dunja I am disappointed that this won't go to season 2 as it's one of the best medical dramas I have seen; the character development in between these crucial, life-saving, actions is brilliant, the script, the cast, the tempo... perfect. It is no cliché drama with awful love- story tactics that make the medical interventions a welcome break – every aspect is very, very well crafted. While the genre is hard to get right if it's about one team (in this case critical emergencies), which means pretty much 2 or 3 things that can be done to help the patient and a LOT of beeping, this manages to hold its own and brilliantly. British do drama series very well and this is a prime example. Still very disappointed with no season 2....
mondo21-69-91411 This show has just begun airing in Australia and I can say, without a doubt that I am hooked! To watch outstanding acting using realistic medical language, in real time and having realistic human emotions and reactions is truly refreshing. So many other medical shows feature the alpha male (or female) arrogantly performing difficult or first time procedures and reviving patient with only badly performed CPR and shouting "c'mon goddamit!As for the review posted by Mette Fredsted Gram, I would love to know how long she has been an emergency trauma Doctor? How lucky she is to be able to perform life and career threatening procedures that she has never done before without feeling remotely nervous! Congratulations to Jed Mercurio on writing yet another outstanding television show, I just wish there was going to be a second season.
sunoficarus-45119 Dear God this is dire! OMG! We have 60 minutes to save the world, and every other stereotype you can think of. It's scripted more like a Quinn Martin disaster movie than serious T.v. Having had lots of surgery,I Can categorically say this was written by someone who's never been in an operating theatre. It's very dramatic, but how much drama can you take in 60 minutes! Very 2 dimensional characters and the patient seems to be little more than a bit part. After the first few episodes, it wasn't so much theatre, as theatre of blood. Seriously, we get it, but do we really need so much blood and gore by the bucketful! Thank God SKY have done the decent think and killed this show.
Mette Fredsted Gram The overall story isn't that bad. Well, it's not good either, but I've seen worse. But I don't recall ever having seen a show THAT unrealistic, without it having been on purpose. "Follow the drama at a state-of-the- art Major Trauma Centre", they proclaim. Well, state-of-the-art Major Trauma Centre, with incompetent doctors. "Doctors" who apparently have no medical training what so ever. Shaky hands, bad stress handling, mid-surgery discussions, staff nearly puking, the list goes on. The doctors and nurses just generally seem like they have no idea what they're doing. Like every day is their very first day on the job. Or just their very first meeting with the health care industry in general.At first I thought that it must be a post-apocalyptic scenario where none of the "doctors" had medical training, but were forced to a "learning by doing"-approach to safe mankind. Like maybe they were a mere 20 people left on earth, and therefore had no other choice than to try to save their dying race, despite their lack of medical training and bad motor skills. That would have been a much better show.This show cannot be taken seriously. It's just THAT bad. What were they thinking, when they made this? Have they ever been at a hospital, even? Or met a doctor? No real doctors would ever act like that! Any normal functioning person will see right through this. I really don't understand why nobody has stopped this show before it happened.
