I started out intending to watch just the first episode and ended up watching them all because it was so compelling! All 3 of the female leads were excellent in this brilliantly written series, but it was altogether a strong cast. Having worked in a hospital for some years, I found it to be very true to life and believable, giving true insight into the pressures the NHS staff are under. Well done to all concerned and I really hope there will be another series because we need to see more drama like this.
It's always a good sign when you don't want a series to come to an end and this was one of those series!

Ignore the low scores. They are obviously trolls. This was a binge worthy series and deserving of a second season.
Good character development and storylines. Acting was great and so nice to see female leads steal the show.
Tells the story of three female doctors who have returned to work after the pandemic. Mixing their work lives with their home lives. The shocking decline in NHS services and the unbearable pressure the staff deal with each day.
Dealing with life and death decisions. A well balanced series and worthy of a watch.
I for one look forward to a second season.
I give a solid 10.

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).
I knew it wouldn't last. It was too smart, it was about smart women living a real life. It is about smart women working for men because the system makes that so. Real life stuff. I thought the network would do better than it does in the US. Sadly, it does not.
To stay on the air, I can only assume that it needed more misogyny, more women stabbing each other in the back instead of being friends and looking out for each other, more trite, probably more sex. Funnily enough, though, I don't watch that kind of "stuff", so either way I lose to network execs not paying attention to their customers - again.
