The Nurse

What a powerful dramatization of an actual heinous series of acts. ! As found myself glued to the screen early on. Soon after came the shivers. At one point I seriously felt shakes, stomach churning and by the last scene, and ears came falling quietly down my cheeks That's how compelling writing, directing, acting. I binged entire season in one sit. Though it has been a week since it is fair to say the show still has me in its grip.

Acting performances are way above par. I saw a bit of me and bits of my friends in Christina and Pernille. I had a close friend that not only looked exactly like Christina but also bore same personality, behavioural patterns of her as well. So , retrospectively speaking , on a personal level, it was poignant experience to revisit my memories of her through Christina. Character-building is deep, multi-layered, meticulously written. Don't miss out this compelling thriller/biographical drama brought to you by trusted Danish excellence:)

A true story of a nurse that kills patients by giving them drugs. If it sounds familiar it's because you've seen It before on a different Netflix series. There's a few differences, but it's a familiar story.

The acting is mediocre, the dubbing is poor, and it's a little slow. It's predictable, and boring at times but it's worth a watch if you've exhausted all other options and have a few hours to kill. Some reviews gave it 10/10 and some didn't like it at all but I found it to be average or a bit below.

The fact that it's factual is what kept me going. It was hard to understand the fact that the nurses at the hospital had unlimited access to the medicine room and they didn't keep track of the drugs. They'd never do this in the US, not with all the pill poppers in the world.

Great acting!

Josephine Park and Fanny Louise Bernth were excellent together.

Being a nurse I can't believe there was no register of what drugs were being taken. Knowing how strict it is where I work, it's astonishing. We only have to accidentally drop a diazepam on the floor and we are on our hands and knees frantically looking for it. I'm sure this has changed in Denmark.

The only real negative that I found was that it sort of dragged on a bit until the last 20 or so minutes in the last episode and it all sort of wrapped up and was finished. It's based on a true story, which always gives an element of shock when such horrifying stories are told. There's a few psychopathic nurse stories and this was is an enjoyable watch.

In general I liked the series, although despite the strong and serious theme they could have chosen a little more color in the photography and the characters, everything is very grey, a very sad color! . It's personal I suppose, but I have seen hospitals that are happier and full of flowers and joy for example.

I have never understood gossip between co-workers either, especially in a hospital, frustrating. The end of the series seemed quite rushed, and at the same time very exciting, it is the best of the series, the last 2 chapters, a lot of tension, and for that reason they could have given it a little more time and also explain the motive and the past of this psychopathic nurse.

Pernille, the nurse who discovers that something strange is happening in the hospital is a hero in my opinion, and I don't understand why the co-workers don't talk to her anymore, incomprehensible, did this really happen? Because the series is very realistic except for this, ridiculous, or are the Danes so cold and stupid? I don't think so. And let's not forget the doctor who helps her!

As you can see, my review is a mixture of positives and negatives. I recommend it because it is a true story, well told, realistic, and has very exciting moments.

I was craving for a suspense thriller and saw it on Netflix in the same category. But like my life i was again pit in front of unwanted things. Its a slow drama so slow even catterpillar will die reaching to the end. And yes there is no suspense from starting you will know who did what. Boring ! Avoid. There is a new girl in town first day on the job makes friend then become best than envy fights and few constant death in the hospital makes her feel something is wrong even cardiac arrest were so common in the show that doctors were enough to not to find out that there is something wrong . Thanks for.
