Secret Médical

When Senior Nurse Cath is pushed out of her job, she steals the identity of someone who's setting off to a life in New Zealand.

Suspend your disbelief, that's all I'd say here, if you take it too seriously, you'll struggle. It has taken me the best part of six years to get through it, but it's actually a pretty good watch.

I'm glad it's just four hours, and not six, it's well paced, and manages not to feel too stretched or drawn out.

There were definitely some in jokes with Jodie playing A Doctor, with people unaware that she had, by this point, been cast as The Doctor. I think Jodie is actually really good here, this is the kind of role I think she's better suited to, she's very convincing. Sharon Small was great in support, as was Emun Elliot.

So, you are going to scratch your head a few times, trust me getting a job inside The NHS is subject to multiple rigorous checks, once you get past that aspect you'll enjoy it.

7/10.

I'm not sure which series you peeps were watching but I had to comment. I haven't reviewed much recently but this series forced a reversal.

It's excellent. Exactly what I expect from a British series. None of the stupid slick production without substance of the American series but down to earth, with just enough medical drama to supplement the excellent characters. This is seriously good.

I binged watched it and analyzed my mood before this review to eliminate emotional subjectivity. I seriously doubt a second series will be as good but I am waiting for it.

This is a really great series which I've just watched for the second time. Jodie Whittaker turns in her usual excellent performance supported by a very strong cast.

Every episode builds to the exciting climax and I can't understand some of the poor reviews here. Dan Sefton, the writer, is a former doctor and the technical aspects of the story are very well done.

I would have preferred more of the Season 1 characters. Season 2 wasn't the same show.

Season 1 was not perfect. There were a few plot holes, but the show was still very enjoyable. I would have taken another ten episodes of the impostor trying to make it work living in someone else's shoes. I found it fascinating. The fact that it was morally reprehensible and full of escalating lies made it even more fun.

I didn't watch this when it first aired but watched it recently. I was expecting a drama based on deceipt reading the summary but it's so much more. The story you can read in the synopsis so won't go into detail about that. For me this was an excellent drama with a good script, excellent acting and intense medical sequences that left me on the edge of my seat. The intensity builds throughout the four parts and keeps you budding for the protagonist even though she is morally corrupt. A good watch and I hope to see more of the lead actress Jodie Whittaker in the future Enjoy.
