The Nurse

What a powerful dramatization of an actual heinous series of acts. ! As found myself glued to the screen early on. Soon after came the shivers. At one point I seriously felt shakes, stomach churning and by the last scene, and ears came falling quietly down my cheeks That's how compelling writing, directing, acting. I binged entire season in one sit. Though it has been a week since it is fair to say the show still has me in its grip.

Acting performances are way above par. I saw a bit of me and bits of my friends in Christina and Pernille. I had a close friend that not only looked exactly like Christina but also bore same personality, behavioural patterns of her as well. So , retrospectively speaking , on a personal level, it was poignant experience to revisit my memories of her through Christina. Character-building is deep, multi-layered, meticulously written. Don't miss out this compelling thriller/biographical drama brought to you by trusted Danish excellence:)

I was craving for a suspense thriller and saw it on Netflix in the same category. But like my life i was again pit in front of unwanted things. Its a slow drama so slow even catterpillar will die reaching to the end. And yes there is no suspense from starting you will know who did what. Boring ! Avoid. There is a new girl in town first day on the job makes friend then become best than envy fights and few constant death in the hospital makes her feel something is wrong even cardiac arrest were so common in the show that doctors were enough to not to find out that there is something wrong . Thanks for.

I was actually surprised at myself for not liking this series. Because I thought I would love a Danish production, Scandinavian film atmosphere and a slow-moving series. But I didn't like it and I got bored. While I like slow-paced movies, this mini series was too slow. I think it could have shot better. Acting wasn't bad. Of course, I don't know how good the acting is, as I don't speak Danish, but it think it is okay. The series was so boring that I didn't care that it was adapted from real events, that these events actually happened. So, I haven't done any research on these events. It didn't interest me. But the truth is that this event will remain a black mark in Danish history.

In general I liked the series, although despite the strong and serious theme they could have chosen a little more color in the photography and the characters, everything is very grey, a very sad color! . It's personal I suppose, but I have seen hospitals that are happier and full of flowers and joy for example.

I have never understood gossip between co-workers either, especially in a hospital, frustrating. The end of the series seemed quite rushed, and at the same time very exciting, it is the best of the series, the last 2 chapters, a lot of tension, and for that reason they could have given it a little more time and also explain the motive and the past of this psychopathic nurse.

Pernille, the nurse who discovers that something strange is happening in the hospital is a hero in my opinion, and I don't understand why the co-workers don't talk to her anymore, incomprehensible, did this really happen? Because the series is very realistic except for this, ridiculous, or are the Danes so cold and stupid? I don't think so. And let's not forget the doctor who helps her!

As you can see, my review is a mixture of positives and negatives. I recommend it because it is a true story, well told, realistic, and has very exciting moments.

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.
