I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I didn't watch this when it first aired but watched it recently. I was expecting a drama based on deceipt reading the summary but it's so much more. The story you can read in the synopsis so won't go into detail about that. For me this was an excellent drama with a good script, excellent acting and intense medical sequences that left me on the edge of my seat. The intensity builds throughout the four parts and keeps you budding for the protagonist even though she is morally corrupt. A good watch and I hope to see more of the lead actress Jodie Whittaker in the future Enjoy.

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

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.

Spoiler Warning, this is my impression in a general way after watching the first two episodes.I can see credibility problems which require a suspension of belief on two different levels. First is the documentation paperwork involved with bank accounts, pay, leases, etc, which is an issue that was addressed somewhat in the first two episodes. They glossed over a lot of this, and in some ways had they gone into detail, it likely would have been criticized for too much paperwork. But in a show about a stolen identity, to be done well, these details need to be included. If handled as well as they were, in say, Day of the Jackal, then it could be anything but a boring aspect of the show.Second is the transition of her medical competence from being a nurse in one scenario to being a doctor in another. To me, much of it was disappointing because they had her seem a bit too obviously out of her comfort zone, standing paralyzed for what seemed like ages rather than being part of the A&E team. Those who watched The Fall will recall the most excellent A&E scene which was done in excruciating detail and accuracy. Yes, we get that she feels out of place, but I think it would have come off better as her being competent in public and then having a near breakdown in private as opposed to the 30-45 second long deer in the headlights looks which should have raised an immediate red flag from everyone else in the room.One thing the show does is address the difference between credentials and credibility, in much the same way that early seasons of the USA TV show Scrubs showed that the staff nurses were often more competent at performing some procedures than the new residents and interns. Most A&E work is routine tasks under higher pressure and I know a number of older experienced Physicians Assistants who could easily pass as an MD in working up and treating a patient.
