Episode #1.2

The first episode ended with the man who supplied Dr Lucinda Edwards with her prescription drugs getting run over.

Now Dr Edwards has to rush to accident and emergency to save Rob Thornbury's life. It is touch and go.

Rob is also the doctor who supplied the drugs to Edith Owusu. He also phoned Dr Edwards in advance that she had overdosed.

Dr Edwards blunders into meeting Rob's wife Eva at their home. Trying to sort the mess out. It seems Rob was prescribing a weeks worth of Methadone to some of his patients rather than do it daily.

The episode reveals more about the relationship between Dr Edwards, Rob Thornbury and how Edith Owusu fitted in.

Once again the medical aspects of the episode was nicely represented. It is hard to care about the main character. Lucinda Edwards manipulates a prescription to get painkillers for herself.

At the awards ceremony she gets drunk and accepts an award that her team won, leaving the senior doctors embarrassed. No wonder they are having second thoughts about her promotion.

George Adjei, the person investigating her concludes that she is not the person he used to know.

So far there is nothing out of the ordinary with Malpractice. It is hard to care about the central character's predicament. So far the Owusu family seemed to have been absent.

Lucinda has to operate on Rob Thornbury, and is still under heavy observation and suspicion from The Medical Investigation unit.

It's perhaps not as sharp or dramatic as the debut episode, but that's perhaps to be expected, instead we're seeing the fallout, Doctor Lucinda Edwards misbehaves at an award ceremony, perhaps letting off a lot of steam. We also learn more about her past, and discover the mental strain she, and many Doctors and medical staff faced during The Pandemic.

Doesn't it just to to show, it doesn't matter the setting, the circumstances, people will always try and cover their own backs at the very top.

What on Earth has Lucinda unearthed, there is definitely some intrigue here.

Erm....just one thing, would anyone carrying out a surgical procedure be wearing a face mask?

Niamh Algar is so good, what a talented actress, in general the acting is so good.

7/10.
