I absolutely loved this series and couldn't stop watching. We so need more series like this - It had brilliant story lines and a superb cast whom you couldn't stop watching. As a woman who had experienced the realities and sacrifices of working in an industry run be men (albeit not a medical one) there was so much they got right. Women being expected to take on far more than their fair share of both work and child care with a smile on their faces, the camaraderie amongst women who have each others backs and the reality of the NHS being on its knees. Unfortunately there was a fair bit wrong too (which made me a little surprised it was written by a woman). The fact that all male characters (even the gay one!) are chauvinists or losers was a big one, and the fact that despite all the shortages the wards look pristine.

Also the title of the series - MATERNAL -really? Is there a better title to deter male viewers! My boyfriend loved this too but would never have watched this my himself despite seeking out the much better titled 'this is going to hurt'

More of these brilliant relatable women please - next series let's just have better male characters and less apology from the kick arse women who work with them.

I can understand the points about bad acting here - the parts were cast brilliantly. Yes, it's not groundbreaking and it might not be absolutely true to life but there are certainly elements that are relatable. The storylines are shocking and hard hitting. I can't see anything else they could add here - except a longer series as some parts did feel quite rushed and some stories could have potentially had more detail added to them. That's more to the shows credit, than it's demise though. All in all, this is a great show and I do hope they bring it back for another series (or many more in the future).

Following 3 doctors in NHS, and their busy lives, handling work and children husbands, sadness and happiness, got me hooked from the start. Very well acted.

Pleased all episodes on ITVX .

Happy marriages, unhappy . Comedy, sadness, very witty script, Great characters, shows arrogance of Consultants think they are god.

Shows stresses and strains put on Doctors .

Great performances , make you laugh and cry.

Insight into training Doctors and strains they go through.

Hope they have more series.

Very good acting, good Actresses.

Hope people will love it.

I was a nurse so can understand the runnings of busy wards .

Loved this. Wasn't sure what to expect with it being a British show. Usually most of these are American but I was really surprised and ended up bringing the whole thing. Really hoping for a second season. Loved Nagra from ER and she didn't disappoint in this. It's exactly what woman are supposed to try to do, juggle family life and work life or just be expected to put life in hold with no support to continue as themselves. Has the same grey's feels about it though with who is sleeping with who! Definitely worth the watch as a new mum or even a dad to help understand the roles and how it is just expected of us to manage.
