Brilliant show

This show is a must watch because one minute you'll be laughing out loud then the next minute you will be sobbing your heart out.

And there are some moments where you feel that Ben Whishaw character is talking to you directly.

Wow, speechless

So it may be the bottle of Prosecco I was drinking through the first couple of episodes OR the fact that I've listened to the audiobook read by Adam Kay himself a couple of times but this series rocked me and is the best experience I've had watching a series in a long time.

The main character is one who initially is difficult to connect with but over the series you understand why. I was stunned from episode 5 onwards and it once again is a great reminder of the service provided by the NHS and the importance of every individual involved. Thank you Adam Kay & BBC for sharing this with us all.

Brilliant

A must watch for sure. Story is engaging, Ben Whishaw is amazing.

I saw the trailer first and that made me read the book (a must read too), and then finally got to watch this.

I hope we are getting more of this kind of realist show. Truly an insight into a broken system and what doctors went through.

11/10

That's a masterpiece. I don't remember when any tv show left me speechless(episode 6-7), I am watching a lot tho. The cast is genius, black humor weaving with drama twists are just brilliant.

Just what the doctor ordered

Sorry for the pun but it is actually just the right type of show I need as tv is all the same these days.

I knew this was going to be funny and sad but I laughed more than I thougt I would and was adder as I cried with real feeling for Adam.

This means that Ben portrays him very well. Thank you fore eryone involved in bringing this to our screens.

Trivia
Many of the extras were played by actual hospital staff; the producers thought it would be easier than training actors who had no hospital experience.
