The Nurse

As I don't like long series, I just only go for the 3 or 4 parts-series. In the beginning you don't know who is de bad nurse, it just unfolds.. and then.. how do you get to the arrest? It's a extreme difficult situation, as no colleague wants to listen to a bad story about a so-called well-skilled nurse. The difficulties the whistleblower had to go through, are unimaginable. The story line with some personal, family issues in between, is very entertaining, in a real life sense. The filming is still very easy to watch, still nerve wrecking. That the 'good nurse' pulled the thing through is a big miracle, and she is a hero.

I don't watch series, only short ones. I watched the Danish medical thriller , the suspenseful The Nurse in one sitting, breathlessly. After the quarantines of the pandemic, this film is particularly shocking. Who do we trust with our lives in the emergency room? A thoughtful, expertly crafted, psychological thriller that tackles many contemporary social and moral dilemmas.

The Danish acting school is renowned for its talent. Fanny Louise and Josephine Park, a duo of two nurses nicknamed the "dream team" will not leave cinema lovers indifferent. It turns out that the battle between Good and Evil can take place in a tiny provincial ambulance service, at the bedside of a sick person. I was touched by the way the director showed the dramatic choice of Good in impossible circumstances.

The mini-series is based on a true story that took place in the Danish hospital Nykøbing Falster . It is incredible that for four whole years nobody noticed the crime there.

A perfect script and impressive direction. I'll have to watch it again when emotions have run over.

A true story of a nurse that kills patients by giving them drugs. If it sounds familiar it's because you've seen It before on a different Netflix series. There's a few differences, but it's a familiar story.

The acting is mediocre, the dubbing is poor, and it's a little slow. It's predictable, and boring at times but it's worth a watch if you've exhausted all other options and have a few hours to kill. Some reviews gave it 10/10 and some didn't like it at all but I found it to be average or a bit below.

The fact that it's factual is what kept me going. It was hard to understand the fact that the nurses at the hospital had unlimited access to the medicine room and they didn't keep track of the drugs. They'd never do this in the US, not with all the pill poppers in the world.

Great acting!

Josephine Park and Fanny Louise Bernth were excellent together.

Being a nurse I can't believe there was no register of what drugs were being taken. Knowing how strict it is where I work, it's astonishing. We only have to accidentally drop a diazepam on the floor and we are on our hands and knees frantically looking for it. I'm sure this has changed in Denmark.

The only real negative that I found was that it sort of dragged on a bit until the last 20 or so minutes in the last episode and it all sort of wrapped up and was finished. It's based on a true story, which always gives an element of shock when such horrifying stories are told. There's a few psychopathic nurse stories and this was is an enjoyable watch.

The negative reviews are nuts as usual from people who don't get decent tv. Well acted, tense, doesn't go for mainstream twisting of the truth. One of the few decent programmes on netflix. People who say it was bad acting, mention the smoking scene, and that hospitals aren't like this need to get in touch with real life. They snuck the cigs and alcohol in to the hospital, it was a notoriously bad hospital anyway in a rough area, and the acting was excellent. It's a little slow in places, but a terrible true story told better than a lot of the rubbish around these days. Watch it and wonder how this could have gone on for so long.
