Trauma

I had seriously high hopes for this; I usually enjoy watching John Simm and Adrian Lester (Hustle was a particular favourite of mine), but oh dear, this was utter garbage. The only trauma was watching it. The whole thing was so totally unbelievable and absurd, to the point of being ridiculously annoying. I got as far as part way through the second episode and I could take it no more. Plot holes, procedural inaccuracies, and unbelievable characters made it totally unwatchable.

I was looking forward to this show as I like both leads but that's about the only good part of this series.

The storyline is just implausible. I have family in the medical trade and they just couldn't believe how much the script just invented what would 100% never happen in a hospital.

I understand that it's a drama but a little realism wouldn't go amiss.

And that's just the first episode, which is actually the strongest episode. The finale really lets the show. There's a reason why it currently has a 4.1 rating.

Just utter nonsense; so we've already invented what you can get away with in hospitals, may as well invent what you can get away with legally i.e. what the police will do.

So, in the U.K., massively unsterile members of the public can just walk into an operating theatre and distract the surgeon without any outcry. Such absolute nonsense. Never mind the rest of it. Goes from ridiculous to complete nonsense.

Disappointing as I expected better. Love British productions despite the fact that they insist on only making a handful of episodes. This one failed to impress with a somewhat inconceivable plot with many situations that just would not happen. It does disappoint that too many rate so many shows 1 out of 10 or 10 out of 10. Seriously let's get fair..not too many are ever a 10 and certainly not this one...nor is it terrible. Many of us rely on these ratings....

I found the father to be irritating. There's no way you can feel anything for him or the family really because it's overshadowed by actions that no one would ever take. I understand that emotions run high but I think it's unrealistic and over the top. I couldn't take the program seriously and got more and more frustrated at the father.
