It's nothing but the truth, an insight on what care homes actually went through during the pandemic!
I can't exaggerate enough over how well this film was put together. Not only mentioning the fact Jodie Comer has yet again done an amazing job with this role but her and Stephen Graham's chemistry really brought the characters to life and showed us what it was like having dementia and caring for someone with dementia. Trust me, it's not easy.
Working in home care myself, i have been in the middle of the struggles working through the pandemic. For those who don't understand why carers don't get much recognition, the main reasons are in this film. Not only did they mention facts at the end, but also the true emotion of the monologue at the very end makes you realise how bad it is within the care industry. You know it's about to get real when Jodie comer breaks the fourth wall.
This film is such an eye opener, i would recommend it for anyone. And thank you Jodie comer and Stephen graham on your performances, pure talent.

I worked in a care home at covid time so I know what it was like and it was just like this show portrays Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham play their parts so well well done had me in tears going back to a time when the elderly was seriously let down.

Just watched this on All4. Very powerful and emotional drama highlighting the plight most care homes faced as the services collapsed because of high volume of calls and lack of preparedness scandously neglected by the authorities and Government with regards to updated safety procedures and availability of PPE equipment. The GOV (Matt Hancock) lied saying these care homes were being prioritised and kept in special bubbles, when in reality they were forgotten. Great acting by the legendary Stephen Graham and Jodie Comer. Made my heart sink watching this.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking portrayal. Jodie Comer is the actress of our generation. 💜
A powerful film that shows the hard truth of how care homes were ignored and left to survive on their own.
Jodie Comer and Stephen Were phenomenal in their roles. The acting felt real. A true masterclass in acting and never sliding into over dramatic acting which I feel could have happened if they weren't these actors. Jodie and Stephen deserve all the awards.
Hard to watch but a must watch.
That one scene ( the night shift) that will stay with me for a long time.

- TriviaJodie Comer and Stephen Graham had previously worked together in the first episode of Good Cop (2012). While filming that episode, Graham was so impressed by Comer's performance that he proceeded to call his agent Jane Epstein while on the set. Following Graham's recommendation, Epstein later met with Comer, who was a relatively unknown actress at the time. She became her agent, which led to a boost in Comer's acting career and also to a close friendship between both actors.
