Psychos

This programme never got the recognition it deserved The cast were fantastic They gelled and had chemistry Storylines delivered with a major kick to the emotional nuts Coming from Glasgow, it was always good to have stuff set there As a psychiatric nurse...... its just wow

Very well done Very highly recommended

A screaming endorsement from this nurse.

I'm a mental health nurse and this is the only TV programme that's ever got close to how it really is. Brilliant just a pity that there was no second series. Bonus is Douglas Henshall is gorgeous lol 😆

An absolute gem. Watched it originally but recently found it again online. I work in mental health and this is spot on. Fantastic.

Since this series has long been and gone, and several other reviewers have described it perfectly, I'll just make a few brief points. Anyone who has ever spent time working in the environment this series is set in will appreciate just how hard it can be to distinguish between Doctors and Patients. Psychos works because it captures the very essence of the subject. At the same time it allows both the story line and characters to develop in a way that pushes the very edges of the boundaries of reality. Are units like this staffed by people like this? No. Does the program portray the essential nature of all those involved? Absolutely.

It's worth pointing out that the series is now available on DVD.

I am a recently qualified hospital-based psychiatrist. I stumbled across this show late one night on a public television network.

It is brilliant. I am eminently aware that it offended many, and that the very conservative Royal College of Psychiatrists condemned it. But I suppose this has to do with its gritty truthfulness. I can relate extremely well to my dedicated, overworked, fragile, and always human colleagues in the show.

Real, disturbing, and extremely enjoyable. Doesn't pretend to whitewash the mentally ill and those who treat them with some politically correct brush intended to placate the easily-offended and all-too-influential consumer-survivor lobby.

If it were available on video or DVD I would by it. Can't say that for too many films or television shows.
