Casualty 1909

This review is for the entire series. An extremely well done period hospital drama. The cast is superb with many familiar actors from other British dramas. The series takes place in the London Hospital in the Whitechapel area of London and treats the poorest of the poor. Many of the lead cast are based and named after real-life doctors, nurses and administrators who worked there and the content of the series is based on actual cases taken from the hospital archives, newspapers and personal accounts of the hospital. This gives the series a realism of what it was like during the first decade of the 20th century. Be warned, this series is not for those squeamish. about blood, burns and operating scenes.
