close to what actually happened, and it left a very simplistic sequence of events.

By the end it felt like I'd watched a documentary, but acted out without any narration.

The family and relationship subplots were particularly weak and uninteresting. The acting was moderate, but the cast really didn't have much to help them.

Some extremely monotonous and repetitive sets. One I found especially annoying was how the protagonist almost always talked to her daughter in bed.

Disappointing, but at least it was short.

I was craving for a suspense thriller and saw it on Netflix in the same category. But like my life i was again pit in front of unwanted things. Its a slow drama so slow even catterpillar will die reaching to the end. And yes there is no suspense from starting you will know who did what. Boring ! Avoid. There is a new girl in town first day on the job makes friend then become best than envy fights and few constant death in the hospital makes her feel something is wrong even cardiac arrest were so common in the show that doctors were enough to not to find out that there is something wrong . Thanks for.

The negative reviews are nuts as usual from people who don't get decent tv. Well acted, tense, doesn't go for mainstream twisting of the truth. One of the few decent programmes on netflix. People who say it was bad acting, mention the smoking scene, and that hospitals aren't like this need to get in touch with real life. They snuck the cigs and alcohol in to the hospital, it was a notoriously bad hospital anyway in a rough area, and the acting was excellent. It's a little slow in places, but a terrible true story told better than a lot of the rubbish around these days. Watch it and wonder how this could have gone on for so long.

Great acting!

Josephine Park and Fanny Louise Bernth were excellent together.

Being a nurse I can't believe there was no register of what drugs were being taken. Knowing how strict it is where I work, it's astonishing. We only have to accidentally drop a diazepam on the floor and we are on our hands and knees frantically looking for it. I'm sure this has changed in Denmark.

The only real negative that I found was that it sort of dragged on a bit until the last 20 or so minutes in the last episode and it all sort of wrapped up and was finished. It's based on a true story, which always gives an element of shock when such horrifying stories are told. There's a few psychopathic nurse stories and this was is an enjoyable watch.

In general I liked the series, although despite the strong and serious theme they could have chosen a little more color in the photography and the characters, everything is very grey, a very sad color! . It's personal I suppose, but I have seen hospitals that are happier and full of flowers and joy for example.

I have never understood gossip between co-workers either, especially in a hospital, frustrating. The end of the series seemed quite rushed, and at the same time very exciting, it is the best of the series, the last 2 chapters, a lot of tension, and for that reason they could have given it a little more time and also explain the motive and the past of this psychopathic nurse.

Pernille, the nurse who discovers that something strange is happening in the hospital is a hero in my opinion, and I don't understand why the co-workers don't talk to her anymore, incomprehensible, did this really happen? Because the series is very realistic except for this, ridiculous, or are the Danes so cold and stupid? I don't think so. And let's not forget the doctor who helps her!

As you can see, my review is a mixture of positives and negatives. I recommend it because it is a true story, well told, realistic, and has very exciting moments.
