Boy this must have looked good in the concept stage.
We'll do the most graphic medical drama in history, said one exec to the other, and we will overlay classic dramatic arcs to keep it moving along.
Well, the first bit worked. This is the most graphic show of its kind. It is even more graphic than many medical documentaries.
The second bit did not work. Never underestimate the viewer. By the third episode the viewer has figured out 3 key things about this series:
1. No matter how straightforward the procedure, no matter how skilled the staff, something will go wrong at the 30 min mark and stretch it to a one hour operation.
2. Overlaying life and death surgery with maudlin and peevish character arcs does not work.
3. Overall, I would rather work in my garden.
Which is why even with James (who is always great) this imploded after one season.

There are many medical TV shows out there but when I saw this advertised it looked different. Ever since I started watching I've been on the edge of my seat, and eagerly anticipating the next episode!! I can't rate Critical enough! In my opinion the acting of all the actors is amazing and the choreography and fluency of the characters is funny and enjoyable. The medical jargon and realism seem pretty outstanding (mainly because I don't get half of it)! But arguably most of all, the quality of the plot and the quality of the makeup for the surgery/injuries just takes my breath away!
I'm so hoping for a second season and one just isn't enough! Both me and my sister love sitting down and watching it together! And you should try it too!!

If I was rating just one of the episodes I would probably rate it at 9 or 10. The only reason I dropped to overall rating to 7 is that each episode is basically the same, concentrating on the medical trauma and the intervention. There is a slight story running in the back ground but it´s weak at best. A stronger underlying story would make this series so much better. An excellent example of that is the series Bodies which is in the same genre but because it had a great story as well as the raw medical content it was just brilliant. But even as only a seven, still well worth watching.
Very interesting how some have seen this as unrealistic, after 38 years of working in this environment, I can say it's very realistic, some of the cases are exaggerated and the timelines compressed for entertainment purposes, but the scenes are extremely realistic, and it's easy to recognise personalities in the characters, but it's understandable that it could be seen as OTT and too gory for many viewers.
critical is a gripping drama with a brilliant background story -I feel like I've gone through a trauma at the end of every episode never have I seen a program that has me on the edge of my seat like this! It's set in a 24 style with each episode being in real time 60 minutes.
Great acting, great story, brilliantly done -
Def a 10 out of 10 and cant wait to watch the next series
If you're looking for a exciting medical drama then look no further!
