Secret Médical

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.

Season 1 is a terrific story. Suspend any cynicism and enjoy. Season 2 is a totally different cast, story and setting. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as season 1

Whittaker and Small are great, but the plot is unbelievable in many points. It's tense and well acted. Too much lens flare though.

I don't see how people are saying that Whittaker gave a weak performance. She did a great job imo (but she's absolutely incredible in Paddy Considine's "Journeyman"). The writing made her character unlikable though.

8 out of 10- tense, well acted, a bit unbelievable

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.
