Nurses Who Kill

While very interesting and informative, the series suffers from not enough footage. The same scenes - even dramatic reconstructions - are being repeated five and more times throughout the episode, with some scenes taken from previous episodes. As a result - each episode feels like dragging on and if we cut out all repetitions, it would shrink to 15 minutes.

All the episodes had similar content. Very repetitive, each episode had same sentences used over and over again which makes the documentary kind of boring. More information would be better and would be more interesting for viewers because this documentary had a great potential to be better in terms of real footages used as even the footages were repetitive. They didn't use a single nurse for her/his experience and views on this.

Many of the episodes of "nurses" who kill have nothing to do with "nurses". There is not such profession as a "carer" and EMT's and other ancillary healthcare professionals are NOT nurses and cannot and DO NOT provide "nursing care". Whoever made this trainwreck doesn't understand the healthcare system at all so it's unlikely the information is nothing more than trite melodrama. Stopped watching after 2 minutes when they kept referring to non nurses providing "nursing care".

I'm not sure why it's so hard to get this right. It's not a complicated concept to understand who is and isn't a "nurse".

The first 3 episodes involve cases that you can find better video documentaries of on YouTube.

Lots of other gripes: 1. The consulting MD for all the episodes has an unnerving habit of smiling while she's discussing horror stories. I can't even watch her.

2. What a tedious, repetitive mess overall. Could have been condensed to 20 mins. In fact, just skip forward till the last 20 mins and save your time.

3. For a series on "Nurses Who Kill", why aren't any nurses consulted? As another reviewer pointed out, we could have provided a much better and more informative commentary on the actions of our fellow nurses.

What do Colin Norris, Daniela Poggiali, and Ben Geen have in common? They are almost certainly innocent, according to many scholars and experts who have studied these cases closely. Miscarriages of justice do happen. They happen rather often (a) in the UK, (b) in serial killer nurse cases. These cases are fortunately very rare, but also very challenging. Courts must first decide whether or not there actually were any murders at all, and only if so, who was the perpetrator. Typically some surprising incident combined with pre-existing gossip about a nurse who stands our in the crowd, in a hospital which actually is failing due to bad management, understaffing etc, triggers a witch hunt and a witch trial. Forensic research is not done by police investigators buy by hospital specialists and managers, who give the information to police and to the courts, and who are needed to interpret that information. It's a recipe for disaster. Daniela Poggiali (Italy) has been acquitted after a retrial. The toxicological and statistical evidence against her was pure garbage.
